Hell as a model for part of Madotsuki's brain/neural pathways PrincessOfTheCrystal!!obmwuy7s1A 02/22/13 (Fri) 05:08:31 No.1363

Didn't want to post this in the other thread; but who things that "Hell" is meant to represent some kind of neural pathway? It's red to represent the brain's bloods vessels and the circular blobs remind me of blood cells. In the zoomed out map, it looks like that, only squarer since it's SNES RPG style.

To me this makes sense since it sort of links a bunch of seemingly random places together - without a more "symbolic" transition Madotsuki delves deeper into her brain to make these connections.

I think the "crossroads" and the ghost could mean that death is actually a particularly deep-seated fear she has, or perhaps you're actually meeting her "id" or something like that.

Hell has that kind of feeling of being somehow "deeper" than all the other areas in YN, like it's some kind of underlying support structure. Kind of like when you escape out of the testing area in Portal. It has a certain consistency and repetitive nature to it that the other areas don't have.

I think Hell represents the lowest level, or a lower level of Madotsuki's subconscious, one close to a more direct neural rather than psychological level. Of course, a bunch of random stuff still pops up there, since because.
