Zero

NOT MADE WITH ANY SHIP IN MIND AND DEFINITELY NOT PR0SHIP!

(Spoilers for LN3 ending)

While most of the fandom has come to an agreement that Alone is an imaginary friend brought to life by the Nowhere, I like to think of her as a manifestation of Low's grief.

NOW BEAR WITH ME!.. But I like to think that Alone was alive at some point, died, and in the Nowhere, was brought back to life by Low's vivid imagination. Perhaps this is me coping because I've never been a fan of "it was all a dream/imaginary/anything of fictional variety" tropes, but then I'll cope, gosh darn it...

Anywho... in my mind, it doesn't make sense that the Nowhere would simply grant Low a friend. It's a place that's notoriously cruel to all of its inhabitants. If, for some reason, Low was the exception, then that calls into question what makes him so special compared to all of the other children in the franchise. On the contrary, if Alone was a deceased friend, I feel as though that would be a whole new level of cruel. That would make his options be either subjecting himself to the horrors of the Nowhere until he, himself, dies but still have his best friend with him, or going back to the real world and losing the person dearest to him a second time. A new heartbreak.

I also think grief is encapsulated by the atmosphere of the final chapter of the game. Things are solemn. Melancholy. Breaking apart. It's about time its resident lets go, but he will not. Although it's in shambles, he clings onto what remnants remain.

What about the doll? Well... erm... good question. I think it'd honestly be cute if Low had a crafty hobby of making dolls himself or if he found one that sort of looked like Alone and was like "she would like to wear this" and pictured her in that outfit from that point forward. Please tell me you see the vision. It's like when you and your bffl made yourselves powerful half-animal people in Gacha Life as children.
