I really like how Phindoll reacted to ENA's outburst - with care. How he didn't mean to upset her. I wonder what ENA thought of his words

[@poweroftheztars]

Care might be a strong word- Phindoll was certainly taken aback and concerned though. As for what ENA thought of it, it might have been a factor in her calming down between that scene and her next. It's hard to tell because honestly I'm not even entirely sure ENA is sentient in the first place. Definitely possible though.

[@chemicalfuzzy]

Phindoll was one of the coolest characters imo, he’s one of the only ones that wasn’t mean or agressive towards her-he did hit her, but that was part of the ritual. I really hope we’ll get to see all these other ‘NPCs’ again

Fun fact! The binary code in the captions at 6:09 (“00110001 00110000 00110000 00110000 00110000”) translates to 10000. ENA would have had to wait for 10000 years. To be truly honest I don’t know if time applies the same way in the ENA drug-trip induced pixel Picasso realm the same as it does here, in OUR drug-trip induced slightly less pixelly Picasso realm. Is time longer or simply a warped perception of sun positions like us? Do clocks exist there? If yes, then.. yeah ENA. “That’s a lot!”

Standout things from this animation: -This Ena switches between a male & female voice at seemingly random instead Happy speaking with a male voice and Sad speaking with a Sad voice. The text boxes noticeably refer to this Ena with a reversed E, and The Shepard says "Another Ena troublemaker", implying that there are multiple Enas. We also see some Ena corpses flickering into the mannequin bodies at one point. Third, at the end we see Ena's sad half turn from blue to yellow over the course of Ena & Moony's conversation. My personal theory is that this Ena is possibly 'broken' in some manner. -Moony either doesn't care or dosen't realize that Ena's voices aren't matching the personalities anymore. -The grey personality appears to come out when Ena gets too stressed out. Notably the transformation involves the happy half turning into static and exploding out, erasing Ena's face in the process. It also appears that some physical trauma (in this case, Brick Frog kicking Ena) is necessary to exit the grey personality, unlike the previously seen 'blackout' personalities which can possibly be switched by the other personality exerting themselves (in the auction episode, Ena enters her sad blackout/depressed personality, then switches to Happy!Ena, who apologizes to Moony about her depressed outburst). -Moony's hole is capable of closing to hold things, and she also knows how to skateboard. -Judging by Ena's reaction, Moony's transformation at the end is weird even by this universe's standards.

[@yarshmellow2323]

Also, at the end, moony's hole thing has Shepard's staff in it.

[@ranexi_]

Idk if I’m overthinking or anything but the grey version of Ena also could look like a mannequin- maybe the mannequins and the grey version could mean something-? Idk but I’d just like to point it out now that you mention this theory 👀

[@vantablack8468]

I think the reason why the blue side of her turned yellow is that her wish was for it to be gone. During the series, she would often apologize or try to excuse herself after an outburst, so she probably feels very insecure and shameful because of it.

Yes except we can string together the stuff characters say to make some sense no matter how small. Although yes they work well as slice of life episodes.

[@jannanasi4444]

ive been thinking about this, and i think maybe that since she was in such a state of agony, the sadness fully took over not just become the dominant half, but her happy side literally blew up and there was no division in her, and she was so engrossed in her suffering that it was like she BECAME it (face=identity, her face on her hands covering her now blank face in pain) as for the gray color, maybe since it's black+white (two sides of her face when she experiences extreme emotion), or maybe she's "muting" her other side or ability to function normally, whether by choice or by being overwhelmed edit: upon further viewing (and listening) it seems like the arms run away as well

I feel like if we ended up in a future where everyone's immortal minds get stuck in a VR world where you can literally create anything but the concept quickly becomes pointless, this would be the kind of world made. Just an endless universe of realms rooms and voids created by individual minds on a whim, so vast that there no longer remains a place where more than a few people at a time can get together because literally everyone is either in their own created world or endlessly wandering (or trapped) in someone else's. In such a world, ena and the moon chick just feel like two beings who randomly found each other and just spend their time roaming these endless planes of existence, their minds slowly continuing to decay due to the potent mix of total isolation and sensory overload from the strange worlds they head through, and wacky characters they talk to.

Hang on, I just realized something. Moony's wording about the bet is so... backwards? "Whoever reaches the top of the Great Runas and makes their wish first _has to pay the debts of the loser._ " Moony got her wish first. Moony had to pay the debts of the _loser._ ENA is the loser. Moony paid ENA's debts. ENA's sad side disappeared. _"It's a proper punishment."_ _"PUNISHMENT IS IMMINENT!"_ _"You will fail--just like the rest of them."_ Was that ENA's debt? How did Moony pay it? Did Moony plan this? She deflected when ENA asked her how she got there so fast. She was probably behind ENA for a hot minute, since we never see her and she has the Shepherd's staff stuck in her moon-square...
