Part 4/11:
What struck me the most was the cast of characters, particularly Catherine Portillo. The game introduces her as Mark's best friend—optimistic, supportive, and bursting with an infectious joy. The chemistry between Mark and Catherine is palpable and serves as the emotional anchor of the story. However, her character arc navigates serious themes of self-worth and the fear of being left behind, something that deeply resonated with my own experiences.
Cathy serves as more than just a friend; she is a reflection of my own struggles with inadequacy and yearning for validation. Her journey mirrors my feelings as I watched my friends thrive in their endeavors while I felt stuck in the void of uncertainty.
