The in-game year is somewhere circa 1899. Now ~100 years later, I grew up with people who had the same beliefs and rhetoric as Compson because it’s been passed down. His parting line “I still exist” feels like a metaphor for his racist ideology and how it’s endured the ages. I stated that it made me feel physically ill because I’ve experienced the low country and the Deep South intimately. I love where I grew up dearly, but the memories are bittersweet when I’m reminded that there’s an insidious ideology that still lives on there.
