idea behind player / dr. gonne is less of a romance and more of a hypothetical situation as the loop falls deeper into itself that things start to break and information not originally available to the event the player is nailed to leaks through. its a psychological decay and infatuation with the idea of of choice that the player projects onto dr. gonne.
it was your choice to cease to exist, you had the agency to make that decision to begin with. i envy you, in the deepest dark parts of my mind. i wish i had any sense of autonomy but that's fate.
though in hypothetical interaction, with the player having idealized and been infatuated with the idea that dr gonne represents, it is sort of like .. being dunked in cold water, dr gonne while smart is also just a guy. in the player's mind, they are almost ethereal to him due to how deeply they desire to have a sense of choice.
in a sweeter sense, they are both socially awkward or regarded oddly. dr gonne due to being a bit chipped away at by jeb and dr crackpot's bickering and antics AS WELL as director phobos's massive ego. the player is awkward due to a strenuous amount of loops to have gone through that social interaction even with people that were part of the loop is odd because they flicker in and out as people. the player has a difficult time perceiving people as people so whe confronted by someone real they get weird.
between them, the player is refreshing to dr gonne due to how honest their curiosity is but that curiosity can still be an annoyance. to dr gonne, they feel like a woeful curious intern when they ask so much about what they're doing or why. if anything, dr gonne can be pleasant and the player is someone they can be pleasant towards. your definition of pleasant may differ from theirs.
