First off - weird damned english spelling of his name. My guess is that if they went with Raphael, internet searches would start pulling up turtles and actually dead painters.

SO

As of time of this post, I have been playing LaDS for about a week+ and I'm currently stalled on the end of the chapter where Rafe takes you on a canoe, gets seasick, we both got swamped by a sea monster and I nearly drowned because maybe I can't swim? I looked like I was doing okay there for a hot second and then I just started sinking.

HOLY SHIT.

I managed, in the heat (wet?) of the moment to tap the STOP button a bunch and took some pretty excellent screenshots if I do say so myself. I shall embed below if I can figure out how to embed.

     

(embed process figured out - I've configured image attachments to display as thumbnails inside the post natively, and it has a link to properly put them in as well if needed. can't seem to get the auto-sizing to adjust, not sure where that's hiding in the configuration files.)

I should have probably known, honestly. But for some reason I was not expecting the guy to be.. not a guy at all?? And the four seconds just prior to these images, where it sounds like I made a pretty mer-boy a promise and then completely failed to keep it? DID I FORGET???

Oh, my *heart*.

Yes it took a while to get used to his name, but I like how it references art and a whole bunch of very interesting biblical symbolism. And turtles.

Chapter 7 I LOVE that chapter. MC and Raf together are so chaotic, they always end up in a mess.
MC can swim but she was far away from the surface, with a whole Wanderer between her and oxygen, and she faints because she can't breathe.
"You forgot everything, yet you still insist"
How much did she actually forget? What did she do to him? Stay tuned for the next episode.
(also, immaculate screenshots. I can't get over how beautiful he is)
Btw, Chapter 7 and start of chap 8 have so much on Raf. It's so incredibly packed with important info and clues, definitely remember to go back to it in the future because hindsight will be 10/10.

As of now we know that he's a bratty, sassy, awfully pretty boy. Scared of cats? A bit moody, a bit angsty. A whole merman. Who gets seasick lmao
I'm obsessed with him. Want a bit of advice? Don't trust anything he says, and at the same time, believe every single one of his lies. That boy will first make sure you think he's joking, cry wolf enough times that you roll your eyes, and then will tell the truth fully knowing that you won't believe him.
