Harry route: masks and doppelgangers
I haven't been discussing Harry's route much in terms of identity (but I will)
(As for Teo analysis I haven't quite found something that makes me go 'this is a symbolism for...!' because he's a cinnamon roll and there are less paintings, more slice of life things. This is not something I wish to change and it doesn't make Teo's route any less for me, because Teo deserves happiness. Perhaps I need to read the Her script.)
Well, in Harry's route there's no secret that it will turn into a supernatural journey with AI and stuff.
Doubles/doppelgangers/twins are a thing in cinema as are multiple selves. It has to do with dual nature.
Who has multiple selves? Harry. "Business mode" (for social events), the horse head mask (working), his subconscious self (wanting to be in a relationship, being a push over), his surface self (who does not say 'I love you' until day 241).
Then Harry hands his horse mask persona to the assistant director and angel shows up for the first time. Passing the mantle was not a good call because
1) It didn't make assistant director his own person. He is not liked for his own films and the assistant director is insecure.
2) He's giving the assistant director his fame, but he's also giving the AD the weight of what people expect of the director of blue moon, the weight to do well for the sake of the staff, crew, the actors, the public and producers. Maybe even selfishly passing his responsabilities and having all play while AD is not famous under his own name. He handed off his burden instead of quitting.
3) AD is clearly not ready for it.
4) The AD has to deal with what the public believes of Harry, the idolized and unreachable persona, not the man himself, not a human, but a perfect image.
It seems that getting rid of his films and image helps his relationship with MC, 1 planet later he confesses and starts the relationship with MC.
but we all know that works for a while.
Harry's identity issues come back with a vengeance. He doesn't recognize himself. There's a void missing. He has no idea who the real him is. Is it the kind Harry that gets taken advantage off? Or is it the guarded Harry that feels no joy, but more importantly... no pain?
In time we realize that the void was not caused by MC, being away from MC didn't fix it.
The neglected part comes back again.
The responsabilities. You can just stop being yourself and hand your face and name to someone else. The markings on the mask show it.
"This mask has been labeled missing"
"This mask can't be redeemed, but it can be replaced with a new copy."
What does Harry do? He washes the mask. An allegory that he is finally ready to deal with this part of himself. He messes up the water, because he's human. He no longer sees himself as someone who can't make mistakes.
And Angel was angry before because of that reason. Harry is becoming more human, changing, his eyes are full of life.
And Angel will not age, he will not grow, he is something unreachable and that people pray so that they can be protected, but his eyes are lifeless.
Naturally Angel is going to toy with the assistant director to show Harry his mistakes.
Both Angel and the AD have facets that Harry turned away from. The public's flawless perception and the burdens of fame.
Obviously, the burdens of fame will be tackled, but Harry won't return to a perfect image.

funny thing is that there's an angel called Sariel that taught men the cycles of the moon and lusted after "the daughters of men".

unreliable narrator
Could angel have started life as a digital egg due to the feelings of all piu pius (who are also somehow one) who were made to be matchmakers and not to experience love?
Could a desire to protect the MC turn into changing shape like nameless did with the wizard?
Who knows.

(If anyone wonders: It's not that I have stopped making theories, but since Harry's final days have been released I'm waiting and thinking. Good thing is that this will make fuel for Teo theories)

Questions that will probably go unanswered in Harry's route ending
I have so many questions I probably won't have an answer to in the ending.
Why did Harry decide to retire as a film director?!
What is the summary for Blue Moon?
Why did Terry agree to the arranged marriage? What were they like at age nine?
I wanted to know what other films Harry directed, what genre?
What is the deal with the red orb?
Who was the murderer in the train? What was the purpose of that day??
Why did Harry catch Dr. C's attention?

Piu Piu census
(Source for the pic: The ssum daily updates)
So when piu piu went back to the place where it hatched, it sent this pic, saying there were many eggs.
So at least 10 unhatched piu pius(9 men?! Assuming that cheritz is too chicken for girl romantic routes, of course.)
1 of them is Pi-Pi (we know who lives with pi-pi and we miss him)
Harry's piu piu found a feather of PIU-PIU who had already hatched and left the place before them. (June's? Now, I am aware that different people write different routes, but maybe things were tweaked behind the scenes during a time the routes were both in development?)
And spoke with another Piu Piu who hatched a little earlier than Harry's and this one is the piu piu who hates human's (Henri's? I just assume because of that videocall Henri has in the June route, he already has a VA so he has a foot in the door as a love interest. I also assume henri because the ads displayed for him means he doesn't have the app at that time.)
(....Does this mean Henri is the one with evil piu piu? It's because of his nature as a weird self medicating doctor... rubbed in it?)
(Disclaimer: This post is not immune to retcons from Cheritz and not immune to other lore being brought forth from another possible man's route)

Harry: Listen, let's break up with MC.
Also Harry: my heart has turned cold, but her warmth is going to save me.

Doodle unknown
I doodled over Harry's face to see if he's the hooded person.
I'm 90% sure that's Harry under the hood, or a case of same face syndrome...?
is the angel like... an alternate world counterpart of Harry or...?
or the crazy case the assistant director might get surgery to look like Harry?

Who is Dr. C?
From the little bits of the bluebird notes we can make a small profile.
Dr. C is wealthy, so expect refined manners and elegant speech.
He's effortlessly smart and a hard worker. So much that he must have prizes and trophies.
Wanted to know the secret of the universe as first priority, then love.
Perfect life, good at everything.
Brave enough to quit his job, perhaps too focused on a single goal.
As a matter of fact, he is searching for love right now.
Strikes me as someone who goes to people who are researching the things he looks for, then if there are no answers only then he starts his own research.
Former "cool" person, probably current "loser" in order to find love. (Cosplaying as a poor person?)
He was good looking enough to be a platinum PLF member.
He was not fond of showing vulnerability.
Not afraid to wear cringey clothes.
Motherfucker built a single-cabin time machine. (2019 love bundle)
He was kind enough to call piu piu "the world's best AI" and wicked enough to build a piu piu who hates humans.

31 days is not enough to finish all the loose ends in Harry's route....
(Bracing myself for 1004 not being revealed)
At least Teo still is in the race.

Harry's family crest/coat of arms
Long boring post ahead.
I've told a few friends about this. (You know who you are! Heh.)
Harry's family symbol always seemed too detailed to me. I had a hunch it was not nothing, so I looked it up.
Let's look at it. It contains two keys. Tied by a cord. And something that can't be quite made out....
It's important enough to be on seals:
A paper knife that's a prized heirloom:
Even on the bunker (That's for the end of the world)
the silver tray is not a simple silver tray either. It's a silver plate that contains a tiered crown and the lion of Judah. As far as I know the Lion of judah has ties to King David, the ten commandments, tribes or families (in this case.)
The lion is symbolism for the king of everything.
It's my humble opinion that this might tie into the Choi family and their earthly riches. A family that's powerful and on top like an apex predator.
(I am not an expert, so if you'd like to submit about why the Lion of judah is on Harry's route you are welcome to do so)
But I think this plate was chosen because it has a tiered crown. A papal tiara. Which is part of the crest.
there's a name for that, but let's turn the coat of arms upside down.
The symbol becomes obvious. It is:
Papal regalia and insignia
One key is silver and the other one is golden.
These are the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.
The silver key is the power to bind and loose on earth, the gold one is to bind and loose in heaven. These keys were given to Saint Peter, (who waits at the pearly gates and sees who is fit to enter heaven.)
the power to bind is to forbid something.
The power to loose is to allow something.
Given that Harry's family crest is the papal insignia, but reversed, the meaning must be reversed as well. I personally think of the crest as The keys to everything that's here on earth. A kingdom not spiritual. A kingdom full of riches and material things. The papal tiara is at the bottom so spirituality or morality are of the least concern.
The keys remain the same upside down or not, then it would be the power to say what's allowable in their world and what's not and not based on morality, but mistakenly applied to heaven as well.

Day 3 of Teo's route
To be honest, there was a time I looked at the stock pictures Cheritz was using to dig a rabbit hole or to understand the story better. (I no longer do that.)
I wasn't expecting much, but I did end up finding some not so boring things.
For example, day 3 of Teo's route.
So, relying on memory. I think this was the day he was looking for script ideas in the hospital.
He sents this picture.
(Yes it's a stock image with some drawing on it. Not much to see here)
But my gut told me it's kind of a weird stock image to use for a hospital's green area.
So I looked for the original, the original image is:
It's a path towards a church. Maybe it means nothing, but they kind of kept the picture and adapted it instead of choosing another green scenery picture.
Yet, I can't shake the gut feeling that narratively speaking, it might mean that Teo is on a spiritual healing journey (or was, heh) as well as his physical health.
It might also mean he comes from a family that places importance on faith.
Disclaimer: (It might also mean nothing)

I miss Teo and Harry. I think their routes haven't been shown enough love.
So I'm gonna start pointing out little things that have caught my attention on their routes. I like the weird background happenings their routes.
June might get his share of analysis later. This is all S1 lore.
