Note: Mental health trigger warning. I have not played the latest Patreon build from October 31st yet, but I'd still like to debate the revised "Captured" ending in regards to Colin...

Which among you could tell me with a straight face that this is a positive ending for the parties involved? And I don't care about the gender differences nor changes either. Even if it means Colin's been hypnotized by Doctor K's modified serum to make protagonist a mere pet to the scientist, I find it likely for Colin to bear sorrowful thoughts behind whatever smile they might have while under their new master's authority.

The smug aura Doctor K had in Classic Changed is still there given the lack of added and/or altered emotion portraits, and it's impossible not to consider the scientist a possible emotional manipulator (which he is a bit less of in the Special Edition?). Doctor K does the things they do to Colin because the scientist doesn't want debates nor potentially getting talked back with their viewpoints, and if Colin still has memories left while keeping shut about them then (s)he's bound to be a bit depressed offscreen, crying a fair bit as far as we are concerned… Who knows how damp his/her face might be, given (s)he is stripped of much individuality but secretly has enough to know this isn't a happy future, and needing to wipe their sorrows away many times?
