These past few pillstreams, seeing Ralph get all sorrowful and nostalgic, idolizing his exes, even though he always would inevitably go full BPD Demon on them and declare his undying hatred of them, only to now talk like they were the greatest thing that ever happened to him reminds me of one of the final scenes in Disco Elysium. Where your character falls asleep and dreams of his ex-wife, who they've basically in their own alcohol induced amnesia has now idealized as a perfect being, reminds your character of how they've moved on with their life, are happier and how you are now suffering in your own personal hell is the perfect metaphor for Ethan Ralphs life. I wouldn't be shocked if most of his dreams are some version of this.
Even if you've never played this game or understand the in-game references, some of these dialogue options and the harsh truths in here remind me so much of Ralph and how sad, washed up and pathetic he is and how hes truly in the hell of his own creation.
