Weirdest misconception about Ei?
There are A LOT of misconception about Ei because media literacy is dead
But this one is definitely take the cake because it's directly stated in game, yet people still confused about it
"Ei wasn't lonely and just being alone". NO, Ei is something way way worse than lonely that no word can describe it.
First, she only did it because at that point, she believed it was the only way
Second, as someone who is an introvert, yes introvert can be lonely. I don't know why people think they can't. Social interaction tiring them but having a close companion by your side would help increase your mood greatly. No need to talk or interact just being by your side is enough.
Third, I can't imagine a worst hell that solitude. In fact, most people would go crazy after 3 days of being in solitude with literally nothing or anyone to interact with. Ei's mental strength has to be insanely strong because she doesn't go crazy after centuries.
