OMORI is such a fascinating game when it comes to its character dynamics, especially with Aubrey. She's got this tough exterior, but deep down, she's really vulnerable. The game drops hints about her feelings, especially in the 'real world' segments where she interacts with Sunny. There's this subtle tension—like when she hesitates before lashing out or how she sometimes softens around him.
But here's the thing: OMORI isn't a straightforward romance. It's more about unresolved emotions and childhood bonds. Aubrey's behavior could be read as a crush, but it might also just be nostalgia or guilt. The game leaves it ambiguous, which I love because it makes her feel more real. That complexity is why she's one of my favorite characters.
