at the very beginning , like when the texts begin, if you scroll up a bit (as much as is possible) you can see that the player tells the friend that after he does his vocab he'd be free to hang out. So (even though I too at first thought it was a sinister thing) its just the friend telling you to hurry up and finish your homework so you can go hang out.

I'm going to go ahead and guess there is no "good ending" ?
Played it through the first time, answered it honestly. And by that I mean, choosing exactly what I'm going through and not surprised at the story as it's..yeah what I'm going through. Cried before the ending.
Played through second time, still answering honestly, but trying to beat the ending sequence. Still crying.
Played through third time. Answered differently and less honestly. Still lined up with how I'm feeling. Can't figure out ending. Not crying anymore, just angry.
I must have played it through 6 or 7 times, trying every outcome (the damn Fish thing hurt too). I tried every option, and clicked quick enough. If there's a good ending, then I can't find it. I don't know if that was the intention, that there isn't one, but if it is, the message isn't very positive. Then again, you did put a trigger warning. I liked it, even if I did feel worse, then angry, then a little better as I was determined to get a different outcome. (If only I could feel that way about real life), and then ultimately defeated. I wouldn't recommend it to someone like me or someone easily triggered, or going through this. I'd recommend it to people who haven't, and I can see it as a way to show how cruel depression, anxiety and that voice in your head putting you down can really be. Or, how it might be easy to pick the better choices, but it doesn't change the person inside you putting yourself down and the fact that if you need help, the best thing to do is to reach out and talk about it.
