87. Impossible, nothing

……

The success and popularity of "The Man in the Bed" actually has the background and reasons of the times, and the biggest point is that it fits the current neon environment.

The bursting of the economic bubble is the direct cause, because it causes many young people to have no thoughts about the future, you think about it, as soon as you graduate from high school/college, after entering the company, the whole life has already seen the end.

In such a situation, no matter how desperate you have to be, it will inevitably produce a lot of negative energy, and loneliness is one of them.

And escaping, lying flat, and staying at home have become a choice for young people who seem to be active but are helpless.

This actually adds to the loneliness.

In addition, the quilt man himself is set in a modern city, and the story he tells is too close to life, so that people, especially young people, have infinite resonance.

Everyone can see their own shadow in this game to a greater or lesser extent, which is why they are so fascinated that they even regard "The Man in the Bed" as their own spokesperson in the post-era.

The deep thinking of society, the narration of reality, the description of predicament, and the portrayal of the choices between men and women in these environments......

These are the reasons why players love this game.

It is true that people feel lonely, that people can feel the feeling of love from it, that people can gain the courage to continue living and believing in love...... These are the values embodied in "The Man in the Bed".

But as time goes on, or players really like the game too much, so when they play it repeatedly, they find some clues, and at the same time, they have evolved all kinds of speculations about the ending.

Word of mouth among the player community, and finally there are some people who are very scary and unwilling to face:

"Nene, you know what? The man in the bed actually has a hidden ending, or it is not clearly informed, but it makes people think about it carefully, and the whole body will tremble because of fear, and the more you think about it, the more you will fall into the bottomless abyss. ”

At the company's rooftop exchange meeting, Tachibana Shinichi, a young junior of the company downstairs, said with a frightened face.

Furukawa Hirosawa and the others were stunned by the look on his face.

"What?"

"You mean."

"Why are you acting so scary, mysterious? Is there anything else wrong with the quilt man? ”

Tachibana thought about it for a moment, and continued to pretend to be mysterious, "Actually, I also heard it from other players.

There are actually two kinds of real endings in "The Man in the Bed".

The first is the extension of the story, according to the clues given by the nest man, Xiaohuo must be dead, there is no doubt about this, right? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, Xiaohuo's body is about to die, if he can survive, then wouldn't the fireworks girl die very unjustly?

The end of fireworks and small fires was predestined from the start.

"Angels don't have a good ending in most cases, and judging from the information revealed in the game, it's very likely that the angel was caught by the Mystery Research Institute for research."

"Suspicious!" Hiroshi Furukawa raised his hand.

"It's just a guess, don't take it so seriously." Tachibana said.

"There are several pieces of evidence that were captured for research, the first of which is that Angel is the only one in this group who knows that there is a [Mystery Institute].

It is very likely that she has seen or experienced similar things before, which means that in addition to these disqualified people, there are other mutants who have been captured for experiments.

In the end, there must be no good ending, so the angel especially resists going to the hospital, and when he is caught by the police, he acts extremely frightened. ”

"Hmm...... Sounds plausible, but doubtful. Furukawa Hirosawa said.

"As for the quilt man and the hedgehog woman...... According to the table clues, there are two results. Tachibana held up two fingers.

Burst......

Hearing his words, Kinoshita almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water.

Good guys, give me a clue.

A game has been played by these players so much.

Although Kinoshita expressed disdain, the others listened with relish.

"The first." Tachibana held up a finger, "Following the existing storyline, the nest man saved the hedgehog girl from the fire, and both of them woke up in the hospital."

However, given that Hinata's family doesn't seem to be that fond of quilt men, and it is clear that her mother is very controlling, Hinata is not doing well in her new family.

In such a situation, the hedgehog and the bedding are destined to be unacceptable to each other's families.

Then they can only live a life of sneaking and relying on each other for the rest of their lives.

This kind of life will be very difficult, and it is not clear that one day in the future, the hedgehog will cause self-harm because of guilt......

Of course, these are all imaginary visions of the future, but there is a high probability that it will happen.

After all, life is life, and life is not only about the love in front of you, but also about the helplessness and helplessness in the distance.

As for whether the quilt man finally turned back into an ordinary person, it doesn't seem to matter too much.

It is known that the hedgehog has lost its human identity, and in this case, there is a detailed description in Osamu Dazai's "Human Disqualification". I won't say more. ”

"The second ......" Tachibana said here, frowning, as if remembering something not very happy, "Some players have suggested that the quilt man was actually dead when he saved the hedgehog girl.

When jumping from the upstairs, the quilt is equivalent to the male protagonist's skin, so even if the two are wrapped, the impact of the quilt on the ground is still 100% bearable.

So the moment he jumped out of the window, a white light appeared in front of him.

The composition of the whole game is also very unreal.

In this case, the follow-up story is likely to be a world conceived by the nest man when he was dying.

Do you understand? ”

"Ah...... No way? Haamigawa let out a low snort.

The others didn't speak, just silently thought.

It's a bit far-fetched, but it's not impossible.

"Finally, there's a particularly dark and cruel, chilling ending speculation, do you want to know?" Tachibana gasped, his eyes revealing fear, glanced at everyone, and persuaded, "It's too late to turn back." ”

"Are you an idiot?" Kinoshita raised his hand and slammed the junior on the head.

"You've laid the groundwork to this extent, how can anyone not want to listen to it?"

"That's it, or don't say it, when I heard that it was suddenly disconnected here, it was really tasteless."

"Okay, it's your own choice, don't blame me!" Tachibana coughed and continued, "This ending is really dark.

I still can't sleep at night when I think about it. ”

"Alright, let's talk about it!" Kinoshita urged.

"Okay, okay." Tachibana hurriedly continued, "I don't know which genius player discovered this kind of speculation, but as long as I follow his train of thought, I feel more and more that this is the case.

Do you know why Pokeni chose to use such a strange game art style to make "Quilt Man"? ”

Everyone looked at each other, each recalling the scene in the game.

It seems really strange to say.,The painting style of "Quilt Man" is the one that is the biggest difference from other game works of P Society in history.。

According to the official statement, it is based on the second dimension by combining with the French Sambei style, giving birth to a new fairy tale style.

Dreamy, childlike, and perhaps a little distorted, it can generally give people a warm, romantic, and cute feeling.

"Why?" Furukawa Hirosawa also began to be a little curious.

"On the surface, Pokeni wanted to make the game a new style, a work that pursued art form, and in some cases, it was possible to cover up some cruel plots with such a cute fairy tale style, such as the hedgehog girl pulling all the thorns off her body, the fireworks girl burning herself, and the small fire organ damage......

But these are technical techniques, and the real situation is easier to explain in the plot. ”

Tachibana swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, and then said with a panicked expression, "Actually, the entire game content of "Quilt Man" was imagined by the heroine Hinata Nan. ”

"Huh?!" Everyone was amazed.

What kind of weird angle is this, and you can actually think of such a statement?!

Hiroshi Furukawa's instinctive reaction was-

This player, the player who can come up with such an explanation, must not be in his right mind.

"At that time, I had the exact same expression as you do now," Tachibana pointed to the others, "I couldn't believe it when I heard that."

But after the man told me, I realized that there really seemed to be some truth.

If, I mean, if this assumption is true, then there is a different but appropriate explanation for everything that happens in "The Man in the Bed". ”

Tachibana said, "Hinata Minami's family background should be real, she grew up in a family where her mother was very strong and her parents were divorced.

Later, her mother remarried, and she was not liked by her stepfather either.

Hinata Minami's rebellious personality caused her to be frustrated everywhere, and over time, she suffered from mental illness, that is, paranoia.

Under such circumstances, Hinata Minami was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

This actually corresponds to the fact that she pulled the thorns off her body, collapsed in a pool of blood, and was taken to the hospital.

In the game, she pulls out the thorn, but the real situation is ...... Most likely ......"

At this point, Tachibana did not continue, but looked at you with a kind of [you know] look.

Everyone also nodded their heads, indicating "I understand"

"At this point, the mental symptoms were actually very serious, so her parents sent her to a psychiatric hospital."

There, Hinata Nan befriended a number of other [partners]:

An angel who fantasizes that he has wings, but can never fly.

A small fire that thinks that if you are angry, it will breathe fire.

There is also a fireworks girl with a pleasing personality, she should really like Xiaohuo, so she fantasized about herself as something he likes-

Firework.

In short, it was such a group of people who gathered together that gave birth to Hinata Minami's fantasy of [Quilt Man].

To some extent, the hedgehog woman is very eager to have a hero like the quilt man to save her.

Not only in her story, but also in reality, to save her spiritually.

And it is very likely that the [quilt man] corresponds to a part of the south of Hinata.

She is lonely and helpless, with thorns all over her body, and Hinata Minami is both a hedgehog woman and a quilt man.

If that's the case, then everything is easy to understand:

The whole "Quilt Man" is a storyline that follows Hinata Minami's fantasy of reality, and then disrupts the story that is formed.

From the timeline, it should look like this:

Hinata Minami is isolated, and all she receives from her parents is negative, so in such a situation, many terrible things happen.

After this, she was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Then I met some friends there, but these friends were [healed] one by one, which meant that the most important part of them was killed.

Angel lost her wings and became an ordinary person again, and she knew from the beginning that the institute was actually a mental hospital.

Xiaohuo and the fireworks woman were discharged from the hospital and became a normal person.

Hinata Minami had a period of recovery, corresponding to the fact that she was taken to the hospital for treatment in the game, and when she became a [good girl], the thorn would disappear.

But in the end, she still picked up the [thorn].

So in the end, she returned to the mental hospital.

But Hinata Nan hates this environment very much, this cage that shackles people, so he fantasizes about a fire, hoping to use the fire to burn down the mental hospital, and at the same time burn those worldly prejudices and burn the people and things that torture her.

In such a beautiful fantasy, the knight who never left the nest man played a very important role, and he saved her from the fire.

The final ending should be Hinata Minami's final wish in this life-

Both she and the boy in the bed have returned to normal human beings and are living happily together.

How romantic, and at the same time fairytale-like.

That's why the whole game has to be in such a fairy tale style. ”

Hinata Minami is a very carefully portrayed character in the game, including her family, background, and the origin of the hedgehog, all of which have a clear explanation.

At the same time, there is another thing that is basically certain, that is-

The hedgehog is the last one to survive. ”

……

"So, from beginning to end, from beginning to end, it's all the fantasy of a madman in Hinata Minami, right?"

Damn!

Hirosawa Furukawa was so shocked that his scalp tingled.

If you think about it, it seems that this is really possible.

No, it's better to say that these endings are more reasonable than [Mika Ishino's tenderness].

After all, hair knives are pokeni's style.

The last conjecture, in particular, completely scared him.

And, as long as you accept the setting, you will somehow feel that it fits abnormally.

It can even make people imagine Hinata Minami's small body huddled in the white room of a mental hospital, holding himself and thinking about these smirking scenes.

"Ah~ what to do, bitter rope! I can't sleep well at night! ”

……

Regarding these speculations, Qing Zhiyuan said that he would ignore them.

"Impossible, nothing."

When facing the media, Qing Zhiyuan behaved extremely calmly.

"All of this is over-interpretation by the players, and what can tell the players is that we have already put it in the game, and what is not in the game is the space left for the players to interpret and imagine themselves.

Please refrain from over-speculating.

The galgame produced by our company has always been aimed at bringing players a beautiful experience, and on this basis, it is our blessing to be able to think about life and themselves. ”
