>I was debating including such lines that were inspired by the way people view these characters in this comic, in fact it was more of a last-minute thing.
>I chose to include it because otherwise you'd just think this was tails as there's no indication it might be someone else.
>And I do want people to view them as individual people instead of those familiar characters they already understand.
>The idea of not understanding Alan, or who this "tails" is, was something I wanted to get across.
>I didn't want to explain it so clearly mind you, as that would be more unnatural than the way I did include it, but nonetheless it's the implications and vagueness that I feel carry you to conclusions that are unpleasant.
>I want to clarify that it's not meant hold the player at fault, Alan is thinking of the many comments he's heard from players based on how they react to his predicament.
>He's frustrated with how helpless he really is, and in his mind, he's venting his frustration impulsively
>The player is not at fault in my opinion; people are just curious and don't really understand because of the way X presents it.
>To us it's easy to take a step back and disconnect from it all, until we can't.
>Later on, it evolves. We do understand and yet we still enable it.
>It's not as though X ever hid anything; in fact, I feel his crude appeal is what makes us enable him. We're curious and want to see what he does next, so long as we're not directly at harm.
>And he understands that much earlier than we do, and he uses that to trap us.
>It's very fun to myself, and I feel I can make that clear without spoiling what else I have planned.
