V is a Gift
some discourse, watch out because major fucking spoilers ahead, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T PLAYED SECRET ENDINGS AND V ROUTE!
Rika and V’s Relationship:
people get a lot of things wrong about their relationship so i decided to include it
Rika has been obsessed with this metaphor of “light” and “dark” ever since she met V at his art gallery, as shown in Secret Ending 2 when Rika said this:
this whole “sun and darkness” started with RIKA. i will further explain this after i get one thing straight:
V did NOT make her stop going to her therapist, he encouraged her to continue seeing a professional!
the bottom two pictures show that even though V was obsessed with Rika (as Rika was obsessed with V -ill explain later-) he still cared about her, truly, and she wasnt just some ‘thing’ to him
now im going to talk about how Rika and V were obsessed with each other, mutually
Rika wanted to be saved. in fact, in their conversation in Secret Ending 3, she tells him she wants to be saved twice. and V thinks he can save her. he says that he can be her sun and try to wash her fears away, and she lets him. but… she even questions if it is love or not
(first two pictures is of rika asking V to save her, then it leads to v saying he will save her, rika letting him, and then questioning if it is love or not then saying that it must be )
Rika wants V to save her. V wants to save Rika. V tries over and over to save her. Rika is darkness, V is the light. And in Another Story V Route, Rika is testing V’s love the entire time, because she doesnt think she will still love him after all of this. Thats why she freaks out when he finally lets her go, says it was obsession. she wants that ideal love. she wants to be saved.
which makes sense, because neither of them have ever truly experienced love. Rika didnt even experience it with Yoosung, because she doesnt even show her true self ( her *darkness*) to him. she says in Secret Ending 3,“ I feel disgusted that I have to hide myself and wear this mask. I hate that even in front of Yoosung, I have to seem bright and so fake…”
and yes, even though they both had this toxic ideal of saving of being saved, Rika is the one who took advantage of V’s selflessness. she blinded him, created a cult, poisoned him - all to test his ‘love’
this is why V is so guilty. he believed it was his job to save Rika with his love, which Rika WANTED, but in the end… Rika doesnt want to be saved
that moves us to our next subject
Selfless
V is selfless
he doesn’t want to get the RFA involved because he is ashamed and guilty
also, there is this saying that you fix what you break. deal with your problems yourself. V probably had this mindset. he thought he could deal with Rika himself, because he thought it was HIS problem, and didnt want to bother anyone else
also Rika wanted all of them to join her cult, so thats another reason
in addition - he didnt want to contact authorities and get Rika in trouble because he thought this whole mess was because of HIM, he thought it was all his fault
( but guess what? its not )
enough of the RFA and Rika, more about MC
he tries to rescue you TWICE
t w i c e
and the second time, he got locked the fuck up and nearly died
even after nearly dying, after coming back to his senses kind of, he asks if you are okay
thats the first thing he asks you
even before that, during the first few days of Another Story, he constantly wonders if you are okay
also, during the last days of V Route, V repeatedly tells Rika to take him instead and leave the other members alone
he tries to sacrifice himself to keep you and the rest of the RFA safe
no matter what anyone says, he truly does care for the RFA
he hides all of his secrets from them with the best intentions
he may be flawed, but every character is
the point of Mystic Messenger is to help them grow
you help Jaehee gain courage to open her own cafe and quit her job she dislikes
you help Jumin deal with his emotions and his unhealthy possisive trait
you help all of them, and you are able to see them grow
at the end of V Route, V is happy, and is in a healthy relationship with you
before V Route even ended, Rika said this:
she admitted that she would have never done that for him
Even Ray/Saeran is flawed
its implied that he raped you in Sevens bad ending
its called character development! people grow and learn!
i used to think gays are going to hell but guess what, i realized i am gay!
before i drop this, i need to confront Rika lovers who blame her actions on her mental illness.
Rika + Mental Illness
mental illness doesnt excuse what she did
MENTAL ILLNESS DOESNT EXCUSE WHAT SHE DID
if a serial killer has psychosis, are you going to defend him? are you going to say oh, he has a mental disorder, so its okay!
if a guy who raped a child has pedophilia, are you going to excuse him because he has a disorder?
my dad has several mental disorders, and abused my mom for several years before their divorce. are you going to tell me that his abuse is justified? because if you are im going to fucking slap you back to that fucking womb you came from until you grow the fuck up
Rika knows this. she knows she fucked up. she doesnt even defend herself. on day 10 in a conversation with Yoosung she talks about it and doesnt defend herself.
in addition, just a note i would like to add:
V didnt force Rika to 'commit suicide’
if she wanted to, she could have went to Jumins house or even Yoosungs house
anyones house
she could have called them and said that she isnt dead
she even says this :
so
thats it
i love jihyun kim please understand him and appreciate him
