'a friend' is a mysterious entity that texts the player through Trollmail throughout the game.
Description[]
All of 'a friend's text messages are in spelt lower caps so none of his messages are properly capitalized. The identity of "a friend" is revealed to be The Angel of Chaos later in the good ending path.

Notes[]
- 'A Friend' will not message you again if you already have all his texts which would most likely be the case if you have cleared the game once since all his texts are obtained through the story path.
