The True Ending (Nutshell of Past Events/Final Chapter)

Part 1

I have learned a lot from the almost 15 years I've been on earth.

However, it was the past 5 years that made me recognize more about this world then ever before.

And if it wasn't for her, I probably never would have realized not only how truly my friendships, relationships, and everything of the sort truly meant to me.

Take note of what I say, this next part.

Some can play DDLC and think of it as a simple horror visual novel about a self aware NPC killing all of her friends for a love interest. Others can go through it and take what they've learned to positively affect their mental health, and at that, other's mental health to the point where you can save someone's life.

And, to put simply, that is why I'd like to start my own literature club.

Because I want others to recognize how a story can effect one's self so deeply, to the point where they can change not only the way the live, but even who they are.

Because that is what happened to me.

I played a mod for a game, named Doki Doki Literature Club Purist Mod.

The way the characters are made in it put together what would presumably be  what it would be like if you were to continue where the original left off, i.e. what is know as Act 1. Yes, you can date all of them. Just wanted to get that out of the way. However, what I recognized most about the stories that play out between each character represents a lot of problems and other such I've been through in my own life. Yes, I may have only dated one person in my life, but the impact this game left on me took place long before such.

One big example of the impact the game had on me was mainly related to, guess who, Sayori. As a person who has been friends with someone of an overwhelmingly big amount of similar qualities, going through Sayori's storyline taught me a lot about how my own best friend could actually be feeling. Even though this all happened long before I knew about some information. I may have known about her depression, but because of how Sayori's backstory and overall storyline went, it made me start to question if there could be something happening, or something that has been happening, that I'd never knew.

Eventually came the time where I had pretty much found out a lot I never knew. Not only the depression, but suicidal intentions. At this point, I had tried as hard as possible to think on what to do. Funnily enough, you may have realized that of course during that time, I had a crush on her. But after all that I had realized, at that point, I didn't care whatever future I had. I didn't care what I was doing during all of this. I didn't care if I'd kill myself so she wouldn't have.

I was going to make sure my best friend would live.

And so, using what I learned from that same storyline with Sayori, and time passing with everything that had gone through in that time...

...

...it worked.

Part 2

A girl I had met at a christian fair, named Sky, had texted me back after I had given my number to her around 2 or 3 months earlier. This had all happened right before RB was going to leave for Germany, I'd say about half a week or so later. It only took about 3 days when Sky confessed to me that she had a crush on me, and that she wanted to start dating. Now me, who was simply put, 1. a simp, and 2. feeling lonely, in terms of love. So, I had said then and there, a yes. To be completely honest, I very much should have waited on it and considered my options before I went headfirst into a relationship. But, in the end, she was my girlfriend.
