Augustine and winnie

Augustine: At the onset of the game, Augustine grapples with self-doubt concerning his friendship with Winnie, particularly stemming from a prolonged hiatus in their connection following the incident where Winnie broke his leg. In his childhood, Augustine exuded brightness and cheerfulness, marked by a straightforward expression of his opinions about people. Notably, he insulted Winnie during their initial meeting as children, expressing a preference for forming friendships on his own terms rather than being coerced by parental influence.As Augustine matures, a discernible shift occurs, revealing a more embittered attitude toward Winnie. He approaches the situation with heightened seriousness, prone to abrupt outbursts of yelling and possessing a distinct sense of reality that differs from Winnie's perspective. Augustine displays moments of coldness, acts with occasional paranoia concerning Winnie's opinion of him, and experiences vivid hallucinations, particularly envisioning Winnie as hostile—a likely manifestation of his concealed animosity. Overall, Augustine emerges as the more somber of the two, driven by insecurities and a relentless quest for answers.

winnie: As a child, Winnie was shown to be incredibly shy, timid, and wary of others and their actions, particularly when a younger Augustine approached him. Nevertheless, with Augustine's words of encouragement, Winnie drew inspiration from Augustine's attitude, gradually adopting similar traits during his early years.As Winnie grew older, he displayed obvious similarities to the younger Augustine - bubbly, cheerful and optimistic. Winnie often approached situations with a lighthearted perspective, not taking them as seriously as Augustine did, as seen when he built a snowman during a blizzard while Augustine focused on looking for useful items in the car. Despite this carefree attitude, Winnie demonstrates a keen analytical ability, making deductions about their surroundings, such as sudden clothing changes and peculiar settings. Additionally, Winnie consistently prioritized Augustine's needs over his own, refusing to burden Augustine when offered to carry him due to Winnie being unable to handle the cold of the blizzard. As the narrative unfolds towards the conclusion in the good route, Winnie is shown to be very understanding of Augustine, and open minded to what he tells him.Though not included in the game, the creator has stated that Winnie doesn't understand boundaries, he would make jokes or share information about Augustine that he would feel too personal about, he doesn't do it on purpose as he simply believe that is just what close friends do, not realising how he had hurt him.

Augustine and Winnie have always been together their whole childhood. Ever since elementary school up until now, when they have graduated high school. They were inseparable. But now that Winnie got accepted to his university, he is soon leaving town. The two decide to spend their last day together before his move. Not long after they hopped into Winnie's car, they suddenly find themselves trapped in a freezing blizzard. ... It's currently July.

At an unspecified time where both Winnie and Augustine were children, Winnie relocated to the house adjacent to Augustine's residence on a chilly winter day. A few days after the move, Winnie's mother initiated a conversation with Augustine's mother. During their discussion, Winnie's mother noticed Augustine hiding behind his own mother. It was then suggested that Augustine approach Winnie, who had been avoiding interaction since his recent move. Initially resistant to open the door, Winnie eventually relented. Augustine approached a visibly upset Winnie, who expressed his distress over leaving all his friends behind at his previous home. Feeling alone and apprehensive about making new friends, Winnie opened up to Augustine. In response, Augustine encouraged him to persevere, maintain optimism, and work hard in life. Following their initial encounter, the two became inseparable, spending the majority of their time together over the years.

As time progressed, it was revealed that during their last winter conversation, Winnie had fallen down a flight of stairs, breaking his leg. Winnie acknowledged that Augustine wasn't responsible for his fall, but he noted that Augustine was close enough to prevent it if he had chosen to intervene. Despite Augustine's departure from the scene, someone else had called for help for Winnie. This incident introduced the first strains in Winnie and Augustine's friendship. The two ceased communication for several months, with Winnie harboring paranoia that Augustine "hated" him, while Augustine remained unaware of Winnie's true sentiments.

The next revelation was Winnie's impending move due to acceptance into the university they both applied to, a success Augustine did not share. Moreover, Winnie's parents' workplace was closer to the new location. During a brief car ride together, an argument ensued, leading them to be unexpectedly caught in a blizzard despite it being summer. This marks the commencement of the main events in Cold Front.
