My thirteenth reason is the fact robot Charlie in the trilogy always asked herself, “Does it hurt?” because her father’s agony integrated it into her mind. Chances are he repeated that as a mantra to himself given that Henry desperately wanted to know if Charlie was at rest, if it didn’t hurt; being dead.

Because the story doesn’t use, did, but rather uses, does, I somewhat take this as how suicidal people mainly don’t usually focus on the pain of dying, but on the peacefulness of death. Though, I imagine both questions did rack his mind quite a bit, as he definitely made suicide bot, taking it into count that he wanted to share the same pain as his daughter.

And after Henry died, Charlie connected the phrase to Henry and suicide bot, carrying the burden of her dad’s own guilt. But, as Charlie also pushed this onto her brother as well and clung to the idea of him being alive like a lifeline, she would imitate her dad’s obsession of her life as well. Her life was really just stages of the grief her father went through, and it breaks my heart...

The reason robot Charlie dies to suicide bot at the end, is because that was Henry’s moment of acceptance of his daughter’s death, which is right after Charlie learned of her brother still being alive. After that, the woman at the end of the book is probably the stage of grief, Henry never made—the life after acceptance, the days when she would stop chasing after the memory of her brother and father.

And baby Charlie doodle cause I hate her!! /lh someone needa tell me that i don’t sound crazy saying all this, cause i certainly FEEL crazy

thinking about Michael’s lack of autonomy.

He is constantly surrounded by motifs that he is not in full control of his own destiny. He looks like his father and is cursed to follow in his bloody footsteps. He served as a useful tool to William, going down to the sister location bunker only to get his organs scooped out to be used as a skin suit by a robot. He doesn’t ever catch a break. Even in his “afterlife” he is bound and determined to do something to help the situation he think he caused.

Michael Afton, like we see in his own reflection, is a shadow. A shadow in the narrative of the series. He isn’t even given a chance to speak 90% of the time. What we do hear of him is bleak. He’s worn down. He’s tired. And yet he keeps going.

I used to not like the decision for Michael to stay behind in the burning building of pizza simulator. But after reflection it really does feel like Michael’s biggest choice of autonomy in the whole series.

He didn’t mean to kill his brother.

He likely didn’t want to do his father’s bidding but felt compelled to.

He likely also felt bound (and responsible) to “undo” the damage done. (Why would someone keep coming BACK to a place where he knew he could be KILLED?? For a bad paycheck? I don’t think so.)

Michael chose to stay because it was the first real CHOICE he’s made in a very long time.

He could’ve dragged his decaying corpse behind out of that building. We know this.

Do I necessarily agree with his decision as the best course of action? No. But to me it feels like an emotional response—something that people DO.
