It's great. In Japanese it was a choice between sentences with different gendered first-person pronouns, which English doesn't have, and I can just feel the translator flailing
interesting to know that it was a lot... i dunno, less weird feeling in the original language. i remember starting that game and realizing immediately what the dialogue choices were supposed to represent and just going ugh internally
