VK's Treasure Chest

This is an illustration I created for a Vocaloid exhibition in Mexico City. It's based on the song "Leia" by Yuyoyuppe-P, using Luka as the character. It's inspired by Millais' painting "Ophelia" and the Cinematic Remix version of the song.

A copy of my release order Evillious index for people on mobile who can’t see the page.

Note: This list now includes installments from mothy’s E.A.T. series, and is not exclusively about Evillious content.

Final illustration! I love her....Queen...

If a court lady won’t let her, most—if not all—of the top concubines at a given moment would have her back

If the concubines don’t have jurisdiction she just has to think about the concept of family dinner in the vicinity of her bio dad and he’ll abuse his major political power to fit her whims

If it’s beyond his political maneuvering she could link pinkies with the crown prince and he’d beg to move mountains for her

I painted this 12 years ago but it is more relevant than ever today.

The chapter starts by confirming what was already expected from the end of chapter 120- That Kou and Sousuke's corpses are within the well. A heavy air sets in, as Teru is despaired and Nene is in disbelief.

However, as I previously predicted, "It" is not just going to let them off when they're all right next to the well.

His innocent act is betrayed by his slight grin when he asks what they're doing in a place like this, indicating exactly what I predicted earlier. However, his act is also betrayed by the stench of blood, which is immediately picked up by Teru, who attacks him in pure rage. Unlike his previous encounters with Hanako, his hits are emotionally charged.

Teru's dehumanization

The entire scene of Teru unleashing his wrath upon him unfolds, with Nene, Akane and Aoi witnessing in utter shock (with Akane even attempting to protect Nene and Aoi from the appalling sights) how he's slashed and cut non-lethally with blood spraying everywhere on purpose (and only decapitating him at the very end). It's important to note that on the surface, Amane looks completely human. So not only is this a completely gruesome scene for those unaccustomed to violence, like Nene, as seen how the background noise is filled with Nene's shrieks, a completely valid reaction to such sights, this can also be interpreted as a showcase of Teru's dehumanization. It is also a dehumanization of Amane.

It's not the first time Teru attempted to exorcise Hanako, or Amane in this scenario, but it is the first time he does it out of pure hatred towards him. Up until now, it was more out of disgust towards supernaturals, his duty to exterminate them, and generally a disgust towards Hanako himself generated by his mindset and history.

He generally dehumanizes supernaturals, who can be just as morally complicated as humans with the same intense feelings, thoughts and desires. Amane in this scenario is no different- Teru dehumanizes him: "You're dressing yourself up in human skin", "Did you pretend to be human?"

It's easy for Teru to dehumanize supernaturals- It gives him the justification to exterminate them. It's exactly this dehumanization of others that dehumanizes himself: He's only capable of harming supernaturals by dehumanizing them, it's how he does his job. But where can the line be drawn? At what point does he cease being "human" himself, considering his own cruelty he's capable of?

Amane's dehumanization

As we know from chapter 120, Amane, like Kou, is a victim of the Red House, a trapped soul who is unable to disobey. But Amane's different from Kou. Kou was glad he didn't have to suffer the same fate as Amane, that he didn't have to kill like Amane did.

Amane talks of how he had to sacrifice even his own family, and as the Tsukasa we saw was only a small child, it's likely that Amane was forced by the Red House from a similar age. Amane and Tsukasa's positions are now reversed, but worse.

Having to kill his own family, his own little brother he loved so much, and then being forced into killing countless other people for "It" desensitized him completely.

Something so cruel as taking an innocent person's life is normalized. It's now a normal, forgettable occurence to him as a result of overexposure to cruelty and suffering. Teru does not have to dehumanize Amane anymore, as he was already long dehumanized by the pit god- He adopted a stance where he can't see meaning in anything anymore.

People die here. In his eyes, it's a general truth with no meaning behind it. It's just how things are. The House, or "It", seems to be nothing more than a being that lives to eat. Trapped souls are meant to bring in prey, then Amane, assigned as the Feeder, is the one with the obligation to hunt and feed the House with it. His own family was no exception. Such is the tragic fate of an imprisoned soul.

Considering the manner of speech, it would seem that this god's possession isn't "possession" in its truest meaning, a different entity controlling the host- but more like a parasite that dictates the mindset and goals of the victim. This would explain Tsukasa's behavior in a more clear manner. The victim is still themselves to an extent, but "corrupted" and forced to comply with the parasite's views, whims and demands.

The happiness he talked about in earlier chapters is something he knows isn't real, but is forced to believe it is. Despite him never finding happiness, he has to claim that he and every person he killed found it. It is beyond his control, and it's as if he gave up after decades of imprisonment and coercion.

The Sacrifice

It isn't really hard to miss, but Akane was caught by Amane.

Aoi bought time for Nene to get the tentacle off him, but his leg is already affected. Aoi asks Akane to get away, but Akane is unable to at this time- He's dragging his leg and he's limping. Running away with Nene is impossible and he would just drag her down with him.

As a result, he considered that it's a more sensible choice for him to send Nene ahead with his clock and the Yorishiro and stay behind with Aoi, who is fending off Amane and buying time, and Teru, who was knocked down by him.

Akane did not believe in his own survival, otherwise he wouldn't have given Nene such important items and shouting at her to get going without them- And this is set in with Akane convincing her to go on ahead with him later apologizing after she told him to come after her.

Aoi was truly the mvp during all this, as she managed to buy this much time for Nene to get away. However, it is understandable that she couldn't fight forever, and luckily, she's unharmed. But Akane isn't.

Akane taking the sword was his hope that the one other person that's unharmed can escape, as he knew he's done for. But seeing Aoi's determination, he understood and gave up on the idea. All three of them will likely lose their lives.

He's unable to run and he's infected by the curse that is able to possess him. So if anything, his death shouldn't be in vain and he should do something to help before it's too late. Of course, he would survive if he is able to defeat "It", but that is so highly unlikely you might as well cross it off the list.

The last thing we see of them is Teru (judging by the bracelet on the wrist) saving Nene at the last second, hitting the entire house with lightning. This solidifies Aoi being the mvp this chapter, since it would seem she succeeded in waking Teru up. However, their fates are now unknown.

Conclusions

Nene is under immense stress and pressure. Not only did she witness horrifying events that definitely traumatized her, everyone's lives now depend on her.

If she does not succeed in bringing back the previous timeline, everyone will have died and suffered for nothing and they would never return. She no longer has someone to support and help her. There's no Kou, there's no Akane, there's no Aoi, there's no Teru, and there's no Hanako for her to call for help. She's now by herself. She has to save everyone alone.

This chapter perfectly set up Aoi, Akane and Teru's deaths perfectly, yet whether they're alive or not remains unknown. This, combined with Akane's assertion that "It" can follow them to the school and now knowing about the big clock that can govern time, it's entirely possible we might see them again as nothing but "It"'s puppets used to give Nene a false sense of security to make her fail.
