Ok I hate to be negative about a project I do enjoy but this is really bothering me:

Zach (and the writers) are actually being an ass to Ben here in my opinion, the most glaring point being the idea Ben didn't give Russell a chance my counterpoint to this is Ben asked Russell about the accusations when the two of them were alone, he didn't assume they were true or make a scene about it in front of the group also if Russell was guilty Ben put himself in massive danger asking him about it.

Second point: Ben is trying to keep contact while Russell is trying to shut it down, during the argument at the valley Ben answers Russell's questioning honestly and without judgement while Russell refuses to answer Ben's questions and begins accusing Ben of being against him, after this argument Russell avoids Ben and straight up tells Ben "don't talk to me" meanwhile Ben has only one case of shutting communication and that one depends on the player's choice so it can be avoided.

Final point is the idea that Ben should have known that Russell wouldn't do that, my response to that idea is he had known Russell for ONE WEEK at the point they fell out, that is barely long enough to consider someone an acquaintance never mind knowing their moral framework.

Long story short: You are telling us, through Zach, Ben is judgemental ass when your writing actually shows the opposite in my opinion.

my guy i really need to hear Katie's side of the story here, dunno im still kinda uncomfortable

I loved October 3rd so much! This is too wholesome (minus the realization that Ben and Russel had in regards to Katie). It's hard not to spoil what happened, man I want to see how things will work out between Ben and Russel from here, this was so good

Russell is best friendo (at least, I hope he turns out that way).

Good to see Russell again TwT
