@CameraID It was a incredibly jarring and didn't feel like Sunny and Basil could actually do it.
The reveal that Sunny actually killed her, on accident, helps to really drive that home. I don't think that meaning could've been made without Sunny (and Basil) doing something actually awful. Not just overcoming self-deprecating thoughts, making them believe they were bad people, but an actual act that is objectively horrible. If the game ended with just a confirmation on Mari's suicide, then the meaning becomes less impactful, in my opinion. I mean, if no one made any mistakes (any mistakes that had important and lasting consequences), then why would there be any conflict to forgive or accept them? It would just be a battle with grief (which is a powerful battle in and of itself don't get me wrong) but that's not what Omocat was trying to say here, I don't think. Not exclusively at least, the game absolutely still deals with grief.
It was hard as hell to accept that was what actually happened though, I mean, I spent the entirety of the game after Three Days Left desperately hoping that I could just hug Basil I mean come on look at him! He's got anxiety please just let me hug him oh my god. And the reveal that I've been feeling sorry for both a murderer and an accomplice to said murder? A bit rough, to say the least. But what do you think Aubrey, Kel, Hero, Sunny's mother, and everyone else will think when they know? I think, intended or not, how we feel about the reveal makes the game a meta-narrative (or is it ludo-narrative? or both?) by making us go through a process of accepting Sunny and Basil, despite their mistakes. Which is, again, the whole point. In my opinion, anyways.
I didn't really like the ending at first, but I thought a lot about it and I think I've really come to love it, in a way. And I think that that's for the best.
