In C, is Fang taking up music because she wants to, or because Anon wants her to want to?
If she reconnects with Rosa and Stella, it's because Anon wants them to.
She's... A hollow husk, afraid of being lonely, and eager to try and fit into any mold Anon wants her to.
There's still a spark though, and at the end scene, she's 20, 21? Plenty of time to blossom of course, there's just no guarantee she ever will shine as brightly as she could. I the ending even mentions a school teacher career at some point if I'm not mistaken.
For D, I too felt Trish's change a bit jarring, but having seen more of her in other paths... She's just a kid. She, too, has problems she needs to work through and the game could just as well have been about Anon and her. It's a shame we don't get to actually see much of the development, but I find it perfectly believable.
I'm 30 now, living in a fairly small community so I run into people from time to time during daily business. The bullies grow up, the manipulators grow up, the druggies grow up, the nerds grow up... The only people I still keep in touch with from those school days are a Trish-lite and a Reed, both having outgrown it.
