#in classic it's more blatant. he told artemy he'd shoot himself if thanatica is lost and then we know it IS from daniil's route

[palin-tropos]

in all honesty the mazov/nilsen final meeting probably was not as tranquil as the inframaterialism book suggests or if it was there’s a fridge horror component 

#cw suicide mention #sorry to be making patho comparisons again but i'm reminded of daniil at the end of haruspex route in classic and 2 #in both cases he deliberately lies or misdirects artemy away from something that is making him suicidal #in classic it's more blatant. he told artemy he'd shoot himself if thanatica is lost and then we know it IS from daniil's route #but he says he's going back to his lab in the capital like nothing is wrong #and in p2 he's sort of dodging questions about how very pursued by the government he is and how hopeless his situation might be #so you know. same thing here. the irony of them reading each other's surface level thoughts and mazov is assuring that he's fine #and it's a lie. a mind lie #sorry I just love to make myself sad about these fucking guys
