As the one who wrote 521, 522 and 632, I wanted to respond:
521 - I´ve looked through Blake´s route and I think I missremembered the markings on his chest mentioned on the doppleganger encounter, there was no mention of a scar, my apologies. (I still don´t get what the markings things is about, maybe language barrier or me being dense about about something in particular is to blame, but that´s absolutely on me).
522 - The options were "Let It Happen"/"Dive", personally I wasn´t sure what both meant regarding Joel´s actions, I guess "Dive with him" would have given me the hint I needed, but It may simply be me being a bit dense in the moment.
632 - It´s true, he has deep connections with Liam and Nia, I´ll give you that, but I still feel like most of the time he´s on screen, wether on his route or not, he´s just on the background being horny and scared. When other characters come into scene, they (not always) have been doing something related to what´s going on in the story or at least something, but when he appears It´s just like he came into existence at that moment with nothing behind the scenes. I want to clarify that I like Patrice a lot, maybe It´s just a sensation, but overall I feel like he´s not given enough love or he´s just too passive compared to all the other characters storywise. This is a subjective, personal opinion and not an absolute truth, It might just be that his scenes don´t resonate with me as much, hence why this feeling. This is not a criticism, just an observation I felt like sharing. He might as well be getting all the importance I feel missing in the N5, after all the story is far from the end.
I hope I´m not being dissrespectful or anything, I´m loving this VN more with each update, and I can´t wait to read the whole thing, keep up the great work!

I started this VN half a year ago, had to stop after two days, tried again tonight, and now I feel like I´ll be having nightmares.
Amaizing work, this hit me harder than any other anime, book or movie, altough at this rate I will never finish this game, I usually do all routes but I can´t even continue Leo´s route (my first) for more than two hours without feeling like I can´t breath.
