Overall, fun game, though some conceptual leaps seem a bit arbitrary.
Small text errors: "makes due" should be "makes do" (https://brians.wsu.edu/2016/05/24/make-due/), "where he legs used to be" should be "where her legs used to be", "facade" should be "façade", "alright" should be "all right" (https://brians.wsu.edu/2016/05/16/alright/), "swirls her cups, staring into its rippling waves" has a subject-verb mismatch, "old passion of mind" should be "...of mine", "it can steadfast" should be "it can be steadfast". There are also a few commas where there should be semicolons and vice versa. :)
Thank you. I appreciate the corrections.
