or maybe 'straightforwardly' isnt the right word? whatever point is i kind of agree it's kind of weird how it literally just Has A Dead Person instead of ex. making a fake case more distanced from reality and think the insistence that nooo actually she's not THAT based on her is also kind of silly when the specific case was clearly the character's main inspiration. (at the same time i also think it's silly when people act like she's meant as a Romantic OC or something when alex having a deeply unhealthy obsession with the case which ruins his life and drives everyone he knows away is quite literally the main theme of the game - the only reason it seems reasonable at all at any point is because the entirety of the main campaign is seen through alex's very limited, very biased perspective.)
