>>15837This is embarrassing, but I thought 'cookie-cutter' meant 'heartbreaking', 'creating division', or something like that. Turns out it means something like a repetition? Shouldn't have used that expression then.
I've played both Cross and Trigger. It's as you said, but it's also how they canonically made tragic consequences out of the events happening in Trigger, which some people didn't really take kindly. Some even went as far as saying that Cross was like fanfiction tier. Maybe you already know all of this, though.
