1. If you could change one life-changing event in the life of someone important to you, would you?
On the surface, this seems like an easy "yes." But still having Life is Strange fresh in mind, which has an entire sequence that shows that doing just such a thing could lead to unintended, and potentially severe, results, it'd acutally be much more of a situational answer.

2. Which do you think is easier to do, being friends for many years, or being life partners for many years?
Well, some of my friends have been friends for over 30 years, and I still haven't quite gotten the "life partners" part to work (came close, but not quite), I guess the former.

3. Have you ever walked away from someone you considered a friend?
Relationships, yes, but I dont think I have specificially with friends, although of course there have been some that have grown apart or lost touch, and childhood friends that moved away in the pre-internet days, never to be heard from again.

4. If you had to choose between telling the truth and hurting a friend or lying and making them happy, which would you choose?
This one might also be a bit situational, but generally speaking truth is probably best.

5. Which would you rather hear--the truth which will hurt, or the comforting lie?
Same.  Truth may suck, but in the grand scheme it's generally for the best.
