My own Ace Attorney style pursuit theme for Of the Devil. Go check it out, episode 0 is free. EPISODE 1 SPOILERS Here's how it would present in game:

y guys . i like deltarune . this is my deltarune unofficial

*This little... pocket of reality... * ...Is my home. * Stay as long as you need. I could use the company * Just don't stay forever, heh...

Fandom is emotional, and The Golden Enclaves was definitely that for me. I found myself crying several times while reading the novel.

One aspect of fangirling, besides my need to write about the book, is my need to create a playlist for the book. I was trying to find music to channel the “feel” of The Golden Enclaves, which mostly means channeling El, which means angry girl music. And the angriest girl music I know, for better or worse, is Avril Lavigne. Here are a couple of songs that are oddly appropriate, not only in terms of tone, but in terms of lyrics matching characters and actions. (Spoilers!)

My Happy Ending Lyrics (I’m not sure where this song fits chronologically—different parts fit in with different parts of the novel)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much for my happy ending (Not that El really expected a happy ending, but after all, it was a close thing)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Let's talk this over

It's not like we're dead (El is emphatic about how Orion’s not really dead, though obviously she didn’t really think about talking to him until he came out)

Was it something I did?

Was it something you said?

Don't leave me hanging

In a city so dead

Held up so high on such a breakable thread (breakable thread)

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be (I mean, El actually accepted that she and Orion were going to go around building golden enclaves together)

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending (This is less of something El believes than what Orion believes)

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You've got your dumb friends

I know what they say (know what they say)

They tell you I'm difficult

But so are they (but so are they) (obviously this is in reference to Orion’s New York acquaintances, but more appropriate for A Deadly Education than The Golden Enclaves)

But they don't know me

Do they even know you? (even know you) (Even in the 3rd book El insists that no one really knows Orion the way she does)

All the things you hide from me

All the shit that you do (all the shit that you do) (El really hates the shit Orion does. I mean, the opening lines of A Deadly Education are about that exactly.)

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (we lost it)

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there

Thanks for acting like you cared (This doesn’t really apply to El so much as the way Orion acts about everything else)

And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching as I fall (Because Orion pushed El out of the Scholomance, ya know?)

And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it (El and Orion are definitely foils and fated to be on multiple levels)

And all of the memories, so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything that I wanted (that I wanted)

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

When You’re Gone (Obviously in response to when Orion is gone throughout The Golden Enclaves)

I always needed time on my own (One of the beautiful things about the Scholomance trilogy is how El goes from loner with bad vibes to hero with more friends than she wants)

I never thought I'd

Need you there when I cry (El . . . mostly cries about/because of Orion)

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie

Is made up on your side

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear (This part doesn’t fit. Orion doesn’t comfort El with his articulation so much as with his geeky presence)

To always get me through the day

And make it okay (That being said, El’s quality of life is made much better with Orion’s presence on an intrinsic level)

I miss you

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do

Reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you

I love the things that you do

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear

To always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you

We were made for each other (Again, it’s implied this is actually true, principal of balance and whatnot)

Out here forever

I know we were

Yeah, yeah

And all I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I do, I give my heart and soul (This is more true for Orion than El)

I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me

Yeah

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear

Will always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you
