The game spends a lot of time and writing investing in the relationship between the player character and Delilah, a woman staffing another firewatch tower. At the end they both have to evacuate due to a growing wildfire, and never actually meet. Delilah is wracked by guilt over past actions, the player character is only staffing a tower because he's running from his responsibilities (wife with early onset dementia). Their trauma bonding over the radio was never going to develop into something more because they couldn't keep running from their lives
