    A determined new challenge

    There will be times she is stricken with worry and the painful reopening of old wounds.
    But as long as there is hope, she just has to firmly hold on to it.
    When she senses the gap between dream and reality, it will give her new strength.

    === "Ending-B"

    This Madotsuki is different from the others...
    This one is a woman (sexually defined, at least visually), not a person encaged in herself because of having a part of her body raped, and yet rapeable (the fear of being raped one more time is what, to me, kept she at her tiny room.
    In the picture, Madotsuki is proud of her body, and shows her legs with a shorter skirt. Hell, she even bodered changing her hairstyle!
    ...
    I do believe that is posible to achieve this ending, maybe after a nearly impossible random event, or after following a long script in her Dreamworlds... It would be so relieving.

    Well, in the game you are a girl, who doesn't have better plans than sleep and dream. But in this dreams there is no line to follow, no page after the other, and no clear message. In Bible, the beginning (Genesis) is at the beginning of the book, and the end (Apocalypsis) is at the end. And the message is clear as bottled water. It even has tales to explain the message more clearly.
    I mean, is way too straightforward to be compared to Yume Nikki. In Bible, after two goes three, and the main character (is not exactly like that, but...), Jesus has a mission clear from the very beginning.
    You could tell that Bible is a book about a God, and the hystory of his tribe. It is also the message of a Messiah, and it is an educational book too. I could go on endlessly.
    But in Yume Nikki, the only things that you know that are for sure, is that a girl is shutted so she only can be at her room and out on the balcony, and het duty (Instructions said it) is to get in bed and dream. From that point on, everything is clear no more. Maybe is random dreaming, or remembering dreaming, or expecting dreaming. And if you try to use Freud's criteria in the game, you'll find out she is highly disturbed.
    You know what I mean?

    Was it a joke?
    Internet messes with me the way it likes. Really.
    And after having to study to pass the hellish Phylosophy Exams at my high school, I go SUPER SERIAL at any avoidable situation. I guess I'm not kind.
    PD: I've never read Freud, but once you quote him, you've won. At the very moment.
