When Sadie visits Sam in the children's room, she gets interested in what he watches, which slowly starts to create a bond between them that later becomes a long-term relationship in their professional careers in the gaming industry.
Unfair Games Company
The naming of the company 'Unfair Games' is symbolic of representing Sadie and Sam's fierce disagreements. Besides sharing their passion for designing games, Sadie and Sam do not agree on everything because they have different tastes and preferences on how a game's final product should look. For instance, Sadie wants the games to be artful and full of beauty and complexity. However, Sam wants the games to be easy and entertaining. However, at last, they always agree.
The symbolism of community service
The author figuratively uses the character Sadie to represent service to humanity. After Sam loses his mother in the grisly road accident, he sustains leg injuries and is taken to a hospital. Sam is sad and lost in thoughts, but everything else changes as he interacts with Sadie. Sadie comforts Sam regularly as part of her community service to humanity. Sadie does not get tired of comforting Sam and encouraging him to move. Therefore, Sadie plays a critical role in shaping Sam's life through her community service.
