Thinking about how the voice from the radio in radio.signal deep down did love his friend!!!
He doesn’t relish in joy when you accidentally die even commenting, “I hope the pain doesn’t last for much longer. I really hope it doesn’t.”
However the voice is trapped in the radio and desires to be free. So he vicariously lives through his friend. Encouraging the player, his friend, to do whatever he wants regardless of who it hurts because to the voice that’s what being free is.
That’s what the voice does to the player. Constantly put you down to ensure you’re dependent on him because he needs you. Not the other way around.
The desperation in the radio’s voice to please . . . accept him. That you’re so alike! When you’re not.
It’s why the voice has tried so hard to turn his friend into a monster like him. A monster who will hurt anyone in the way of their freedom.
However the player doesn’t want to be like that anymore. He doesn’t want to hurt people. He wants to change, be better and do better. Atone regardless of the consequences.
In the end the voice lacks the ability to understand why his best friend is so happy. So happy that he’s finally going to be arrested and punished for all the crimes he’s committed. That he’s going to be locked away for the rest of his life. Yet he’s smiling.
The player is becoming free in a way the voice will never understand and they finally reach it when turning the radio off.
While the voice will forever remain trapped due to his selfishness and self destructive nature.
In the Ending Sin where you listen to the voice. He even mentions how he will love you forever.
To obtain this toxic dependency it requires the player to give up their freedom. Not the voice’s version of freedom. The player’s version of freedom. The ability to make decisions and do what you believe is right. Regardless of what the voice says.
The voice may love you, but it’s not healthy. That’s why you have to become free from him.
