In the best way, there's just something empty and haunting about taking in the ending, cycles of violence, violence as a part of existence and how even through trying to escape it you'll potentially inflict that violence onto others. I'm left with a similar feeling to Amelie Doree's video about Harukuru and the discussions that sometimes you need to use violence to better society. That being alive is inherently violent, and I don't know if that's in here somewhere with the content of the game and 444 wishing for violence for ascension but only certain kinds of violence that it approves of.
I also think it's really interesting the idea that 444 was focused on seeking vengeance against people who ascended in the "wrong way", that we essentially became 444's pawns in the end along with our friends. IDK if I'm reading too much into that side of things or not about religious based trauma cycling its way back around without even meaning to perpetuate it.
Really beautiful short story and I'm now realising I never actually finished Meat Girl and I should do that tomorrow.
