I've seen it in some other reviews and i just don't understand how some people can say with a straight face "KEL turned me gay". Seriously? I mean, i guess they're not saying it with a straight face, per se, but BASIL is far superior. It's in the name! BASIL has half the levenshtein distance from "BASED" than KEL does. That logically means BASIL is twice as BASED. I have no emotional connection to KEL, but i would die for BASIL. Anything for his well-being.

Every day i stab myself in the chest just so i can wake up and spend time with BASIL again. The days pass and my time in this world is limited. The only thing that stops me from constantly fearing his death is that damn flower. The White Egret Orchid. It puts my mind at ease, knowing i can never truly lose him. can i?

I have become so emotionally attached to this character in my first 24 hours playing this game, and in the days that followed the bond only grew stronger. I want nothing more than for BASIL to be safe and sound, happy as can be.

When i first heard the news of what happened to MARI i didn't even flinch because i knew BASIL was just fine. That flower was nice though, as it reminded me of BASIL. god i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love basil 🤤

I have faced all my fears. I swam in the ocean and overcame my crippling aquaphobia. I climbed to the moon despite intense acrophobia. I went into a spider nest with overwhelming arachnophobia. All this, i did it for BASIL. I ate ramen from a toilet.

I befriended a freaking planet and watered BASIL's flowers uncountably many times. I overcame the mortal concept of lungs and CHEATED DEATH ITSELF. I did not succumb, because i know BASIL is out there somewhere, AND I WILL FIND HIM. Oh my dear BASIL, wherever could you be?

When explaining this to my friends and strangers, i have gotten a variety of reactions from "Are you okay?" to "Are you biologically gay?". The answer to both of these is that i don't know. But i sure hope BASIL is both. One person even called my words here on this page psychotic. Hahahaha...

After all, BASIL is my best friend, right? That's more than just friends. Best friends kill together, and best friends die together. We hunt together, and we suffer together. But then what? When death does us apart, what will i do? The flower. "My thoughts will follow you into your dreams". Don't be scared. Death is... inevitable. right? i don't even know at this point.

BASIL is the best thing since sliced bread. Don't you dare tell me otherwise.

oh also i slept with BASIL near the end of the game. made me go very yes. 10/10 would smash again. 😩
