"core_emotion": "longing",
"goal_meaning": "Reaching a point of genuine communication and understanding.",
"journey_metaphor": "The struggle to bridge the distance created by unspoken words.",
"completion_revelation": "Sometimes, the most meaningful connections are forged not through endless texts, but through vulnerable, face-to-face interaction.",
"sprite_selection_reasoning": "panel_13 shows a heart character with legs and a body. Panel_14, Panel_15, Panel_20, Panel_21 and Panel_22 depict various messaging-related platforms. Panel_0, panel_5 and panel_9 are small, suitable for collectibles. The running sprites are shown in Row 0. Therefore, I chose Row 4 wide panels for the platforms, Row 1 and 2 for collectables, and panel_13 for the player. I chose panel_16 for the goal sprite because it's a large heart, signifying a resolution to the emotional conflict."
