After a short moment of suspense, Olivia surprises Inco, and all the other characters, by ''rising from her chair,'' using her tail for support, and the duo dance for a while. While her newfound ambulatory capabilities don't last past the scene, since her tail is tired, the two share an embrace, and a joyful laugh, as Damien and Inco help her back down.]]

Not the case at all.


* SecretlyDying: On multiple occasions in the demo, Olivia talks about how she "won't be around for long", which Inco always brushes off as her meaning that she will literally not be in town or school for long. The game is currently not out at the time of this being written, but she could be implying that she's dying, and that it's the reason why she's in a wheelchair.
