Slow Damage - Pearl Tower / Anna Evans golden folks (Fujieda's bad end OST)

[@SymonSighs]

Recently, my dad came over to my place for a visit, and this song came on a shuffle I had going and he absolutely fell in love with it. I have refused to tell him the name of it out of fear he'll immediately find out where it's from. He texts me if I ever "remembered the name of that one funky song" and I have to keep on denying it.

[@EL-hm2lz]

Ngl I cried so fucking hard at the ending… this is probably the most vulnerable Towa has acted in the entire game up to that point, although he was still keeping up a front and protecting himself by channeling his mother’s skills of controlling others, but after asking Fujieda to “stay with [him]” forever when he softly whispered “help…” in his normal voice… of all the madness endings, this one is probably the most tame in terms of intensity/violence yet it is the most emotionally packed. It really depicts the cycle of trauma/abuse well, this game really is a masterpiece. Mommy issues simulator for real !!

[@vyckygy6626]

I felt the same!! Rei's and Taku's endings were gory, sure, but felt kinda like "fanservice" to me, they were too short, abrupt and almost out of nowhere. But this ending hit SO HARD. I didn't cry at first, just felt really sick, but as soon as I heard Towa's soft "help me", I JUST-

[@krazyxki]

@@vyckygy6626 Ngl I'm a wuss and purposely skipped the bad endings, just read spoilers about them because I couldn't bear to witness Towa going through that, he's been through too much already ;_; 😭😭 And I'm glad I didn't. Rei and Madarame's bad endings IMO are tame af compared to Taku and Fuji's. Taku's bad ending disturbs me just as much as Fuji's because of the absolute terror Towa is in in the CG I saw of him. (Plus I don't like the circumstances of what Taku was doing, that's horrible to me and it's wild that his bad end looks worse than Madarame's LOL. Actually I felt like he had the most tame bad end of everyone ironically. xD)

Took a crack at translating it because it fucking slaps. "Now, I’m your property. And you’re mine. I can't move my body I'm spellbound If we hold each other Will I be reborn? If you were to ask the little mermaid She’d advise you, ”Even if it’s an impossible dream, don’t wake from it.” No matter how insolently I struggle You can make fun of me Because I can do as I please Alive... The dream of you embracing me fades in moments It's the sound of me drying up Even if I try to touch you, I can’t ever reach you I'm trapped in here (Phantom) You can trap me Pretending that you're not hurt Like a pearl An illusion of innocence Trap/kiss kiss me I'll always be waiting for you As if you’re teasing me Are you going to fizzle out like foam? As if I were dreaming I gaze in your sweet eyes I'm enthralled I can't look away “Let’s be together forever” Saying "save me...” I think I've fallen in your trap Sorry, I’ve kept you waiting I’ve been at the bottom of the sea I came looking for you Where the pearls hide Like diving into a temple in the deep I'll touch your wisdom... The arms around me feel so gentle Swaying to the sound of your favourite song Whenever I try to touch you, you feel so cold If I say I love you, will you turn into foam? You can trap me Pretending that you're not hurt Like a pearl An illusion of innocence Trap kiss kiss me You can cut me deeply Like we’re entwined Let’s disappear into the foam

[@soramafuforlife7247]

Fujieda's route was definitely the best and I loved this bad ending as well. I fell in love with Towa instantly. His voice and personality hooked me. Throughout the game, Towa acts very nonchalant to anything that is done to him whether its being drugged and much worse. However when you enter Fujieda's route, you learn it was all a defense mechanism from his trauma. It hurt me to see Towa so vulnerable in this bad ending and it made it much more impactful to watch Towa suffer under Maya's mask. Also banger song ❤️

[@patatedesbois4748]

This song is so good, i didnt do yet that ending though. I love to read the comments of other BL fans that makes me smile because it's not a subject i discuss at all in my life with other people.

Honestly this bad ending is probably the least bad out of all of them (imo) to me it seems that there is still a tiny chance towa can still recover because clearly he is still in there, or maybe this is just me trying to convince myself it will all be ok💀

[@CassandraDorothy]

I finally play through Fujieda's bad end route and what left for me now about this song is an disgust (not in lyrics or melody, it is just all about the stoty behind it) . The trauma and mind-break of this route make me feel a certain voice of Maya and that's not ease at all. In the first place i thought this song would be like an destruction of Towa into Fujieda with a bit of manipulation, not this psycho Maya engraved into Towa. This song will never be the same when I had played through the route, but honestly, I think this song gonna stick with me a little longer than others. A favorite song contains a f*ck story behind it that could never forget =))))

can anyone finished the whole route in the game? What's in Fujieda's bad ending?

[@mirumeki]

[Spoilers] - - - - - - - This song perfectly explains the ending in the lyrics. It switches between Maya and Fujieda's POV. In the bad ending, Sakaki brainwashes Towa into becoming the next Maya after the Euphoria session fails. Fujieda made a promise to always support Towa no matter what so he stays by his side even if he is now a monster. We do not know if Towa is still inside of his own body or if it's Maya that is messing with Fujieda. It is not visually disturbing of an ending like usual Nitro endings but the implications of it are very dark and very sad.

[@fenixwright]

@@mirumeki omg.. thank you so much for telling me abt it.. i never get the chance to play the game because i haven't had the proficiency level to read japanese text. So from where you mentioned, Towa is kinda reminds me of Aoba from dmmd. I mean both bad endings may ended up having them altered their personalities. Aoba/Slyblue and Towa/Maya..?... and omgosh, having to see this ship Fujieda/Towa (Maya) is some sort like Koujaku/Aoba's relationship..

[@mirumeki]

@@fenixwright Now that you mention it, yes. Fujieda's bad ending is very similar to the Koujaku bad ending. Shiroba and Maya/Towa act very similar too. I do hope that the English translation happens. Fujieda's route is one of my absolute favorite Nitro+C routes. It is very well written but the fandom is sort of dying down since it's been out in Japan for a while so I anticipate western fanworks. It would be nice to see more fans of him when it happens.

[@fenixwright]

@@mirumeki YEAA im super excited JAST BLUE is going to release the english ver for SlowDamage soon. I've been supporting their page since I played sweet pool on steam. Towa appearance has uncanny resemblance to Youji but he's more edgier while Youji is so introverted and silent type. Gotta say the games that were produced by NitroChiral gives a lot of nostalgic sense in their characters but in a different world/universe.
