The reader, who I refer to as 'Emily' to keep it simple (seeing as this whole thing was inspired by me wondering what would have happened if my Hetalia OC, Emily, went insane), is insane. Straightforward, and already implied by Her Insanity, right?
Right.
The incident mentioned in Her Insanity is yet to be mentioned, but it is something linked to the storyline. It isn't just 'oh, before she knew any of the countries she was mentally traumatized by a horrific event-' no. It's all linked, and that's what I really pride myself on with this! :D
The reason she knows the countries, and uses the terms 'World Meeting', 'Allies', 'Axis', as if she knows they are really nations is because she does. This is later to be explained, much like the incident, and is linked to that as well. I'll just give a little hint- the event that took place for her to know this is the reason she was targeted- yes, targeted- for the incident.
Concerning 'The Disappearance of Alfred Jones.'
I've realized that this is the one that may have been the most confusing, with the newspapers and all.
He has those because he was trying to help. He was there every time Emily failed to save someone, but never able to do anything but take a copy of the newspaper that featured her death before he was dragged back to the real world.
So, if he was taken back to the real world with the newspapers and his memories, why does he have them in his disappearance story?
Because that is the real Alfred, in the real world, with a fake version of Emily sent to save him.
How is this possible? Her failure meant he had gone insane for the last time, so he should have been Allen when he visited her in Her Insanity. He wasn't!
Well, he did stand on the other side of a metal door with only a slit to look through. For all we know, Allen is an amazing actor!
But then why was his last time the real him, when she didn't get the chance to save the real versions of everyone else?
Alfred is different. Seeing as he is the only one other than her who can see these things, it makes him the special, more important country.
Are you satisfied now? Yeah? I can move on to misunderstandings?
Concerning The Disappearance of Francis Bonnefoy
'That's not what happens when you're poisoned with cyanide!'
Okay, okay, it probably isn't!
But I was writing it the day I was supposed to publish it, and I spent ages talking to friends about it, and researching, but I can't very well ask my friends or Google how it feels like to be poisoned, and what happens to you when you are, because how would anyone who is living know that?
So give me a break, if you're asking that ^^
Concerning The Disappearance of Matthew Williams
'So, what's with the storm, and how it stopped when Emily got to the door to leave?'
Simple! You know how Matthew later said that he was yelling for her to leave, trying to get her to notice him? What she heard as a storm was actually Matthew's voice trying to warn her, and it stopped as she was trying to leave because it was then he knew that there was no hope for her escape anymore.
Concerning the death of Matthew and Emily.
In the report for the death of our protagonist and favourite Canadian, I mentioned that abuse given to them was apparent, or something of the like.
I didn't just throw that in to make it longer, because that is the most insensitive thing I've ever heard of. This 'abuse' refers to any torture the 'they' mentioned at the end may have given to them.
Concerning 'yandere!England vibes'
If 'The Disappearance of Arthur Kirkland' is giving you yandere vibes, then you're completely right. I wrote it with no romantic intentions, but after reading it over a lot, and reading other Hetalia horrors where the countries hearts were cut out, I decided to have that as Emily's cause of death.
.. Which then led to him having cut out her heart so she was his forever, then that developed, for me, the possibility that Arthur's prize for finding Emily was her eternal love.
Concerning Ivan's childishness, and disappearance location.
The location, as heavily implied, is a place where he may well have lived as a young child with Irunya and Natalya. The childishness and reason he chose to go to this specific house is because I find he is a very misunderstood nation- like how a child is misunderstood by most.
