....she got blasted by something nebulous, got her new heart+1 (was that an injury that happened on the field? or a deliberate medical experiment while she was in the hospital for more mundane wound care? magic 8 ball is uncertain but it starts off like it just sort of happened to you (shards of something got embedded) but after the Zayne conversion over Grandma's box... hang on, I should strip this out and move this somewhere else)

This is kind of the good stuff.

I'll be honest, the writing isn't THAT good in this game, but its leaps, bounds and several more bounds beyond what I was expecting so five gold stars to Infold for exceeding my (possibly too low?) expectations.

The implication, or at least the implication that I got, at the start was that you were injured during the arrival of the Wanderers, that shards of something got embedded into your heart (which, go us for surviving damage to the left ventrical long enough for somebody with a high tech bandage to show up) and now you're just on followup care, and Zayne is unimpressed by your life choices.

Now, after The Bomb Event Centered On Your House, Grandma may or may not have been involved in unethical medical research, Zayne may or may not have been involved at the time but possibly was pulled into it to BE your medical advisor (timelines and relative ages of everybody involved are hazy) -- holy shit, it just occured to me, did Zayne specifically get his doctorate in a cardiac field BECAUSE of you??? - and maybe They™ grabbed you off the streets at the time of the original injury and decided you were a perfect candidate for said unethical research?

Not much is clear at this point, its all super hazy, but there's just enough going on in the main story and in some of the side pieces I've got access to to wonder if I should be grilling Zayne with a truth serum in his sleep.
