thank you so much for the kind words! i'm glad you liked my presentation and art for the game.
Sunny's behaviour and dialogue is bizarre and disturbing and provocative, the paradoxical "the straighties can go elsewhere for their yaois" truly killed me and will be hooked in my brain for days, maybe weeks, or months. And this is the thing that gets me about seeing characters like this, and living alongside people like this: they are addictive to think about, because they are so confusing and repulsive and pitiful and all these other complicated things. Their ambivalence is maddening and captivating. This is an interiority and a humanity that Anita lacks; textually, one she doesn't allow herself, but also one that the writing seems hesitant to give to her. It doesn't surprise me to see a victim spend all her time inside the head of the perpetrator. In the same way, this work does as well.
i'm glad sunny could fascinate you in this way. what's interesting about this work is that... i've gotten split reactions from people on which of ckofntac's two girls were their favorite. some people found that sunny was the more compelling and thoughtful character, and some found that it was anita. i love that you mentioned that anita doesn't allow herself that interiority and humanity that sunny gets. i did write her as someone who was uncomfortable with showing off the human sides of herself (for fear of punishment), though i do wish i could've expanded more of her on her own aside from the little fragments we get in her phonecalls and the ending. (i feel the same about sunny too, actually... if i had more than 6 weeks to make all of this i would've gone and addressed those issues XC )
once again, thanks for reading!
