"though" and "though" usage

[StephanWells]

I'm proofreading a script for a visual novel, and the writer of this script uses "though" and "although" very often as linking words at the start of sentences. For example:

John: He was assigned the task of taking care of me.
John: Though, he wasn't very pleased to hear it.

or:

Tim: He said that he aced the exam.
Tim: Although, I sensed a bit of tension in his voice.

I know that technically it isn't grammatically correct, and I don't really agree entirely with it, but I've been turning a blind eye to it for a while now. I figured it might be an acceptable liberty to take for a script, similar to, say, starting a sentence with a conjunction.

Either way, I just wanted to get some more opinions on this. Is it an eyesore seeing "though" used like that?

The uses you cite here are neither particularly natural nor acceptable for formal/written usage.

'Though' (but not 'although') often serves as a postposed (concessive) adverbial conjunct, e.g.

” I sensed a bit of tension in his voice, though.”

but this is restricted to conversational usage.

For formal purposes, 'however' is more appropriate.
