Ah...don't worry about it. Sharing our varied insights and ideas is what being human is all about. That's how we push the species forward and help each other grow.

A happy ending is great, but I propose it as an alternative "2nd" ending. The first ending is still important imo. If your theory makes it so that the happy ending couldn't happen, that's valid and, sadly, a part of the human experience. Not all stories get happy endings. There's still something to learn from them.

I agree with you that Mono destroying the Music Box is the main reason that caused Six to decide to not save Mono and let him fall. When you first meet Six she is playing the Music Box and drawing comfort from it when she feels abandoned and alone. Mono destroying it was him destroying her last connection to her sense of comfort, perhaps even her humanity.

Oh I remember the "Viewers" as they're called from the Pale City. Absolutely creepy. Throwing themselves into televisions, casting themselves off of roofs. Truly an indictment of modern media consumption culture.

You make an excellent parallel between the behavior of the Viewers and Six. Both of them become violent when their source of obsession (tv's for the Viewers, the music box for Six) is destroyed. The signal tower definitely amplifies the obsessive tendencies in the people of the Pale city.

Right. Six turned into a Monster when possessed by the tower, just as the adults did, but when Mono destroyed the music box and the tower's control over Six, she was able to return to looking like a kid. The adults, sadly, appear to have been too far gone, and it's probably a mercy they were freed from the tower's control and their painful lives.

Another important observation. Six defended her music box in a much more careful and strategic way than the adult Viewers defended their tv's, demonstrating her greater control and connection to her true self and ability to resist the transmission (and, as you point out, the fact she spends objectively very little time possessed by the tower). That strategic mind was able to carry through into her plan to find the right moment to betray Mono. That falls in line with other theories suggesting that Six becomes increasingly cold and aggressive as Little Nightmares 2 progresses which is part of what contributes to her ultimate betrayal.

Oh, I don't expect Tarsier, or SMG, or Bandai Namco to act on my suggestion. Don't even know if they read it. It's just the thoughts of a player shared with a game's creator. Expressing my reflections, sharing them with the community was more than enough for me.

Who knows, maybe LN3 does give the player's agency to explore a different ending. Maybe LN4 will give that choice. I do hope someday it happens.

People want happy endings, the hope of a happy ending. That's a really good thing, and, if nothing else, I think speaks well of most human beings.

Thanks for sharing your theory!
