Separate Lies

The audience experiences a profound sense of sadness and melancholy stemming from the tragic death and the subsequent unraveling of relationships due to deceit. High anxiety and empathy are generated as James navigates the complex web of lies and betrayal, while guilt and anger underscore the moral compromises made by the characters. The 'romance' aspect primarily contributes to the drama and the disturbing revelations rather than traditional joy or love, leading to a pervasive sense of unease and curiosity.
