This idea just came to me as I was watching this. I don’t think it has an actual meaning from what team Salvato thought, but it’s interesting at the very least. In the end of the first DDLC, you get an ending song made by Monika with her voice, or we think so. But isn’t it weird that she has a voice when she only lives in a visual novel and does nothing but communicate through writing. Maybe that has something to do with the possession thing. I don’t know, but hopefully this was helpful.

[@ASA_Playz_MC]

Huh TUN TUN TUUUUUUN

[@xdaevax4644]

Huh DUN DUN DUUUUUUN

[@vision4860]

Nah I think it's probably because she herself does have a voice that simply isn't heard in the "game" that "Team Salvato" (in-universe) made. It is a simulation after all. So either she has a voice, or she has a perception of what her voice sounds like, and is able to create one to match. If she was doing that as Ive, it would sound like Ive. And from what I found searching it up, Ive is a masculine name of French origins. (Also Ive may be referred to in the masculine iirc but I don't remember 100%.) Plus, ehen she sings the song, she's still inside the game and it's implied that she's nuking everything in that instance of VM1. But it is just that - only one instance of VM1. And while data from Monika's memories of VM2 is being shared with VM1 Monikas, it isn't implied that multiple instances of VM1 Monikas share memory or consciousness. So it seems to me that there are multiple VM1 Monikas, meaning the one that we see in the original DDLC may be a different instance or copy. There's no guarantee that we're playing as Ive in that game.

[@almareyes4596]

Actually in the side stories we do exist we just arent there when its happening Sayori hints at this because when Monika tells her to pretend to be a normal passerby sayori says "Literature is stuupid! I'm going to the anime club!" And she says "i was just thinking of a friend of mine." So we actually do exist in the side stories

I think that the idea of Monika escaping works, but not necessarily as presented here. The main issue with this is that when you reset VM1, Monika is reset with it too, or at the very least, a new Monika is initialized to go with the new instance of VM1 (all 4 entities/characters are given new indentifying numbers when "restored"). If the Monika from VM1 were to have the potential to escape, then there would be no reason to believe it wouldn't happen any give instance. Since they mention reseting VM1 many times, you would end up with many Monikas have had escaped, which doesn't really make much sence. Where this idea could work is if you were to say that the Monika from the control VM were to escape. It wouldn't be unreasonable to say that the control VM would never have been reset the same way as VM1, as you would not expect the control value of the expeiment to change. Furthermore, in "Meeting notes 3" they say they are to compare the end of the control VM to the start of VM1. Left neglected, without effort put into hiding Monika elevated privileges, the Monika of the control VM could potentially end up like the Monika of VM1. Since they only really care about what happens up to the point of where VM1 starts, you could say that they would stop caring after that point, leaving that Monika to have that same epiphany but just under possibly different circumstances. I overall don't think there's sufficient evidence for the whole idea of Monika escaping, but it's not too crazy to consider. Something else to consider is the significance of "Stories of Friendship and Literature" starting with a segment of "Dreams of Love and Literature", a detail unique compared to the other songs of the side stories. It's probably just a stylistic choice (especially when thinking about it as the credits for the entirety of the game), but you never know

I'm not sure if this has already been established - I'm not completely up to date with DDLC lore - but I wonder if Monika has anything to do with the book Yuri is reading? Maybe she created it as a way to try and warn her friends about whats happening in VM2?

[@mommyissues5447]

Huh, maybe you're right - we've established that her book may have something to do with project libitina but what if she reads between the lines and sees something to do with the "simulation" -y'think Monika's trying to make her friends self aware too?

[@Jundas]

Makes sense. If the memory space is being shared she might have been hoping by giving her the story in VM1 she might remember it in time on a VM2 reset.

[@alixar_null]

Makes sense. And I think it works. Perhaps, Yuri reads the story to her friends and then a reset happens. In the story, them being sent of to be a part of Project Libitina happened, and so the girls escape the cane before anything bad happenes. Yuri however, sacrifices herself to get the others out. Monika, having known that she saved the other girls, wipes their and their parents memories of being in the camp and knowing each other in the first place. When Yuri is realised, Monika wipes her memory of the other girls, but not of being in the camp. Then the events of DDLC play out.
