Edit because I'm smarter now there's just general plotline Omori spoilers over the entirety of this thing if you don't know what Something represents don't even read the first sentence
Thinking about symbolism of Mari using her left eye to stare at Sunny and therefore creating Something and then Sunny losing his left eye, losing the control his grief had over him even if it will affect him and the way he sees and interacts with the world permanently. Even if the way he lost Something was violent and out of his control, he has to move on, even if it will be hard to learn to live without it. It isn't the good ending because every character ends happy in the end, it is an ending that allows life to go forward, and that is good despite the pain that has to be felt [everyone learning the truth, Basil and sunny dealing with the secret, sunny not locking himself in his house anymore, sunny moving just as everything looked like it would finally be able to settle in Faraway] to get there. Its not a happy ending or good in the slightest, only good when you compare it to the other endings-[many YouTubers I've seen have gone "oh, what ending is this? Chat, what do I do to get the best ending? Do I need to fail the fight?" Which in itself is worthy of analysation for how Omori wraps you into Sunny's mindset but thats been looked over already on YouTube like 5 times, so not in this post]
-but it's instead a promise of a good ending. Its equivalent to when your in a depressive rut and someone comes by and hugs you and tells you "it'll be alright, everything gets better, I promise, it's not okay right now but it will." Because it will, even if it sounds like a load of bullshit because we don't know how Aubrey and Hero and Kel react, but in order to get past it you need to believe it ends well. Because if you imagine anything else than it's the worst ending and killing yourself turned out to be the best way out, which is wrong on every account. Idk I just like this game and this type of symbolism that is so easy to grasp on a surface level but then you can just keep finding for for it
Edit 2 I'm putting the reblog I made on the same day here because if I reblog the og it's not gonna have the spoiled warning
I also keep thinking about how Omori is set right before Sunny moves, and most of the endings are Sunny killing himself the day of. As if Sunny couldn't bear the thought of leaving the last place Mari was, even if it meant giving up. As if he heard he was going to be moving and planned it. We don't know anything about Sunny, and as someone who used to daydream for 12+ hours a day even if I wasn't a shutin, it's an absolute tossup whether he really kept the same daydream going for 4 years or 2 years or anything in-between when we see him, especially with it seeming like he has repeated this dream of him fighting his fears over and over and over. But my personal thing is that it's an old daydream that Sunny picked up, refreshed a bit, and went through, as a way to remind him of why he has to end it before he leaves the house and to get as much out of his life as possible, back when he kept up with friends. But he just. No one really wants to die, they just want to stop dealing with whatever's fucking everything up so he waits until he can't wait anymore. Do you get what I mean does any of that make sense is that plausable
