to be clear, i think the theme is a lot more nuanced than that

in fact if anything, the theme isn't "magic is fake", it's "magic is real" because, well, that's sort of the point - if someone believes it, it's real. it's happening on my screen, so it is, in some way, real.

like, to get all matrix-y, if one day we learned that we were all just asleep dreaming of life on earth, would that mean it wasn't "real"? no.

so, same thing, as long as *someone* exists who is interpreting these events as being the result of magic goats and witches, then it is real.

chapter 5 is (about to, i assume) get to this, because look, natsuhi *is* a sweet innocent precious cinnamon roll. she would never kill anyone and she would never do anything wrong. that's what i believe, and it's what natsuhi believes too to the extent she comes up with a story about a lost dead son calling her and making her hide in a closet and gosh she just had no choice but to listen. she's overriding her own reality with something "fake", but it's real to her. and etc.

i don't feel the need to continue, y'all know what i'm saying here i've already said it a dozen times

i guess i should play this game tonight, i'll try to find some time and finish this chapter
