After Ending 2 of the April Fools DLC, Zen has realised that 'MC' doesn't exist... but in another world, a young woman named Leah does. With Seven's help, the pair of them manage to bring her—you—into their reality.

But even when you're desperate to escape your old mundane life, adjusting to living in a fictional reality is no easy feat—especially when you have your own set of mental health issues to cope with. With that said, though... it is nice to be hugged by your favourite fictional characters.

Liar.

I hate that reset theory so does it makes me a masochist for drawing about a subject that pains me?

Y E S.

More seriously, I always wanted to avoid drawing something related to this theory as it will undoubtedly make me sad afterwards (I am a very emotional kind of human) but the idea inspired me too much so I did it.

The lineart isn't clean because I thought it would add something to the drawing... It kinda gives life to the drawing don't you think? I am lying, I was just too lazy to do the lineart. Lololol

She noticed the subtle changes that occurred in the penthouse. Even though she was just a cat, there was always this feeling that her days were spent living the same cycle over and over again. Elizabeth was always very in tune with her environment as her human took great care to always have her around. 

Sometimes it would bring a charming new member of her family with Jumin into her life, and other times nothing would be changed in the slightest. That human that popped in and out of her life was always kind and very sweet. 

Whether they seemed to be close to Jumin or not... and Elizabeth liked their company as it happened. She was picky about her humans... Seven wasn’t her favorite human because he was always too affectionate and never listened to her warning hiss. 

Zen was nice but he always skittered away before she could see him. Yoosung was a nice boy who always brought her a treat! Jaehee was easy to tease and torment for fun. Jihyun was always kind enough to give her a gentle nudge. Now and again, she would interact with someone that looked like Seven but treated her kindly... 

However, her favorite was Jumin, of course, who always understood her heart and her needs. 

But you... the newest human that she had come to know, you were something special. Yet, you seemed to be trapped. The days that were the same that you lived over and over again did not seem to phase you, and every time you met for the hundredth time, you would seem like it was the first. It didn’t make any sense but—

Perhaps, time was skewed because she was simply a cat. 

She wasn’t sure what her humans were going through in their lives because they kept rounding the same problems and the same issues. No amount of nudging her head against Jumin’s hand when he was talking about the same problem that he had been the last time did much to change things at hand. 

She knew all he was to say... 

But, he would never know that because she was a cat. A few mews didn’t do all that much for them in the way of understanding. it hurt to see her humans so distressed and upset. There wasn’t much she could do, but she did settle by Jumin’s side when a weight hung heavy on his chest. 

So I’ve sort of had this theory in my head for a long time now (years actually) and I just decided to actually write it down. Bare with me, I don’t know how to use tumblr and there will be alot of screenshots.

Keep in mind this theory integrates other theories: The Reset Theory where the game is a time loop and each route in the game is a seperate timeline, certain characters retaining their memories. The Cheritz Multiverse Theory is that Mystic Messenger is connected to Chertiz's previous games: Dandelion and Nameless. There were other posts made about these theories and I highly recommend reading them, especially MeliZbeauty’s theories on YouTube, to have a better idea on what I’m talking about.

I have to preface that It's been so long since I’ve played certain parts of the game so if I got something wrong, please let me know! (spoilers for the Valentine’s Day and April Fool’s DLC and possibly more). 

Something was nagging at the back of your mind. Like a warning. Nothing immediately sprang to mind. Were you forgetting something.

And suddenly you knew. Your eyes widened in shock. ‘I’m no longer needed...’ This is both a happy and terrible realization. They face you smiling and what fear you had ebbs away. ‘As long as you’re happy.’

They may not remember and that is okay. You will remember for them. ‘I’ll always be here, as long as you need me.’
