just finished chapter three of the damsel route .
#actually I’m grinning ear to ear I loved it#but image funny#Going post#Stp#stp narrator#stp princess#i think this route is just another framing of the moment of clarity#where the narrator is forced to recognize what exactly his ‘happily ever after’ IS and how it feels#only this time it’s more directly stated as ‘what you’re supposed to be happy with’#and this time the horror of it is softened somewhat by being delivered in metaphor.#the best meal of your life becomes dull and dull and yet more dull merely because of repetition.#a delightful game played with someone you love ultimately grows stale. existential boredom creeps into your skull like mold#no matter what you do.#you can’t even sit in silence and be happy. there is no world where an absence of change leads to joy.#‘Oh no’ the narrator says. Because he understands now.#and it hurts less than the moment of clarity but only enough for him to not totally shut down.#enough for him to say ‘I’ve seen my fairy-tail ending. I think there might be worse things than the end of the world’ - admitting#his dream was foolish. Naive.#and only enough for him to give us the closest thing to an apology we’ve ever received from him:#‘I hope this was worth it. Genuinely I do.’#and he just sounds so sad and I’m going to cry every day for him
