I am not filled with an abundance of emotion when reading most things regardless of how much I enjoy them but, reading this made me tear up at times both at the obvious sorrow and at the hope of it all. (You don't know me but that is pretty big and more than once no less, I am impressed) You made something more than an LI delivery device, solid read. I am looking forward to seeing how it unfolds :)

To add to this if you select the flirt options with the "ex friend" choice prior it is worded as though you were in a relationship previously and I think that is how the ex friend without the flirting comes off as well, it reads like there was an invested romantic relationship that the MC potentially cheated on as opposed to friends. That being said I did enjoy the game so far but I agree with the OP that this particular thing feels off. As does the shirt with Cam even if you are his size lol
I felt like it was off so I thought about it a little and I also realize the reasoning for doing what we did with the reaper is flawed. When we converse with Death in the beginning, he indicates that even standing in front of him MC is hazy, meaning that Death and MC cannot pin point one another even if standing in the same room. And if you select the option to talk to him again later he clarifies this. He can't find you. The only reason they found you before, is because of Zillah actively setting out to make it so, Syd also points out that keeping Zillah bound keeps him hidden and there was other mention of Syd's precautions as well previously being part of the reason that Zillah had to do what he did to make MC visible to Azrael to begin with. So even if Death knows you opened a portal we could be anywhere if they don't snag us immediately after we pass through so there would be no reason not to simply teleport and if anything the thing with the Reaper is a greater beacon than just opening the path any other way as it directly informs Azrael that it is happening with accuracy and would probably qualify as a war crime under most definitions of the term heh. I could see maybe this information not coming to the MC if they have been fighting Death too much to even have the conversation to know that their presence would be obscured, or shut down Zillah during the meeting before he could finish giving the report but even if MC doesn't know Zillah certainly does. So harming the reaper is needlessly cruel and a pointed beacon to Azrael which says we are being set up for betrayal and we are somehow missing it if we saw that dialog or it is a plot hole.
When doing the selections I feel like I might be the only one who went along with Death here, I selected the "it's an easy enough choice to make" option. And it doesn't seem to change the dialog moving forward in fact it is the opposite. The same with the discussion and results on the reaper. The MC is an anomaly that proves that Death doesn't have to do things as he always has, and we are currently squandering that while knowing what it will do to the world with the selections I have made thus far. Are we going full on Sam and Dean or is this an error?
Someone else pointed out the Chris being on break thing when there was no romance invested but also for Rahim when he appears in the exorcism scene shows a couple errors on the screen which makes me think I am missing some text? But otherwise functions normally, it also doesn't calculate his romance points unless you select the answer regarding Lucia in the dream sequence scene. I will note that that was also the only answers in which the icon for romance options appeared beside the text, it otherwise does not show with the other answers even though it is the same lines of dialog.
