I said more commentary later, so guess what it's time for! It's time for Raven's backstory novel, Empty Mask (summary version), accompanied by my very own elaborate color commentary! Feel free to follow along. Warning: this is long, even though it's a summary to start with and I'm only copy-pasting sections of it

Kyaa kyaa Canary!

...what is up with Tales games and self-hating characters who attempt to commit suicide via protagonist?

Hey now, sometimes it's the protagonist doing the suiciding!

Luke's kind of a 2 for 1 deal that way.

It is kind of a theme.

...Admittedly I think it's a lot more rational to try to get Yuri to kill you than any of the other Tales protagonists.
