Skipping through the dialogue I came across one of the two most important choices I need to make for this route: Would I rather walk back home with Sayori or Yuri. It does make you think about the people in your lives who are always happy and want to cheer everyone up.Īre they truly happy, or is their happiness a mask to hide their pain to make people not worry about them? “I could sleep forever.” That was the first clue. Saying the obvious (Sayori conceals her depression from the club) is stupid so I won’t go into those details. Monika mentioned that it was surprising to read Sayori’s poems on the topic of sadness as it was opposite to her normal cheerful personality. Seeing how Sayori wanted to cheer everyone up to hide her depression and pain not only made sense, it was heartbreaking. It’s only when you consume and experience it multiple times is when you start to pick up on the things that were once hidden. It’s strange: when you consume media for the first time, you do not pick up on the subtle clues the creator(s) hid within the art. For some situations, I did read some of her lines and what others have to say about Sayori.

Because fuck I ain’t spending another two hours of my life reading all that bullshit in her route. Let me say this: Thank god for the skip text option. The too pure cinnamon bun thing, ya know? Also, gonna name myself after my PC (“OWNER) to see if Monika detects that lol. There’s a CG I have yet to obtain (at the time of this writing) from her route. To start, I’m going to tackle Sayori’s route first. Well, okay we already went through hell once. In order to get the game’s true/golden ending, we gotta go through hell first. Doki Doki Literature Club is no expectation. If you truly want that happy ending, then you have to go through hell to obtain it.

Video games (with multiple endings) drive this point home hard. You know, I truly believe that you can earn your happy ending in life – but only if you work and grind your ass off for it.
