(This is a resend, I had some small changes I needed to make. Please forgive me! Ignore the first attempt!)
Hello! I am a really big fan of Loving Decays (I even have an AU for my oc for it) and I've played the game and all it's endings so many times that every single ending and dialogue is engraved in my head (💔) I love this game so much and it's actually my most favourite Visual Novel that I have EVER played. I'm usually a very shy and anxious person so I distance myself from anything social online but I gathered enough courage to send you this question. :)
In E3 (Was it? I keep mixing the endings up sometimes) we get a scene with a dying Jane and Chao in the hospital, Jane pokes at Chao with "Scared I'll kill that babe of yours?" And Chao reacts quite negatively to it.
Hypothetically as a theory, what if Jane made sure that before she died, there was already a hitman secretly hired by her to kill MC? And maybe in the short time after Jane dies, that hitman has already finished the job? How would Chao and Owen react? Would Owen be the one that would uncover the mystery of Jane and MCs death and since Chao wouldn't know what happened either (The hitman was SECRETLY hired), they would both discover it?
So basically: What if MC was killed by Janes hitman, basically Jane dragging MC down with her? What would Chao and Owen do?
I told my friends about this visual novel and even they love Chao and the game itself ALOT! Thank you for gracing us with this masterpiece!
LOVE FROM SAUDI ARABIA!! <3 🇸🇦
HELLOOO thank you so much! It's always an honor to hear when LD is someone's favorite (ㅅ´ ˘ `) I really appreciate it!
⚠️spoiler warning for LD ⚠️
What if Jane sent someone to kill MC?
Yes, the hospital flashback was in Ending 3!
He'd connect the dots fast enough regarding who did it, and be crushed with guilt for everything that had happened. Everything he did would now be a waste, only mere hours away from fulfilling his first official meeting with MC, too, since the time frame between Jane's death and their meeting isn't even 24 hours apart.
The guilt will come from Jane's death, MC's death, and his feeling like he failed his plan, and deep down, to Owen, as well.
Despite not yet knowing MC much during this stage, it is exactly that unexplored possibility that will haunt him too.
As for Owen, he'd be less aware at first.
It would be a double blow. Losing his mother, and now his old friend, who's supposed to be handling her funeral. (He'd know, since Chao has probably sent the letter to the funeral home in Jane's name before discovering about MC's death).
When Owen starts overthinking about the coincidence and the bad feeling about the two deaths, that's when he'll start being vigilant.
If he asks around the funeral home, Ash can tell him about MC's previously planned meeting with a certain curator.
And when Owen searches for and recognizes that man's face, let's just say it would lead to an extremely destructive turn of events for both of them. One I'd like to leave to your imagination for now.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing LD with your friends! Love from the other side of Asia <3
