On a third replay of this game, someone who I sacrificed my save file for messaged me on PlayStation telling me thank you, and that they were motivated to do the same for someone else just because I had done so for him. I realized in that moment that I had the same reaction during my first ever playthrough, I cried like a baby because ending E is not only an exceptional ending to a video game, but somehow actually connects you with the world in a meaningful way. I can't believe that I'm able to say this about any work of fiction, but this game genuinely improved my outlook on life. During this replay, I had a very negative outlook on my life, things were very bleak without much of anything to look forward to. I knew what ending E was, I had remembered its emotional impact, but I wasn't prepared for how that moment would impact me again, even though I knew what was to come. Those messages that I received MEANT something to me, and I only wish that I could thoroughly thank those who shared those messages with me, because they unknowingly saved me from taking my own life. The world is not inherently cruel, kindness begets kindness, and it is very important to remember that even in your lowest point when everything seems to be against you, the whole world is rooting for you, even if you can't hear it.
