going through femc's playthrough with a friend has got me thinking about how both makoto and kotone are so similar and yet so different
im not good with this word shit so bare with me
makoto is apathetic, he comes off as blunt, standoffish, aloof, can even be an asshole depending on the situation. but as the story progresses he opens up more, not enough for people on the outside to notice, but to his friends he seems, softer is the word i would go with. he still speaks bluntly but his tone doesn't come off as dismissive or rude. i imagine he also speaks louder then he used to.
kotone however comes off as the nicest person you've ever met, to the point it's uncanny. she's got the customer service voice where she wants to come off as nice as possible, she's going to get a good grade in socializing. seeing a lot of the dialogue choices shows that she does have a mean streak and can even be aggressive or violent. i've noticed it comes out mainly when someone she cares about is in danger or being hurt. it makes me think after awhile she drops the customer service voice around her friends and speaks in her normal tone of voice, which is probably lower.
i just love thinking about how these two reflect each other, the Characters <3
