Official translation VS fan translation. And I LOOOOOOVE the official one. Shows why Melon assumed his mom ate his dad.

After your philosophy post, I started to wonder: isn't Melon's mom kinda... similar to Riz? How they cope with having murdered their loved ones is pretty alike.

Oh, absolutely. I believe Riz and Mama Melon are classic predator offenders.

Instead of trying to take responsibility for what they did, they choose to act like nothing happened. And when they DO think about it, they sugarcoat it. Riz convinces himself that it was an act of friendship, Melon’s mom think of it as something romantic.

Melon’s mom shows the result of ignoring your sins: You get a shallow life where you do all you can to “outshout” the past, like(in Mama Melon’s case) creating a nice little fantasy castle and never leave it. But it is not really a solution, as shown since Melon’s mom constantly considered eating her own child.

Thank you for the ask. Big fan of yours.
