(spoilers) oscar ive been so excited to read this since you submitted it!! i love that snowy is not explicitly evil, but has all the tell tale signs of a typical gen ai yes-man. my skin turned cold after dani damaged her so severely and snowy reassured her that she had done nothing wrong. it makes me wonder how many other times snowy had to have her shell replaced were also a result of dani lashing out and destroying her.
i really like how subtle your characterization of snowy is, from remarking that she is extremely different from an actual cat but that dani doesnt know the difference to the way she tries to diffuse danis anger at isabela by reaffirming her paranoia. snowy wasnt trying to make dani worse- snowy doesnt have any intentions at all- but it does make me wonder how dani would have ended up if she wasnt exposed to snowy so young.
absolutely remarkable commentary on the way gen ai separates us from other people and the way it removes peoples ability to deal with interpersonal conflict in a meaningful way. paired with beautiful writing and art. youve done so much with such a short experience that still felt impactful and that no time was wasted. thank you for making this!
