( with the controller handed back over to him, he takes it to start the level off himself, somehow they managed to get to the last level — komaeda likes it, it's because every level the dark blue yoshi will be sent off to find the world boss, putting his life on the line, holding so much responsibility to open up the next world, and without him the game can't move forward. if he had just set everything down, he's sure they'd live some sort of complacent life, and that sort of thinking felt like a gilded cage they all wanted to be trapped in — he gave them an option, one that brought them together, and now they strive towards a hopeful ending. )

Those concepts are vague, yes, and can be lost in definition too, but if there's something there. ...Ahaha, I did this for them because I love hope, I never want them to become stagnant, there's more than what's before their eyes.

( he clicks a few buttons, blinking slow as he wears a sheepish smile next, who knew that he'd have to explain something like this to someone. especially someone who would say that he's right in a certain part, but even that is new to him that he looks over to ranger for a moment, contemplating, and then turning back to the screen. )

It did work, I'm still working, and once they achieve hope... I'll be even more satisfied! I wonder... if I'll see it.

( his life is limited, his need to die is always constant in his mind, and he knows that he shouldn't feel this way — since he's died already, again doesn't matter, again won't hurt... how many times he inflicted death on himself only to remain alive in some way. perhaps he's growing bored, or maybe the taste of death is so close that he can't believe he misses his chance every time, but if luck can work through a system, it must transcend death keeping him like this.

the tower crumbles on the screen as komaeda defeats the final boss, and the next world opens up for them — )

Hm... This was fun.
