   Summary

   Realistic slow burn, with earned intimacy:

   Beginning four months after the events of the game (after a near-Perfect Ending), Laura, acquitted with the others of the Hackett Quarry carnage, is struggling with the psychological and emotional fallout of everything she went through last summer while the others are starting to move on. There's only one other person in the world who understands what she went through, because he put her through most of it. Would seeing him again do more harm than good?
