Quiero Matarte

I'm reminded of the memes about your average BL story ("b-but, we're both boys!") versus WLW/yuri stories ("i will kill us both before I admit my feelings to myself").

This story is dramatic and very emotional -- the set-up and the three branching endings are very affecting and even verge on the gothic in all the best ways. Some of the branching bits of exposition were less effective, which was unfortunately undergirded by the frequent lines referencing how the digressions weren't relevant to the task at hand as the protagonists brought themselves back to the reality of the scene. I understand from the author's notes that some of these worldbuilding details are meant to tie the story back to a larger shared universe, but here they mostly diluted the very intense conflict at the heart of the story.

That said, the story is a riveting bit of drama. I played through all 3 endings beginning with the most grotesque and tragic and then moving to the happy ending, which I would recommend to other readers (it will be obvious which ending is the worst outcome for the characters).

Some visual styling, music, and more interactive elements would be a great addition to this piece, but I appreciate that the author mentioned being new to Twine. I look forward to seeing other works as the author continues their Twine learning journey!
