I think the interesting thing about the protagonists of Pathalogic I haven't seen anyone discuss is: you never actually get to see their best selves. Like, who they are in perfect (or at least normal) conditions, when they aren't under massive amounts of stress influencing their personalities. At the start of the game, it's immediately the worst day of their lives - haruspex and changeling abruptly find out people are accusing them of things they didn't do, bachelor finds out the one guy who might save his whole life's work died a day before he got here, and all are saddled with a bunch of responsibilities and expectations, AND they're all hangry. You ever been yourself when you're hangry? No.
#This goes particularly for daniil being a prickly prick. Like I DO think that is at least a little bit part of his character but#I think it gets dialed up under stress#And it doesn't help that he isn't as familiar with how the town works as the other two so everyone is speaking in riddles#So basically we need to give daniil a snickers
