You would think the second time it would be easier to choose between Ominis and Sebastian but I'm flicking my cursor between choices so often on Sebastian's quests like what do I say? I wanted to be a bit more pro dark magic but I can't go against Ominis too much.
Because I get him so fucking much. He is so traumatized and he's trying to save Sebastian from the darkness, from the darkness he was forced to let in. Because he can't let it in and if Sebastian goes down that path, he has no choice but to let him go. And it will kill him. Kill him every damn day.
And so yes, I told Sebastian to take the relic and ignore the warnings. But the second Ominis asked me to talk Sebastian down, I was torn(Also cause I know there's a route that leads to you incedioing Ominis so he can allow Sebastian to take the relic but morally not allow so it saves their friendship and*) and I felt hollow and torn into two in the Scriptorium with Ominis terrified and Sebastian excited.
Because IRL Ominis is 100% right. But Sebastian has that fictional pull. And so does Ominis. And I love it. I love them. I think part of it is that I'm a very cozy gamer so this kind of decision making in games is very new to me. Like Sims 4 doesn't have this(I should make them in there though...)
*god damn is that something I want to explore in writing, the results of Ominis agreeing to allow the relic to be taken if he's under a curse to be Sebastian a free pass and Sebastian watching his best friend be cursed for him and MC watching the strain and all that shit.
