Yet another Hatoful/Anghel realization! :O

[xaq_the_aereon]

A while back, I translated Textoris Melodia Funus/Funeris as "Weaver of the Song of Death."

However, after we finished BBL up today, I saw something that bounced around in my head until just now when it clicked: A few times, Anghel made reference to an impending disaster he called "the Funeral Song."

Funeral Song...Melodia Funeris.

Apparently my translation was off: Anghel was calling Ryouta and Nageki "Weaver of the Funeral Song," which I am now 100% certain is his name for the intended global outbreak of the Charon Virus planned by the Hawk Party.

In other words, the Funeral Song was the endgame of Operation Hatoful.

Honestly, I don't know whether to be impressed, or disturbed, by Anghel's grasp of reality when his mind is permanently perpendicular to it. Some folks look at the world through rose-colored glasses...he's viewing it through a fucking kaleidoscope and yet still getting the picture more or less exactly right.

Does the fact that he threw another "By the Pact of Old" reference at the Bone White Bird of Bean-Eating mean anything?

But ... yeah, that is brilliant. The writing in this game, I swear. It's deceptive. You wouldn't think a pigeon photo dating sim would turn out to have one of the most brilliantly-written and deep stories in pretty much anything anywhere, and yet, here we are.
