mildly glad i was hit with it while watching someone play and they just moved right past it bc idk if it would have been good (?) if i were playing myself (????)

it's so minor it's just one line but it IS the kind of shit i hate - thankfully it's played more straight than a joke given, like, vivian's Entire Fucking Arc but goddamn
