Imagine being Akane Kurashiki, 12 years old, and you get visions of the future and it's of you ruining people's lives to save yourself. Would that fuck you up. Would you feel loved by yourself. Would you look at your future self, 9 years later, hurting these people because she loves you so much, and be able to forgive yourself for it? And of course it's not JUST you who's trying to save yourself--she's just setting up the pieces to save you, knowing that you're going through nearly unimaginable horrors in two realities at once, because she is you. She's the reason you can see both past and present, and she's the only one who can understand, and she will do anything to save you. To save herself.

one of my favourite themes in 999 is the various depictions of people going mad with grief. clover and snake becoming absolutely ruthless, violent, vengeful and almost downright bestial over the loss of each other with the purpose of punishing, and also junpei clambering and flailing and screaming his voice hoarse for snake in the safe ending, for no purpose at all, just stupid and desperate with so much grief that his mind can’t comprehend. and of course the very purpose of the game being akane grieving herself.
