So, this is what Rarity wants? So be it.

Rarity couldn't believe it. Sayori had hung herself. She thought that this would be a simple dating simulator/visual novel, but in reality, it was a psychological horror video game that breaks the fourth wall.

She had made it into Act 2, where the game would be taking a HARD left turn. "Darling, this is NOT okie dokie!", Rarity said in horror. She went through Day 2, which was pretty normal, but Rarity was still on edge. When Monika gave her writing tip for Day 3, this is what she said.

Sometimes you'll find yourself facing a difficult decision...when that happens, don't forget to save your game! You never know when...um... Can you hear me? Tell me you can hear me. Anything. "Please help me." ...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~

Monika was clearly worried.

Rarity then read Yuri's poem.

A rotating wheel. Turning an axle. Grinding. Bolthead. Linear gearbox. Falling sky. Seven holy stakes. A docked ship. A portal to another world. A thin rope tied to a thick rope. A torn harness. Parabolic gearbox. Expanding universe. Time controlled by slipping cogwheels. Existence of God. Swimming with open water in all directions. Drowning. A prayer written in blood. A prayer written in time-devouring snakes with human eyes. A thread connecting all living human eyes. A kaleidoscope of holy stakes. Exponential gearbox. A sky of exploding stars. God disproving the existence of God. A wheel rotating in six dimensions. Forty gears and a ticking clock. A clock that ticks one second for every rotation of the planet. A clock that ticks forty times every time it ticks every second time. A bolthead of holy stakes tied to the existence of a docked ship to another world. A kaleidoscope of blood written in clocks. A time-devouring prayer connecting a sky of forty gears and open human eyes in all directions. Breathing gearbox. Breathing bolthead. Breathing ship. Breathing portal. Breathing snakes. Breathing God. Breathing blood. Breathing holy stakes. Breathing human eyes. Breathing time. Breathing prayer. Breathing sky. Breathing wheel.

The fashionista then read Natsuki's poem, which was written in Base64 code, but she was able to translate it.

I can feel the tenderness of her skin through the knife, as if it were an extension of my sense of touch. My body nearly convulses. There's something incredibly faint, deep down, that screams to resist this uncontrollable pleasure. But I can already tell that I'm being pushed over the edge. I can't... I can't stop myself.

After a jumpscare from Natsuki, the day ended.

On Day 4, things started to get VERY creepy. Rarity already knew that Yuri was a yandere, but this was NEXT-LEVEL CREEPY. She received a poem from Yuri, which had blood and yellow stains on it and was nearly illegible. She could only make out the last thirteen sentences.

Fresh blood seeps through the line parting her skin and slowly colors her breast red. I begin to hyperventilate as my compulsion grows. The images won't go away. Images of me driving the knife into her flesh continuously, fucking her body with the blade, making a mess of her. My head starts going crazy as my thoughts start to return. Shooting pain assaults my mind along with my thoughts. This is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. How could I ever let myself think these things? But it's unmistakable. The lust continues to linger through my veins. An ache in my muscles stems from the unreleased tension experienced by my entire body. Her Third Eye is drawing me closer.

After a quarrel, Yuri committed suicide in the most gruesome way possible: she stabbed herself in the stomach TWICE, then stabbed herself in the CHEST. That was the end of Act 2.

Rarity was EXTREMELY freaked out by this. Luckily, the worst was over. Act 3 wasn't as creepy.

After deleting all other characters in the game, Monika was the only thing in existence besides Rarity and a room floating in space, the Literature Club's classroom. She explains that everything that had happened up until this point was her doing. She had power over the game, and she was also aware that she was trapped in the game. She confessed that she made Sayori's mental illness more severe, causing her sudden suicide, and maximized Yuri's obsessive tendencies. She furthermore explained that she did so because she thought that it would make Rarity spend more time with her. The events that ended up happening weren't what she'd planned; there were more mistakes she unintentionally made since Monika did not account for the things that would happen if she messed with the character files. It was also noted that at that point, Rarity couldn't save or load the game anymore, and all of the previous saves that she had were erased. If she did try to save, a message popped out that said, "There's no point in saving anymore, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere", presumably from Monika. If she attempted to press "skip," Monika would disable the button entirely. Monika then expressed her love to Rarity's character (yes, she knew she was playing as a male character). However, after everything that had happened throughout the game, Rarity had only one thing to say: "Sayonara!" She deleted Monika, although it seemed her consciousness still existed. Then, after a bit of talking, she realized that what she has done was wrong. She then went on to create a new state of the game, where she ceased to exist, leading to Act 4.

In Act 4, Sayori was the obsessive president of the Literature Club, but Monika erased Sayori from existence after hearing what Sayori was saying. The end credits rolled, with a song called Your Reality playing. "Well... that was fucked up", Rarity quipped. She got a call from Monika (Wait, what?), saying that there is no happiness in the Literature Club, primarily because one had to be president, and being one gives the character a revelation that drives them to insanity. Rarity blocked the number from her phone, resulting in a jumpscare from Monika via computer screen.
