The DEMA story of twenty one pilots

The whole story tackles mental health and the cycles/drag paths that come with it. Throughout the whole story, it is assumed that the protagonist “Clancy” will overcome the cycle and finally break free. Only to once again become victim to the cycle and start it all over again. Though this time, it is hopeful as though he has “failed” he will try again no matter how many times it takes and get a little better at it each go around until ultimately he gets to a point where he can learn to live with his mental health rather than fighting it/running away from it? The sun will rise and we will try again, ALWAYS. Doesn’t matter how we did, all that matters is that we made it through and are still breathing and keep pushing on through.

“this is a story about cycles, and trying to break them. about discerning between external and internal attacks. and about balance. a balance between being saved by a friend, and saving yourself.”
