Sometimes I Feel Sad That In Rain World, In The Greater Story Of The Iterators, They Never Have A Happy

Sometimes I feel sad that in rain world, in the greater story of the iterators, they never have a happy ending. You can play every campaign as many times as you’d like, and that fact never changes. Both Pebbles and Moon end up in a terrible situation, rotting away in their own corpses all alone until they slowly die from their systems decaying. The best you can do is ascend them as Saint, but is that really a happy ending? Putting them out of their misery through mercy killing them? Not even to mention the possibility of Saint’s campaign not even being real.

What really gets me though, is that even if the events prior to the game never took place, Five Pebbles never got the golden pearl and never made the rot and Moon never collapsed due to his water usage, they would STILL be in the same place! Eventually they would still inevitably be left to decay, all alone, unable to contact anyone else, just waiting to die. Because that’s the horrible fate of every iterator. There is basically nothing they can do to prevent it from happening, all they can hope to do is slow it down, but eventually they all end up the same. Alone and miserable.
