I know that from an objective standpoint the chapter completely wasting time and not moving the plot forward whatsoever is worse than the Suselle stuff but I just can't help but fucking hate it.
Chair jokes aside I honestly felt that Suselle was forced but mostly inoffensive up until now, but at this point I genuinely cannot fucking stand these scenes. They're so unbelievably forced, the romance itself is Hallmark channel levels of schlocky trope-filled dogshit, and it seems to outright require Kris (the protagonist) to be completely absent or incapacitated for it to happen, and Susie (the deuteragonist) to act completely out of character and suddenly fall head over heels in the most blatant goo-goo eyes way possible despite being incredibly reserved and emotionally oblivious with every other character and in every other scene.
The relationship between Susie and Kris was the single most engaging part for me in this game, it was the heart and soul of the story on an emotional level, and now it feels like everything that made that relationship special is being ripped away and cheapened just so the worst fucking romance I've ever seen in a video game can be smeared across my screen for the 10th time.
The chapter ends with Susie essentially telling Kris that Noelle is just as important to her, if not more, than Kris is because awooga lesbeans she's my gf now lol you gotta deal with it.
Every moment, big and small, that was just between Susie and Kris was straight up co-opted by Noelle in this chapter. All of them.
The diner, the piano, the beach, the dark worlds. There is nothing that's just for Susie and Kris anymore. Kris is now the third wheel in his own fucking friendship because this bitch-ass doe was horny.
