I only discovered this line today but it's really fucking me up
Tumblr media
[ID: Text from Disco Elysium that reads:
SCAB LEADER - Wordless, he takes the photo and looks at it. Grey eyes dart back and forth on the glossy surface -- his face is unmoving.
COMPOSURE - Hard as a stone. But beneath it...
EMPATHY - You see dead flesh -- in colourful rivers of Polychrome -- melting skin and hair.
End ID]
The double meaning in this line - the parallel drawn between Lely's death and what may be in store for Korty... I've been through this game so many times and it still keeps finding ways to blow me away.
