Armand x Nicolas (66): "what if we despised each other and I stole your man but he left us both so we were stuck together and had hatesex while we waited for him to come back (he never did) and I chopped your hands off homoerotically and psychologically tormented you until you offed yourself. but the hatesex was nice at least 😳"

Katriana (19): "A classic enemies to lovers dynamic, though I interpret it as one-sided enemies. Emiliana convinces herself that she has to be Katrielle’s rival, due to the different ways they approach cases (Katrielle mostly goes on gut instincts while Emiliana prides herself on her profiling skills and data collecting); however Katrielle just seems to be going along with it. Throughout the game, Katrielle teases Emiliana, which flusters and confuses Emiliana. As the game goes on, Emiliana will eventually tease back. Also, in one of the game’s later episodes, Emiliana purposefully throws others off of Katrielle’s trail, giving Katrielle the chance to figure things out herself. Based on the profile Emiliana made for Katrielle, she knew where Katrielle would go, so she could have pointed everyone to her. She chose not to."

With me having finished my nth playthrough of Lost Future, it's a good time to share this painting I have been gatekeeping since 2020 from the illustration contest held by Level 5 for the 10th anniversary of the game!
