Can you protect those you love, without losing too much of yourself?

I've really been enjoying the demos in @studioephua.bsky.social's Choose Wisely Festival this week. So far, Dispatch and @okno-studio.bsky.social's Deep Pixel Melancholy are the ones that stand out to me as doing something interesting with the narrative/branching path format.
