Something about both Needle and Den crawls out of a dark maw with you in some of their endings. And how MOC is quite literally has a dark maw as her face. Almost like youâre leading the both of them away from said dark maw, thus ending the cycle. Being stuck in that dark maw would always end with either one of or both of your deaths, or even letting the situation become much worse, especially in the route where you and Den had completely embraced instinct and had continued to consume one another in order to survive.
And how in Cage the theming of the hole the led you straight down into a wall of chains enveloping you. And you were also able to led Cage away from this maw of death by allowing her to trust you to be able to break the cycle and set the both of you free. How in Cage there were no windows to be seen, which reflects how Cage had completely succumbed to her fate and how she no longer believes that she was able to reach for freedom. Much like how in Needle and Denâs cabins that there were zero light sources and zero windows, only pure darkness. A maw waiting to shallow them whole. That is, if you allow it to happen.
