It’s overall sad, or gives me very emo vibes at least (like early 20s, in my feelings and loving it kind of vibes), and I loved it. 

Story summary for myself

Sadie and Sam grow up together in their youth and seem to separate around high school/early college - for 6 years. They come back together as young adults and begin to make games together. Both of them are a little bit shit, broken in some ways. Then there’s Marks who is the best of them but also Sam calls him boring/an NPC. He loves them both but ends up having a baby with Sadie. The chapter (or chapters?) in which Marks is shot is told from his PoV when Sam and Sadie are out doing press tour for their new game. I don’t know how Marks knew what to do and how to stay calm in that type of situation.  Until that point I was definitely ambivalent about him as a character but after that I really felt like he was the glue that held everything together without anyone even realizing it. Is that the kind of person I want to be?
