I want to share my thoughts about Naraka (Hell realm) in Rusty Lake’s universe. It would be better to clarify how I prefer to perceive it in advance, so that if later it comes up in my fan content, there would not be too many questions, haha.
I suspect this is what Rose was reborn into at the end of "The Past Within" and Mr. Rabbit at the end of "Birthday", as tree as the symbol of Naraka was depicted on the sign in "Theater". However, you should not take their new form as literally "trees" - what's so hellish about plants, after all? It seems to me that those who go through the process of (metaphorically or literally) turning into a tree and passing into this new form of life become part of the forest at the bottom of the lake, and the Lake itself is what Naraka is, an infernal creature.
More than once in games characters have referred to the Lake as something sentient. The Lake needs memories, the Lake is able to reward with enlightenment and the Lake is able to punish those who disobey it. Here everything is not quite like in Buddhism, where hellish beings are considered to be the lowest of all creatures, because in “Rusty Lake” series this role seems to have been dutifully occupied by lost and suffering Corrupted souls, while Naraka | Lake is a kind of strong and, perhaps, cruel entity, whose wishes even Mr Owl and Mr Crow choose to respect, so as not to have unnecessary problems later. Therefore, maybe Dale is so interesting to them, because even if the Enlightened Ones have to live in harmony with Naraka, with the Deity on their side, no one of them will need to obey the wishes of the Lake.
I find it difficult to answer who exactly gets to be reborn into a part of the Lake, because Albert, for example, deserved this much more than his daughter, but perhaps it should be noted that in this universe the morality is rather gray. It’s possible that the fact that Rose tried to deceive nature and the standard rebirth system and whatever Mr. Rabbit was up to, from a universal point of view, is considered to be much worse than a couple of murders of family members. I mean, this is what some people here were rewarded for, pf.
