I, too, was deeply saddened by the loss of Jesse! But I think I was equally upset by Mel's murder as it happened, even before we spent any time with her in the Abby section, so that entire stretch of story was just bleak.
This game is pretty unforgiving with how dark it is, I'm finding; there's an unrelenting sourness to it that makes it hard for me to play if I'm not in the right mood. It's also a delight in other ways, though - like making me kill all these dogs, showing me Maybe Alice's dog bed and bowl right after I stabbed her to death, and then letting me play catch with Bear. I love dogs so this is a microcosm of the whole emotional rollercoaster that this game has been.
That said, I'm warming to Abby very quickly. I don't know if this is the story I want for these characters, but I am enjoying spending time with them, if that makes sense.
