In a nutshell, there’s this whole chain of optional events you can do where the protagonist’s dog has repeated confrontations with another dog. Each meeting is accompanied by narration successively chronicling a convoluted history of adventure and betrayal between them.

If you follow the story through all the way to the end, however, it’s revealed that the narration is literally just your party members standing off-screen and narrating the encounters out loud, and that they’re just making stuff up as they go along - you really have no idea why this creepy old dog keeps showing up wherever your party goes, nor why the protagonist’s dog seems to dislike them.

I WOULD HONESTLY RATHER DIE
