Just Finished Debris N Now I'm Curious What Your Thoughts On Lefia And/or The True End Are

just finished debris n now I'm curious what your thoughts on lefia and/or the true end are

NICE! Hope ya enjoyed it!

As for thoughts HOOOOH BOY

Have way too many of them that are all over the place. Gonna warn you this is a really scattered wall of text heh

First of all Lefia and her relationship to Tatsuki

Personally don't think Lefia's a real person [have seen some theories that she's Tatsuki's sister] and is more of an imaginary friend of sorts. The image shown when you find her in the apartments looks more sketch like the other drawings as opposed to an actual photo. Think Tatsuki might have been the one to draw it. As the contents are never actually shown thinks possible to have been either a more picture heavy child's book or journal.

Lefia could have been a character from or based on said book that they really liked/would've wanted to be friends with if she was real so they imagined they were friends. As Tats seems to feel lonely and unable to connect to people they sought comfort from Lefia constantly.

Another possibility is she's a sort of idealized alter-ego they made as a form of escapism. They have serious self-hatred problems and wish they were someone else so they pretend to be Lefia in their head to get away from themself. In this case the red book could've been a journal Tats made to document their stories as Lefia, and maybe helping them further distance self.

Bit of a note on that; in the underground looking are this npc sitting next to door gives you a look when enter. The figure inside the room looks like they're sitting in a way reminiscent to someone in an interview or discipline lecture. Pressing the button plays a series of weird drawing, and personally think they give off the same sort of feelings as those drawings

Given that you have to use the stop effect and door becomes translucent Tatsuki might have kept her a secret from others, sometimes even going off and hiding to spend time with/as her.

The True Ending

God thoughts on this are all over the place and honestly still not sure what to make of Tat's mouth getting messed up before going off. Best idea is its showing how they snapped and turned into a monster, but even that doesn't seem to click right.

During her part, Lefia puts away several childs toy then enters a glitched/messed up version of Tatsuki's room with Tats asleep in their bed. She walks slower and gets a shadow over her face. After this there's the path scene where Lefia blocks Tats. Am convinced this is a metaphor for Tatsuki giving up their innocence [putting away childs toys and 'killing' their imaginary friend]. Lefia block path to area with the two corpses could be that part deep down trying to save them. Walking away means they chose not to give in, but the scenes with them looking at the book on the ground then sitting on bed looking down imply they lost the comfort it provided and ultimately just gave up and became an empty shell [they're trapped somewhere they're miserable, entirely alone, and failed to escape so what's the point of trying anymore? whatever hope they had the future could be better is gone.]

Choosing to stab Lefia of course means they 'threw away their innocence' or stopped trying to stay a good person. [theorize they had trouble controlling emotions, especially anger, and either got berated/punished and called a monster when they lost control or viewed themselves as such and was scared that's who they could become.] After this am not really sure what to make of everything, tho think Tat's corpse being in the field heavily implies they died.

As Tats and the chaser meet up at the park think its safe to say the two had some sort of relationship, either as genuine friends or a 'friend' that bullied Tats. Personally lean more towards genuine friends. Feel like the area underwater with the chaser looking down and sitting in an isolated n closed off could show that Tatsuki saw her as someone that was also lonely and the two became close friends due to being able to relate to one another so well. In this case you can play with possibility the red book was either a gift or something the two enjoyed together which is why they have it with them when meeting. yknow, if you want the ending to sting more heh

An interesting detail is the area the ending happens in seems to resemble this area. Not sure if the npc that turns into a child when using upside-down effect [which can be taken as either 'seeing things as they are' or Tatsuki's distorted view, which can really shape view of the chaser as she's usually tame and using effect shows her in chaser form.] or house with two active and fast chasers really means anything but think its something worth noting.

Sooo yeah, there's thoughts. Hope it was a fun and/or interesting [and intelligible] read!

COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT BUT WANNA SHARE THIS ADORABLE HARINEZUMI MADE OF SOU READING BOOK WITH LIL LEFIA IN CORNER TO TATS. THE WAY THEIR HAIR RADIATES POMERANIAN ENERGY N THEY LOOK SO SOFT/COMFY JUST.

also there’s a doll that resembles lefia in Mikan Muzou

boyfriends hoodie. or smething dunno was so sleep deprived when ‘thinking’ of this [and still am] words were kinda just happenin regardless if  they made sense or not

+ a 200% more whiny follow up cause gotta thing for oversized hoodies [who doesnt?]

btw I picked up debris bc of u, it's super interesting so far! the only real like. lore thing I've seen is a girl and like. a Masada/enderman type guy in the sort of planty hallway with all the lilies

AAAAAAAAAAH BRB CRYING FOR AN HOUR

Am really glad you like it! ꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ

You mean these two? Heh am curious what your take on them is since you called em lore. Always found this room really interesting [it almost feels surreal but in a ghibli or ps1-era adventure game way if that makes sense] but have zero idea what to make of it or them.

ALSO thoughts on the hospital?

Sooooo for starters LOVE THE HOSPITAL AREA, ITS SUCH A NEAT AREA . Also the clones event is one of favorites, it's so bizarre and unnerving and am really intrigued by it and just love it [granted miiiiiight be into medical aesthetics considering am into menhera n that kinda imagery. and might just be a weirdo]

Kinda messy/more throwing around notes [yes am going through and re-visiting areas cause am like. that.] than an actual coherent thought

First off there's the weird backgrounds for the connection to the hospital [according to terminal are titled 'mouth' and 'tear']. Think it could mean Tatsuki has a distrust of/views doctors as manipulative?

Nother thing is the room you start in is titled 'Isolation Ward.' [might be nothing other than names to make coding easier but still wanna note it]

Not entirely sure how to word this but it doesn't give off the usual hospital feeling that other games with them do, might be due to walls being yellow instead of white and abundance of chairs.

Obviously feel like something traumatic happened to Tatsuki at one. The clones event [terminal says room's titled Decay] maybe being them going through multiple near death experiences at one or just the fear of dying while in a critical state at one. Also possibly something like a fever dream or delirium induced by state or medication. Since there's the two bodies in hallway of alt hospital could be that they saw someone else die and got scared they would as well.

There's also the odd doctor that changes the menu and not any other staff around so maybe during stay the staff treated Tatsuki poorly and came off cold and distant or neglectful which lead to Tats having a distrust/dislike of doctors.

note: the terminal is a Linux thing. It's a text based interface that's used to run the games and stays open while game is open. bad at explaining things so here's photo of it 'running' game with game window next to it

know nothing about rpgmaker development and am essentially kinda guessing based on what it spits out.

silly au scenario thats been goin through head pertaining to whole tatsuki/soutarou thing but don’t have mental capacity to put it on canvas atm. 99% sure its been mentioned on here but have loose feel-good lighthearted concept of an au where Lefia’s a real person and Tats moves in with Sou.

Nate’s [blonde chaser from MM] chatting with someone who’s also friends with the two dreamers and doing the whole, “Come to think of it, have you ever seen the two in the same room together?” Conversation partner’s just, “...Do you really think they’re the same person? Are you serious.” Bit of back n forth banter of same nature and on cue Sou n Tats walk into room arguing about something stupid [personally imagine Tats commenting on how doll absolutely looks like Lefia and Sou retorting that he’s not judging them for that, he’s judging how they spent 30 minutes trying to get it + ended up getting it only because other MM chaser happened to be there when they could’ve just taken a picture or something]

Nate’s just ○♢○ while other person side eyes him like, “Told you.”

wouldve sent this sooner but I fell asleep, but what are your roommate's cats names? what are they like?

gonna be honest reason for answer being so late is same, was tired.

The longer one is Oreo and kinda never learned or got down a name for the one curled up so call her either Mocha or Squeakers [she'll meow so fast she cuts herself off]. Oh man theyre both really talkative and affectionate, the kind you could wink at from across the room and they'd run over meowing. It can be a bit much at times when you need to get out of bed but someone's laying on your arm and hes very vocal about not wanting that to change heh
