Mae served as a very important reference point for me in highschool. I can't wuite remember how exactly I came to the conclusion but one night while walking around it just struck me that she was "litterally me" and the notion still stands to this day. When I eventually replay the game this might change but in my head she's very similar. Loser with no major ambitions who just hangs around and does what her friends are doing. The idea of seeing "just shapes" didn't make sense to me when I played the game but it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense now. Same with looking at something (i.e the statue) and it feeling hostile. Only difference is that I'm toughing it out through college.
