Last time, I put forward a theory about TT, and I would like to supplement what was not included there.
I can't say that this is the second part, but I've collected a few more notes. In fact, as I went through the game over and over and over again, I noticed more and more references, suggestive of different thoughts, if you can call it that. The only conclusion I came to is that Neko is a genius, hah... because even from the fifth time there are doubts that u understood what was happening correctly...
It's still a mystery to us what kind of pink tent is in the circus, but nevertheless, the fools are also dressed in pink and it may be appropriate just with this. If TT was the person in the cafe who gave us the pink ticket (this is an assumption, we don't know for sure), then the pink ticket is the right to enter the pink tent.
If we follow a scenario where we are open to suggestions, then in any case we encounter TT on day 2.
After we bump into Carol, we talk to TT. He doesn't believe our words, offering to escort us to the exit, but he points in the other direction. Did he suggest that we go to the pink tent? Why? And to better understand the answer to this question, you need to ignore Pierrot at the beginning of the game. (It was so difficult for me.. my sweetheart...)
In this scenario, we only get a pink ticket at the cafe, and we have no way to refuse. At the entrance, we are also told that this is a special ticket, but eventually, once in the pink tent, we are eliminated.
In addition, we won't see the eyes in the cafe, and we'll miss the scene with the lights going out and the shadow appearing in the window. In my opinion, this is because if we didn't pay attention to Pierrot at the beginning, we didn't draw attention to ourselves either, because we passed as if nothing had happened.
It turns out that we are being watched only in the case of interaction. Nevertheless, the person in the cafe (presumably TT) gives us a ticket to go to the pink tent, where we will be eliminated. Thank you, isn't that rude?(just kidding).
If he saw that we were paying attention to Pierrot, he could have done it as a preventive measure so that things didn't go too far. But we have the option not to accept the ticket, thereby causing consequences, including the appearance of eyes in the cafe.
So when we met with Carol, he invited us to go to the pink tent, because we saw too much. He even told Pierrot that the MC looked like they'd found out about the part of the circus they weren't showing. These were his attempts not only to observe us, but also to protect the territory from the possible threat that we potentially pose to the circus.
He might also have wanted to do this to us because we were Carol's colleagues, were close to her, and might have suspected something was wrong. Although it seems a little strange to me, because targeting two people from the same place would not be very logical... Boss would probably be upset / :(
Pay attention to TT's eyes. I missed it in the previous post, but it's his other eye (the shadow side) that lights up when he talks to us. I think this is also an indicator of the possible ability it activates, and a confirmation of the previous theory. His eye literally lights up and goes out immediately when Pierrot approaches. (I think Pierrot also wanted to make it clear that we're his, that he's watching over us, and that we're harmless in a way, I don't know if that's the right way to put it.) Is this a hint that he uses the other eye only in certain situations or not? I don't know...
And he also asked Pierrot, "Is she with you?". My omission in the last post. But! He told him to give us a ticket or he would offer his own. No, he will have to! Which again refers us to the fact that if we hadn't come to the circus again, after seeing what was happening, we wouldn't just have aroused suspicion, we would have been a walking problem.
I was also attracted by the scene with the black tent. It's probably some kind of common room or a place where they gather, but I'm not sure. At first, I had a hunch that it might have been related to other monsters altogether, as the crowd looks strange and their eyes... But I don't think that's really the case. Even if I faintly marked the black tent as a dining room with a pencil. (JK again)
Eventually, we see their tickets and TT watches closely to make sure we don't enter. By the way, Pierrot is watching us from afar, as promised, which in my opinion may also indicate that he does not need a shadow for these purposes. He could look at us calmly through the window in the cafe (which he did) and not use the illusion with his eyes.
Ahem, sorry, I got distracted. So what are we talking about? Yes, the black tent. We find Jester and TT talking, where they are obviously discussing a bag, the reference is most likely to the news on the first day and about the missing woman, whose belongings were found... And suddenly they turn and look at us. I'm sure that since they're not human, they have heightened senses, they probably see, hear, and smell better, but I also assume that at that moment they found out that we were near the tent in another way.
I can't think of a better way to describe their relationship, but I have a suspicion that they can use their powers in tandem, perhaps both Jester and TT have a deep connection with the circus not as a place, but as something alive.
Later, in the purple tent, Jester and MC will talk, and as I mentioned, he will ask for our ticket, as if he doesn't know what color it is. And he will say that he noticed a shadow above us, although if we assume that he saw us from a black tent, then what was it for?
Let's go back to TT's tent. He said that mirrors show more than they should, and here it is worth noting the mirror with Pierrot. At the moment of his monologue, we can see a shadow with golden eyes appear (the one that Jester saw, the one that we saw in the comic).
We also hear "I see you," which is presumably what the shadow is saying. But what's going on here? Is this shadow hostile? Or is the shadow trying to protect us? Or maybe it's not talking to us, but to Pierrot? But if the shadow is connected to him, then why is he throwing a knife at it? Why is he doing this in the first place? I had an idea that he might have been afraid that the longer we stood in front of the mirror, the more we would see, and he didn't want us to be afraid of his true face or what the shadow was. This is just one of the assumptions.
But could it be a real shadow? Further, in a conversation with TT, you can notice a few more things that raise questions. Was he in those mirrors? Was there a part of him in the mirror during the conversation? And also, when we try to turn around, when we feel that someone or something is touching us, TT says that he cannot hurt us. Because he's not real in front of us, but just an illusion? Or is it because we have a red ticket that closely connects us to Pierrot?
And by the way, the knife was really left in the mirror. Can you say the real Pierrot threw him there, then he was in the tent? Or was it Pierrot's shadow? Oh, it's hard to develop this idea, because there's another broken mirror there... and there are so many branches where there are only questions... Then maybe TT was talking to Pierrot, who was standing behind us? Or just with his shadow, I'll repeat it for the hundredth time, I'm sorry. (What if it was Pierrot in his true (non-human) form? omg I give up)
When we go forward to Columbina's mirror, we will doubt whether it is exactly a mirror.
And then I left again to untangle the tangle of my thoughts, because... Could TT's tent have held back the shadow? Or even shadows, more correctly. What if it's mirrors that give them the ability to look like people? Not without the help of Jester and TT, of course. But I think there really could be something much more confusing than it seems...
Honestly, I had to take a break because it felt like I was looking at a translucent wall, but damn it, I couldn't see what was behind it... Again... as always... And as soon as I thought, "Yeah, so that's how it is!" I immediately thought, "Wait.. Or is it wrong? It's there.. Oh, but it could be like that..." Also, I can't keep quiet and not say that my file was going crazy while I was collecting frames and text... I wish I could pin it here, it was creepy.
Aaand if u have seen theories from someone that reveal my assumptions in more detail, text me, it is very interesting to read! Thanks ^^
