Theory time: Basically, Ina wanted to recreate the universe using observation theory so she created a website which kidnaps people to torture them to attract attention from their suffering. She succeeded in drawing watchers as shown in episode 2 (Calli's eye ball scooping is unrelated, she's just always been a yandere). After confirming that she drew watchers from the idol mutilations, Ina decided to continue with her experiments on mutations to see how many more watchers she can draw. Eventually this leads to the events of episode 3 here where by sheer coincidence, Kronii is injected with the mutation serum which gives (or activates) her time powers. So when she rewinds time, it's now with the weight of all of these watchers so their reality adjusts itself to one where it makes sense for them to be watched. Like say, v-tubers.

[@akedus44]

@@akira8393 Basically, Ina's experiments have caused "watchers" to start looking into their reality more closely. Bae who is well known for being a jumpy and easily scared rat senses the presence of these watchers watching her and it drives her into crazed paranoia. Callie in this reality is a yandere for Bae so she sought to "solve" Bae's problem by scooping out everyone's eyeballs, including herself.

[@MinersLoveGames]

"Ophanim". A name in the bible occasionally used to refer to angels. Sometimes also referred to as **"The Many-Eyed One."** Taking into account Ina's explanation of the Observation Effect, the Watchers that tormented Bae, and the vanishings that drove Gura, Fauna, and Amelia to the brink of madness, whatever they were trying to attract worked. I mean, we're here, aren't we? We watched, because cruelty really is the best attractor, isn't it (Notice that she's looking *right at the audience* as she says this)? How many times have we read a story, watched a show, because of the hurt the characters go through? Now what if the characters became aware of that? Well here we are. Even though it's all seemingly fixed in the end, the fact that Kronii, Mumei, and Ina seem to recall what happened just leaves this worrying unease in the air, this unaddressed question. What if it happens again? Bravo to Fauna and the rest of the girls for putting all this together. It's wonderfully horrifying, and I hope we get something like this again next year.

[@Nothingseen]

If anyone's sleeping on Fauna I hope they're not anymore. She made a bunch of themed horror shorts around a vital message in the internet era: being an audience is not a neutral act. What we watch has consequences not just for us, but for what we're watching. Hololive, and the vtubing phenomenon as a whole, is a very positive example of the power of audiences. We've seen lots of people find out wonderful things about themselves and be encouraged to creatively build bridges between people. But it's been so refreshing because it's a point of light in an endless void of darkness. People getting audiences they shouldn't for doing things they shouldn't and making the world an objectively worse place for everyone, including themselves, is what we've mostly seen. Take your pick at what you can get mad at; destructive tiktok trends, twitter swarms, conspiracy theories, radicalization, Nico Avocado... it's endless. But we have a choice. We have to remember that.

These episodes are masterpieces. Biiiig props to Fauna and everyone that worked on this

[@Claymore729]

"WE were the ones that put the girls through hell." Only incidentally. We didn't do anything; in fact, we specifically weren't even important. Ina was trying to get someone, anyone, to watch -- I'm not entirely clear as to what she wanted to change, but converting Mumei was the final stroke of her pen. She just wanted eyes, and got ours. Mumei apparently had other ideas, though, and used Kronii as a desperate gambit to set things right.

[@arc_boi]

Yeah. It didn’t seem like it mattered who would play the role of observers. It just so happened that we were the ones attracted by Ina’s plans which gives it an extra layer of chills imo. I don’t think Ina had any solid evidence that there would even be an observer to attract in the first place, which would mean her cruel experiments would’ve been all for nothing

[@commenter4898]

The Observer Effect: A simple act of observation can change reality. You know this sounds awfully similar to what "The Watcher" does.

How interesting that these seem to make a connection with one another...

[@Yeenuu]

Oh man, what a ride to this conclusion. I really didn't know what to expect when it all started but damn did it go dark. Fauna killed it with her writing and all the girls really brought the whole story to life with their voice acting. The illustrations too are just chef's kiss, they nailed both how cute everyone is and how scary it can be to see that cuteness distorted. Kronii's voice acting really is protagonist level here, I was instantly pulled into the story. Mumei previously mentioned she thought her voice acting wasn't good but she really nailed her parts. Ina's normally calm voice really adds to the creepiness of the mad scientist. I like there's an overall arc but that there's a lot of mystery left in the air, a perfect way to bookend a Halloween story in my eyes (lol). I hope Hololive do more stuff like this.

The most haunting of the three stories, and a world that could be easily expanded upon in the future. Fantastic job to everyone involved, and I hope to see more special installments like these in the future.

Ina at the end "You'll still watch, won't you?" and her giggle is way too cute

[@Andyroo_512]

Everyone did so good on every level, these were so cool to watch! I would love for Fauna to get the opportunity to write some more, this was a real treat!

[@lucun_]

Dang Fauna. Now that was an awesome plot twist! I really liked how all of these short scary stories were great alone, but were all tied together into one whole masterpiece

[@neoshinji18]

This only makes me wonder all the horrors Kronii and Ame had had to witness in the countless timelines they have seen or experienced. Being in contact with the power of time is truly a heavy burden.

[@MisterRhyeOfficial]

For the people here, I think that maybe in general terms we could say that the “villian” is Ina, or in better words the Ancient Ones that are always behind Ina; and at the same time the spectator of these videos, and I realized that after finally seeing the 3 chapters at one time, at first sight that's why we had seeing nothing related on the first two chapters The Ancient Ones and Ina maybe were forged in this Universe to be the "hand" for a weapon...and the ravenous, devouring weapon/entity trapped in their story were - and always had been - us. A kind of paradox shattered with Mumei, thats why she told Kronii to fix this So - in this story were our terrible destiny - to play out this purgatorial entity for all eternity... Also congratulations to Fauna for being an awesome writter :3

[@tanvoltz4623]

Ready for a bone chilling time. If the teaser is anything to go by this might be even more terrifying that the last one

[@tobiasdahmen8583]

Thank you Fauna and Hololive for bringing this fantastic series to life! I would not mind seeing more like this!

[@painpeko8805]

Thanks everyone for putting this series together and big thanks to Fauna for creating and directing it! This was so amazing and I hope COVER can do more projects like this!

[@JarenceThatShowerGuy]

Ina being the mad scientist behind Mumei turning into a monster....DAMN. She really rocked the antagonistic element, especially when she explained the Observer Effect to Kronii. Her performance really gave me chills. I also enjoyed Kronii and Mumei's VAing here. The ending really gave me a sense of appreciation that our idols...have this world as an outcome. ;3 WHAT A FITTING third episode to the Holloween stories!!! Congrats to FAUNA for writing these amazing masterpieces!! Hopefully they continue this series, because I can't wait for the next Holloween episodes next year! 💜🤎💙

[@Drail.]

The grand Finale. Great Job Fauna with your writing 💚💚💚

[@SlimSKim13]

Well done, Fauna. Conveying the Vtuber experience through these shorts in such a creative way that cuts into the soul...that's really strong. Really cool! I loved all three of these, even in spite of being a self-proclaimed wimp when it comes to horror. I hope we can see more of your stories going forward: your writing's great! Good work on all involved to tell and show these shorts. Pats on the back and drinks for all!

[@shryggur]

🍪 🍒 🌭 I like how Ina, that wholesome pack of cookies, turned out to be villain-y both here and in the fan-made story. PS: she rember! 🦉

[@HappyTheYorkie]

Mumei: Kronii..fix this And then the two become lovey-dovey birds and live happily never after ❤

[@alexkemplen772]

What a perfect way to end such a thrilling series. Episode 2 was by far the scariest imo.

[@DestronGaming]

Ive got nothing to say. I'm in sheer awe. These 3 stories were surprisingly DEEP

[@takonaegi2967]

Well, Fauna really love reading a lot of deep and convoluted stories. But writing and reading doesn't necessary correlate, so this was pleasant surprise for me either how this stories turned out.

[@KoyaHarmony17]

Oh man, Kronii's voice acting, and the way they did the voice acting are on FIREEEE!!!!!! I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!

[@bleyk36]

I agree on some parts of their voice acting but I will take it, mainly because it took me by surprise that they are voice acting fauna's story and damn I was blown away with gura, bae, and ina's amazing voice acting.

[@KoyaHarmony17]

@@bleyk36 Me too!

[@bibabou6970]

Its well written it's so good i wont breathe until fauna releases other stories

[@Paltoko]

I hope hololive continues to produce the stories Fauna writes 🙏

[@opportunity-kfpairlines6716]

Ina's dialogue and delivery are absolutely phenomenal

[@toastedbreadbeat4868]

I don't comment on videos, but this series was truly fantastic. Thank you Fauna and everyone else involved for making a truly gripping story.

[@antique6503]

My brain is overheating over all of these.. These are awesome, Nice Job with this, Fauna and all others!

[@jamesglosangeles]

Ina's voice acting has improved so much since Umisea.

[@issackaiser]

Never thought I would feel this terrified from Mumei singing. Fauna has written absolutely amazing series of stories and everyone absolutely nailed their part.

[@krisskrossr]

fauna's writing in all of these were amazing
