The game left them in a kind of strange place though. We don't get any of their romantic relationship except for what Godot straight out says about the two of them, but I never got any sense of chemistry between them. I mean, the only interaction the player gets to see is 3-4, where they don't really know each other and Mia hardly seem to even like Diego. And when she's channeling Pearl in 3-5 it's hardly a heartfelt reunion when he notices her either. Surely their story is tragic but I don't feel it.

I kind of agree. While Diego's alter-ego "Godot" was entertaining and a well-developed antagonist, I honestly never felt invested in his relationship with Mia. I found Diego pretty dislikable and not exactly the sort of man I have previously thought Mia would be involved in. Undeniably she grew between the age of twenty-three to when she died, but I have to admit that I thought less of Mia for having been involved with a man like that. Perhaps it's the repressed feminist in me but I cringe at some of the misogynistic trite that came from Godot.

I like him as a character but in terms of his relationship with Mia, I couldn't care less. They lacked chemistry and frankly I think Diego was lucky that Mia didn't just deck him for half to nonsense he came out with when they were at the bench together.
