[is she really still coughing ?]

there’s something so gutwrenching about the fact that the female characters in obsession have real dreams and wishes but never get the chance to see them realized, while both male characters waste their wishes on short-term selfish satisfaction. they were complex, free-spirited young women who just wanted to create art, and they were destroyed by a man determined to confine them to his superficial perception of them. nikki wanted to be a writer, sarah wanted to be an tattoo artist and now neither of them will get to be anything at all

Oh wait thinking about it though, Alyx being dead silent while Gordon is the main talker and doing all the interactable actions for her is a fun opposite to how things would be in actual Half Life 2
