"Vinh can't be with Max (or Reggie) because he is still in love with Safi" is a misinterpretation of what the game actually stating.

This whole scene is about Vinh coming to the conclusion that what he has with Safi is over and there are no feelings there.

And as we can see here, it says he "was" in love, in the past tense, so he isn't anymore...

Which for me already defeats the argument, BUT THEN he doubles down with the dialogue saying "or I thought I was". Meaning that maybe it wasn't even really love in the first place.

The theme of DE is about moving on from the past and trauma and all the characters have a bit of that in their arc.

For Vinh, it's finally realizing that his thing with Safi was one-sided and having to let it go. And Max's line "maybe you should focus on what's in front of you" with him agreeing means exactly that.

By the end, whatever that feeling was, he is ready to move on from it.

Do you have a favorite story/fanfiction that you've written that you would love to see as a physical book? Or would you just love all of them to be physical books? I think mine would be Our Home but also I feel my fanfics are short enough I could get away with a collection.

In theory I would love to have "A Beautiful Antibiosis" or "A Twisted Fate" as a physical book. In practise however, I think it would make me really uncomfortable seeing it, knowing that the world and characters aren't my own creation.

If I ever managed to have a physical book of my work, I'd want it to be of a story that's completely mine. It's not like I'm lacking ideas. I've got at least three that would be sophisticated enough to actually fill a book. I'm just lacking motivation to work on them... and two or three plot points to lead the story from point A to B. ^^"

Trying to organize my ask notebook better since I've run out of space under general fandom asks and I would like to know what fandoms you are in so I can ask the correct people about the correct fandoms.

I think my main ones are Bagginshield/The Hobbit, Sherlock/Johnlock, Dragon Age Inquisition, {Pippin/Faramir Merry/Eowyn}/The Lord of the Rings and I dip my toes in a few that I currently can't remember but ones I don't engage in canon at all are Good Omens but only for Crowley/Azirapheal ship, Stranger Things but only for Steve/Eddie ship, The Witcher but only for Geralt/Jaskier things and Ladybug and Cat Noir but only for Adrinette .

Also do you like getting asks that are or include story ideas or snippets?

*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer within a certain amount of time or at all.

Oh, that really depends, where my interests shifted towards. Mainly I can't keep up with more than two or three fandoms simultaneously. There are lots of fandoms that I enjoy, but don't engage in right now. For example The Lord of the Rings, Supernatural, Sherlock, Stranger Things even Star Wars, X-Men and such. I've become a little reluctant about The Hobbit, because despite being very active in the fandom for several years, those years were not good mental health-wise, which is why I don't try to interact anymore and even contemplate orphaning all my works, I'm just still a little attached to some of those stories, but maybe one day I can do a clean break. ^^"

Right now I'm mostly reading and writing for the JJK fandom, but I always go back to franchises like Digimon, because I loved it growing up and I still admire it because it tackles matures themes. I'm also hopping around in fandoms of video games, like Final Fantasy 7 or 16 and currently Life is Strange is very high on my list again, due to the new game. And don't let me get started on books like the Hunger Games series or Inkworld. I'm very versitale when it comes to fandoms.

I usually don't only enage in a fandom for a ship, because what draws me to a fandom is the world and it's characters. Of course I still have my favs, but I'm kinda here for the package deal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I totally like asks that include story ideas or snippets. I'm just lacking the mental capacity to tackle them sometimes. ^^"

One thing I like about Max / Vinh's dynamic is that they both have a past and carry a weight on their shoulders, and all the grief...

So Max ends up feeling down on one side, Vinh in a bad mood on the other. And suddenly they just decide to "be depressed" together...

And then, this happens:

They are so good at bringing out the best in each other and lightening the vibes.

It warms my heart every time I watch their scenes 🥺

"Good luck, have fun."

At risk of being attacked over this new very hate/very rare pair.

I have to say that these two scenes in Chapter 5 suggest that both Max and Vinh (if the player chooses to romance him) want to continue seeing each other after the end of the game.

And while Amanda asked for some time because Max's powers might be too much for her (understandable after everything).

Vinh doesn't seem to care at all. They even hugged when they met and he's still pretty much into her as if nothing had happened.

It reminds me of Chloe's letter that says she hopes Max finds someone she doesn't have to "rewind for" - aka use powers to make the relationship work - and that ending kind of hints that it's Vinh 😳
