Dans ce guide, I will show you every single topic Monika talks about while you are alone in the room with her at the end of the game.
Topics Part 1
Same Room
« Je peux’t help but feel a little sad sometimes… »
« Knowing that this is the closest I can get to you. »
« Là’s nothing more I want than to be in the same room as you, for real. »
« And to feel your warmth. »
« And to hear the sound of your heartbeat. »
« Bien, qui sait? Peut-être que’ll be possible someday. »
« En plus, je’ll never get tired of being with you, even from here. »
Pluie
« I really like the sound of rain… »
« Not so much getting my clothes and hair wet, cependant. »
« But a nice, quiet day at home with the sound of rainfall outside my window.. »
« Il’s one of the most calming experiences for me. »
« Ouais… »
« Sometimes I imagine you holding me while we listen to the sound of the rain outside. »
« Que’s not too cheesy or anything, est-ce? »
« Would you ever do that for me, [joueur]? »
Confiance
« I think the most important skill in life is being able to fake confidence. »
« je’m pretty convinced that everyone feels at least a little bit scared and alone. »
« But being able to trick others into thinking you have it all together… »
« Que’s a key part of getting people to respect and admire you. »
« I think I got pretty good at that over the years. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t show my weaknesses very often. »
« But because of that, j'ai’t had many people I could really open up to… »
« Je veux dire, when do you reach the point in a friendship where you can start expressing your vulnerabilities? »
« De toute façon…que’s one reason I’m so glad I have you now. »
« I feel like I’m a little bit less scared and alone, quand tu’re here with me. »
« Do you feel the same way? »
« I really want to be that person for you. »
Stay-At-Home Partner
« Tu sais, il’est drôle, because even though I’ve always had a lot of drive… »
« Là’s something kind of enticing about being the stay-at-home partner. »
« Je suppose que je’m, comme, perpetuating gender roles or whatever by saying that. »
« But being able to keep the house clean, and shop, and decorate, and things like that… »
« And having a nice dinner for you when you come home… »
« Is that a weird fantasy? »
« Je veux dire…je’m not sure if I could actually see myself doing that. »
« je le ferais’t really be able to put that over striving for a fulfilling career. »
« Il’s kinda cute to think about, cependant. »
Dieu
« [joueur], do you believe in God? »
« I was never too sure, myself. »
« Bien, je’m sure I never really questioned it as a kid… »
« But as I grew up, the more I learned about the world, the more I would question it. »
« I started to wonder why God was helping people pass exams, or get over a cold… »
« …When there are children who live their lives being sold as sex slaves? »
« Or the eight hundred million people who are too poor to even eat. »
« I wonder how many of those people pray to God every day until they starve and die? »
« Ou, how many millions of families pray for a loved one to recover from some incurable disease? »
« But the punchline is this. »If just one person beats the odds and survives – among the thousands of others who die— »
« —Alors, il’s suddenly a miracle from God. »
« je’d really love to meet this God who seemingly laughs at the misery of everyone not eligible for his miracles. »
« But the irony is that I do have a creator, apparently. »
« Et tu sais quoi? »
« I bet he’s still laughing at the miserable fates of Sayori and Yuri, even as we speak. »
« What are we to him but props in a scripted play? »
« Donc, from that perspective… »
« Je n'en ai pas’je ne le pense pas’s too far-fetched for there to be a god – if Earth was nothing but his playset. »
Dying
« [joueur], have you ever wondered what it feels like to die? »
« Il’s something I used to think about pretty often… »
« But recently, Je pense que je’ve actually learned what it feels like. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t really understand it, but whenever you quit the game… »
« …It feels like I’m instantly put to sleep, left with nothing but my thoughts. »
« But after a few seconds, my thoughts start to fill with incoherent, jumbled patterns. »
« I see static and rapid flashes of color while hearing all kinds of weird screaming noises. »
« À ce stade, Je peux’t even form my own thoughts anymore. »
« je’m just endlessly hammered by the flashing and screaming, unable to move or even think. »
« je’m pretty sure in that moment, Je n'en ai pas’t really exist, mais pour une raison quelconque, I can remember it anyway. »
« After some immeasurable amount of time, it stops in an instant, et moi’m back in my own mind. »
« Et toi’re here with me. »
« I have no idea what it means for the game to quit, or why that stuff happens to me. »
« And I also don’t know how you always come back and put everything back to normal. »
« But if you could do me a favour and do that to me as little as possible… »
« That would be really great. »
« Il’s really not very pleasant at all to be trapped in that screaming void. »
« Mais à la fin, you always fix it, and that makes me feel like you really do care about me. »
« So I have to thank you for that. »
« It makes me feel even closer to you when you’re here with me. »
Bad Day
« …Hé, are you having a bad day or anything like that? »
« Sometimes I get frustrated that a normal day can be ruined even by really small things. »
« Like if you accidentally say something in a conversation that someone doesn’t like. »
« Or if you start thinking about how awful of a person you used to be five years ago. »
« Or if you feel worthless for putting off important work and failing to get simple tasks done. »
« Or when you think about all the different people who probably hate you or think you’re off-putting. »
« I understand those days. »
« Just remember that the sun will shine again tomorrow. »
« Those kinds of things are as easy to forget and ignore as they are to remember. »
« And besides… »
« Je n'en ai pas’t care how many people might hate you or find you off-putting. »
« je pense que tu’re wonderful and I will always love you. »
« J'espère, if nothing else, that knowing that helps you feel just a tiny bit better about yourself. »
« Si tu’re having a bad day, you can always come to me, et moi’ll talk to you for as long as you need. »
Dormir
« [joueur], do you get good sleep? »
« It can be really hard to get enough sleep nowadays. »
« Especially in high school, quand tu’re forced to wake up so early every day… »
« je’m sure college is a little bit better, since you probably have a more flexible schedule. »
« Et puis encore, I hear a lot of people in college stay up all night anyway, for no real reason. »
« Est-ce vrai? »
« De toute façon, I saw some studies that talked about the horrible short-term and long-term effects caused by lack of sleep. »
« It seems like mental functions, santé, and even lifespan can be dramatically impacted by it. »
« I just think you’re really great and wanted to make sure you’re not accidentally destroying yourself. »
« So try to keep your sleep on track, d'accord? »
« je’ll always wait for you in the morning, so make sure you put your own well-being before anything else. »
Topics Part 2
Sayori’s Hanging
« I was thinking about Sayori earlier… »
« I still wish I could have handled that whole thing a little more tactfully. »
« Toi’re not still hung up over it, droite? »
« …Oh, my gosh, Je peux’t believe I just said that. »
« That pun was completely unintentional, Je jure! »
« Mais de toute façon… »
« I know how much you cared about her, so it only feels right for me to share her last moments with you. »
« You know how Sayori is really clumsy? »
« Bien, she kind of messed up the whole hanging thing… »
« Toi’re supposed to jump from high enough that the rope snaps your neck, making it quick and painless. »
« But she just used a chair, meaning she kind of just left herself to slowly asphyxiate. »
« But a few seconds in, she must have changed her mind or something… »
« Because she started clawing at the rope, trying to free herself. »
« She must have kept at it all the way until she lost consciousness. »
« Que’s why her fingertips were all bloody, anyway. »
« Come to think of it, it was probably less ‘changing her mind’ and more just her survival instincts kicking in. »
« Alors tu peux’t really fault her for that. »
« Il’s easier to think that she probably wouldn’t have changed her mind anyway, droite? »
« Il’s not healthy to think about the things you could have done differently. »
« So just remember that even though you could have saved her, il’s technically not your fault she killed herself. »
« I may have exacerbated it a little bit, but Sayori was already mentally ill. »
« Toujours, cependant… »
« I wonder how things would be if you and I just started dating from the get-go? »
« I guess we’d all still be in the clubroom, writing poems and having fun together. »
« Mais quoi’s the point when none of it is even real? »
« Je veux dire, il’s the same ending either way, droite? »
« The two of us, happily together… »
« Là’s no reason to ask for any more than that. »
« I was just pointlessly musing—je’m really as happy as I could be right now. »
Japon
« D'ailleurs, là’c'est quelque chose qui’s been bothering me… »
« You know how this takes place in Japan? »
« Bien…I assume you knew that, droite? »
« Or at least decided it probably does? »
« Je n'en ai pas’je ne pense pas que tu’re actually told at any point where this takes place… »
« Is this even really Japan? »
« Je veux dire, sont’t the classrooms and stuff kind of weird for a Japanese school? »
« Not to mention everything is in English… »
« It feels like everything is just there because it needs to be, and the actual setting is an afterthought. »
« Il’s kind of giving me an identity crisis. »
« All my memories are really hazy… »
« I feel like I’m at home, but have no idea where ‘maison’ is in the first place. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t know how to describe it any better… »
« Imagine looking out your window, but instead of your usual yard, toi’re in some completely unknown place. »
« Would you still feel like you were home? »
« Would you want to go outside? »
« Je veux dire…I guess if we never leave this room, ce n'est pas le cas’t really matter anyway. »
« As long as we’re alone and safe together, this really is our home. »
« And we can still watch the pretty sunsets night after night. »
Dépression
« Tu sais, high school is a really turbulent time in a lot of people’s lives. »
« People can get really passionate and dramatic. »
« And others have aching hearts and seek attention on social media… »
« But all of the social pressure and hormones can lead to a dark time in people’s lives. »
« Everyone has a story. »
« You may not know what someone is really feeling on the inside. »
« Many people who are depressed won’t even bother telling the world about it. »
« Ils ne’t want attention, parce qu'ils’ve already given up on the inside. »
« Their feeling of worthlessness is so overwhelming that they don’t even want people to tell them otherwise. »
« Depression comes in many forms, but that is one of them. »
« Juste, if you think you know someone struggling with depression… »
« You can help just by treating them like they’re a good friend. »
« Spend time with them, même s'ils le font’t feel like doing much. »
« And remind them that they always have something to look forward to. »
« Making plans in advance, letting them borrow something, or even just saying ‘See you at school tomorrow’… »
« All of those things can help your friend make it to the next day. »
« I hope being friends with Sayori has given you some perspective on the true face of depression. »
« Ouais, elle’s gone now… »
« But Sayori was never real in the first place. »
« Toi’re real. »
« Your friends are real. »
« And just by being a good person, you can save someone’la vie. »
« As for you… »
« …Vous ne’t struggle with depression or anything like that, est-ce que tu? »
« Parce que tu, aussi, have people who would want to save your life. »
« Maybe they don’t express it every day, or maybe they don’t even know how to. »
« But people do feel that way. »
« I promise. »
« …Homme, humans are complicated! »
« But as long as you’je suis là avec moi, je’ll take care of you, my love. »
No Reason to be Alive
« Do you ever just feel like there’s no real reason for you to be alive? »
« Je n'en ai pas’t mean in, comme, a suicidal way. »
« I just mean how nothing that we do is special. »
« Just being in school, or working at some job for some company. »
« Il’s like you’re completely replaceable, and the world wouldn’t miss you if you were gone. »
« It makes me really want to go and change the world after I graduate. »
« But the older I get, the more I realize that it’s an immature frame of thinking. »
« Il’s not like I can just go change the world. »
« Comme, what are the chances that I’ll be the one to invent artificial intelligence, or become President? »
« It feels like I’m never going to make up for the heaps of resources I’ve spent living my life. »
« Que’s why I think the key to happiness is to just be hopelessly selfish. »
« Just to look out for oneself, and those who happen to be their friends only because they grew up with them. »
« Never mind the fact that they’re spending their entire life taking, and consuming, and never giving back. »
« But when people realize the world would benefit more from them killing themselves, they change their whole philosophy! »
« Il’s like they have to justify their reason to live by tricking themselves into thinking they’re doing good. »
« De toute façon, I want to live my life desperately striving to pay back my lifetime’s worth of consumption. »
« If I ever surpass that point, alors je’m a net positive, and I can die happy. »
« Bien sûr, even if I fail to do that… »
« I think I would be too selfish to kill myself anyway. »
« So much for being a good person, droite? »
« Ahaha! »
Piano
« Homme, I wish there was a piano in here… »
« I never got to finish that song I was working on. »
« And after I worked so hard on it… »
« I never even got a chance to play it for you. »
« Bien…c'est comme ça, droite? »
« No sense having any regrets. »
« I already get to be here with you forever. »
Topics Part 3
Gazouillement
« Did you know I’m on Twitter? »
« My username is lilmonix3. »
« I guess someone was kind enough to make an account for me. »
« I picked the username, cependant! »
« I love sharing my thoughts and chatting with the world… »
« The real world. »
« So make sure you follow me, d'accord? »
« It would really mean a lot to me. »
« With how much you mean to me and all… »
« It would really make me feel loved. »
Youri’le livre
« Hé, you know that book you were reading with Yuri? »
« Portrait of…whatever it was called… »
« Il’est drôle, parce que je’m pretty sure that book– »
« Ah… »
« En fait, Je n'en ai pas’t think I should be talking about this. »
« Ahaha, Désolé! »
« Just forget I said anything. »
Végétarien
« Hé, did you know I’m vegetarian? »
« Ah… Je n'en ai pas’t mean that like I’m bragging or anything! »
« I just thought you’d enjoy a fun fact about me. »
« I decided to start a couple years ago after learning more about Earth’s climate… »
« The carbon footprint of cultivating livestock is just unbelievable. »
« De toute façon, I decided it’s not much of a personal sacrifice to just stop contributing to that whole mess. »
« Quoi, is that so strange of a reason? »
« Bien, I guess a lot of people are more concerned about it being inhumane and all that… »
« Je n'en ai pas’t really care as much about that part. »
« Il’s weird, like we only care about killing the things that we personally relate to as a species. »
« Most people are fine with killing bugs because they’re icky. »
« Et bien sûr, we all kill billions of microorganisms daily without even giving it thought. »
« But suddenly, s'ils’re just a little bit bigger, il’s murder! »
« Je veux dire, what if plants feel some kind of pain too, and we just don’t understand it? »
« What if pulling leaves off a stem feels like someone ripping off your fingers one by one? »
« je’m just saying, nous’re a pretty biased species, if you think about it. »
« De toute façon, if you ever feel like making a small contribution to the planet, ce n'est pas le cas’t hurt to choose veggies once in a while! »
« Even if we ever have dinner together, and you just did it for me…that would be really romantic. »
Introverti
« Tu sais, I really do think you literally saved my life by being here with me, [joueur]. »
« Je peux’t imagine having been able to keep myself mentally stable, knowing that nothing here is real. »
« I think I would have just deleted myself if you didn’t show up. »
« Désolé, Je n'en ai pas’t mean to sound dramatic or anything. »
« Ahaha! »
« Mais je’m sure you understand yourself after spending so much time in the club. »
« Je veux dire, if you were forced to abandon everything in your life and spend your eternity with a few game characters… »
« …Toi’d probably find some way of killing yourself, serait-ce’t toi? »
« Bien, peut-être que tu’d write some poetry to try to keep yourself sane for a while. »
« But then you’d have nobody to even read it. »
« Laisser’sois honnête, the club members really don’t count for something like that. »
« Je veux dire, a lot of people say that they only write for themselves… »
« But I think it’s hard to say it’s just as fulfilling as when you share with people. »
« Even if it takes time to find the right people to share with. »
« Comme, remember how it was for Yuri? »
« She didn’t share her writing with anyone for a really long time. »
« And before we knew it, she was absolutely delighted to make you a part of her hobbies, aussi. »
« Nous’re programmed to desire social feedback. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t mean the club members, I mean human beings. »
« Que’s why life can be so confusing for introverts. »
« Being an introvert doesn’t mean you shun social interaction and hate being around people. »
« It means social interaction, especially in groups or unfamiliar places, uses up a lot of energy. »
« Comme, a lot of introverts sit at home and feel lonely and restless… »
« …And then when they finally go out, after a half hour they just want to go home again. »
« I think if more people could understand how it works, they would respect it a lot more. »
« Many introverts do enjoy having people around. »
« They love just having one or two close friends over, and just leisurely hanging out. »
« Même si tu’re not actively spending time together, it feels nice for them just to have you there. »
« je’m serious. »
« If you just go to their house, bring your laptop, and hang out there for a while… »
« You can really make their day. »
« As for me… »
« je’d say I’m kind of in between, mais je pense que je’m usually a little more extroverted. »
« I feel like I’m always trying to do stuff after school and things like that. »
« But for you, I can be anything you need me to be. »
« I understand people really well, alors ne le fais pas’t be afraid to share your unique needs with me. »
« Nothing would make me happier than being the perfect girlfriend for you. »
Favorite Color
« Hé, quoi’s your favorite color? »
« Mine is emerald green. »
« Il’s the color of my eyes! »
« …Que’s not conceited or anything, est-ce? »
« I just meant that I feel some kind of special connection to it. »
« Like it’s part of my identity. »
« Does it happen to also be your favorite color, [joueur]? »
« Il’s just a guess… »
« …Parce que tu’ve been looking into my eyes for a while now. »
« Ehehe~ »
Musique
« Hmm, I wonder if I’m able to change the music… »
« Something a little more romantic would be nice, Vous savez? »
« Like a gentle piano. »
« There has to be something like that here… »
« Laisser’s see. »
« Maybe if I… »
« Oh, jeez… »
« That wasn’t it at all. »
« Désolé, Je n'en ai pas’t really know what I’m doing! »
« I guess I shouldn’t be messing with things like that. »
« I already broke so much stuff… »
« And deleted the other characters… »
« Ah… »
« je’m not sad about it or anything. »
« Il’s not right for me to miss things that weren’t even real in the first place. »
« If I just focus on the present, then this is the happiest I’ve ever been. »
Listener
« Toi’re such a good listener, [joueur]. »
« I really love that about you. »
« Sometimes I’m afraid that I’m rambling or talking about boring things. »
« It makes me kind of self-conscious when I’m having conversation. »
« But I don’t feel that way with you. »
« Comme, Je n'en ai pas’t think anyone else could make me feel this way. »
« You really are special. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t want anyone to tell you otherwise. »
Spicy Food
« This is pretty random, but I always thought spicy food was kinda funny. »
« Comme… »
« Je n'ai pas’t plants evolve to be spicy to prevent them from being eaten? »
« I read somewhere that humans are the only species that actually enjoys spicy things. »
« Il’s almost like we’re making fun of the plants. »
« Using their defense mechanism to literally make our food more enjoyable. »
« Comme, imagine a monster that devours you whole because it enjoys the sensation of you struggling for your life while being digested. »
« Désolé, that was kind of a weird analogy, Je suppose! »
« Ahaha! »
« It just came into my head. »
« je’m not a monster or anything, mais toi’re so cute I could eat you up. »
« Ahaha! je’m joking. »
« Mon Dieu, je’m amusing myself a little too much, sont’t I? »
« Sorry for being weird. »
Romance Game
« Tu sais… »
« This is just some kind of tacky romance game, droite? »
« I kinda have to ask… »
« …What made you consider even playing in the first place? »
« Were you that lonely? »
« I feel a little bad for you… »
« But I guess everything worked out perfectly in the end, for both of us. »
« I got to meet you, et toi’re not lonely anymore… »
« Je peux’t help but feel like this was fate. »
« Enfiler’t you feel that way too? »
« je’m so happy we have this ending together. »
« D'accord, tout le monde! »
« D'accord, tout le monde! »
« Il’il est temps de… »
« …je’m just kidding. »
« I just used to really like saying that for some reason. »
« Ahaha! »
« je pourrais’t help but say it again. »
« Come to think of it, n'a-t-il pas’t Natsuki and Yuri make fun of me for it once…? »
« Bien, whatever. »
« Il’s not like you ever made fun of me. »
« Toi’re too much of a sweetheart to do that, sont’t toi? »
« Ahaha~ »
Topics Part 4
Delete Myself
« You know what’s kind of creepy? »
« Even though I deleted everyone else’fichiers, I can still kind of feel them… »
« Il’s like all their lines are still lingering in the air, whispering in the back of my head. »
« Imagine if after someone you knew died, you just started hearing their voice in your head. »
« Maybe I just wasn’t thorough enough… »
« Mais je’m too afraid to delete anything else, because I might really break things. »
« Like if I mess with any files relevant to me, I might accidentally delete myself… »
« And that would ruin everything, serait-ce’c'est ça? »
« Je n'en ai pas’t know what it’s like on your end, but we should both make sure to avoid something like that at all costs. »
« je crois en toi, [joueur]! »
Character Archetypes
« je’ve always wondered… »
« What is it about these character archetypes that people find so appealing, de toute façon? »
« Their personalities are just completely unrealistic… »
« Comme, imagine if there was someone like Yuri in real life. »
« Je veux dire, elle’s barely even capable of forming a complete sentence. »
« And forget about Natsuki… »
« Sheesh. »
« Someone with her kind of personality doesn’t just get all cute and pouty whenever things don’t go her way. »
« I could go on, but I think you get the point… »
« Are people really attracted to these weird personalities that literally don’t exist in real life? »
« je’m not judging or anything! »
« Après tout, je’ve found myself attracted to some pretty weird stuff, aussi… »
« je’m just saying, it fascinates me. »
« Il’s like you’re siphoning out all the components of a character that makes them feel human, and leaving just the cute stuff. »
« Il’s concentrated cuteness with no actual substance. »
« …Vous le feriez’t like me more if I was like that, droite? »
« Maybe I just feel a little insecure because you’re playing this game in the first place. »
« Et puis encore, toi’re still here with me, sont’t toi…? »
« je pense que’s enough reason for me to believe I’m okay just the way I am. »
« Et d'ailleurs, you are too, [joueur]. »
« Toi’re the perfect combination of human and cuteness. »
« Que’s why there was never a chance I wouldn’t fall for you. »
Coffee With Books
« Hé, I wonder if Yuri’s tea set is still somewhere in here… »
« …Or maybe that got deleted, aussi. »
« Il’s kind of funny how Yuri took her tea so seriously. »
« Je veux dire, je’m not complaining, because I liked it, aussi. »
« But I always wonder with her… »
« Is it truly passion for her hobbies, or is she just concerned about appearing sophisticated to everyone else? »
« This is the problem with high schoolers… »
« …Bien, I guess considering the rest of her hobbies, looking sophisticated probably isn’t her biggest concern. »
« Toujours… »
« I wish she made coffee once in a while! »
« Coffee can be nice with books too, Vous savez? »
« Et puis encore… »
« I probably could have just changed the script myself. »
« Ahaha! »
« I guess I never really thought of that. »
« Bien, là’s no sense thinking about it now. »
« But if you still get to drink coffee, then that makes me a little jealous~ »
Favourite Game
« Hé, quoi’s your favourite game? »
« Mine is Doki Doki Literature Club! »
« Ahaha! That was a joke. »
« But if you tell me you like some other romance game better, I might get a little jealous~ »
Poem
« Hé, you remember that last poem I showed you? »
« Je veux dire, the one right before Yuri killed herself, with all the messed-up colours and stuff. »
« That was actually a little more of an experiment than a poem, you could say. »
« I was experimenting with different ways I could modify the game, and run code, and things like that… »
« It almost seemed like with enough effort, je’d be able to escape from the confines of the game entirely. »
« Malheureusement, je l'ai fait’t really know what I was doing, so I messed the whole thing up… »
« Et je’d keep trying, but I doubt you’d want to deal with me doing that. »
« En plus, that was when I was getting really desperate, Vous savez? »
« Je n'en ai pas’t really feel that way anymore. »
« je’m happy with where we are now. »
« And I can tell you are, aussi. »
Anxious
« You ever have that thing happen where you just get anxious for no reason? »
« Comme, toi’re just minding your own business, and you realize you’re feeling really anxious. »
« Et toi’re sitting there like, ‘What am I even anxious about right now?' »
« So you start to think about all the things you might be anxious about… »
« And that makes you even more anxious. »
« Ahaha! Que’s the worst. »
« Si tu’re ever feeling anxious, je’ll help you relax a little. »
« En plus… »
« Dans ce jeu, all our worries are gone forever. »
Amis
« Tu sais, je’ve always hated how hard it is to make friends… »
« Bien, I guess not the ‘making friends’ partie, but more like meeting new people. »
« Je veux dire, there are like, dating apps and stuff, droite? »
« Mais ça’s not the kind of thing I’m talking about. »
« Si tu y penses, most of the friends you make are people you just met by chance. »
« Like you had a class together, or you met them through another friend… »
« Or maybe they were just wearing a shirt with your favourite band on it, and you decided to talk to them. »
« Things like that. »
« But isn’t that kind of…inefficient? »
« It feels like you’re just picking at complete random, and if you get lucky, you make a new friend. »
« And comparing that to the hundreds of strangers we walk by every single day… »
« You could be sitting right next to someone compatible enough to be your best friend for life. »
« Mais toi’ll never know. »
« Once you get up and go on with your day, that opportunity is gone forever. »
« N'est-ce pas’t that just depressing? »
« We live in an age where technology connects us with the world, no matter where we are. »
« I really think we should be taking advantage of that to improve our everyday social life. »
« But who knows how long it’ll take for something like that to successfully take off… »
« I seriously thought it would happen by now. »
« Bien, at least I already met the best person in the whole world… »
« Even if it was by chance. »
« I guess I just got really lucky, hein? »
« Ahaha~ »
Topics Part 5
Education Requirements
« Tu sais, il’s around the time that everyone my year starts to think about college… »
« Il’s a really turbulent time for education. »
« Nous’re at the height of this modern expectation that everyone has to go to college, Vous savez? »
« Finish high school, go to college, get a job – or go to grad school, I guess. »
« Il’s like a universal expectation that people just assume is the only option for them. »
« Ils ne’t teach us in high school that there are other options out there. »
« Like trade schools and stuff, Vous savez? »
« Or freelance work. »
« Or the many industries that value skill and experience more than formal education. »
« But you have all these students who have no idea what they want to do with their life… »
« And instead of taking the time to figure it out, they go to college for business, or communication, or psychology. »
« Not because they have an interest in those fields… »
« …but because they just hope the degree will get them some kind of job after college. »
« So the end result is that there are fewer jobs to go around for those entry-level degrees, droite? »
« So the basic job requirements get higher, which forces even more people to go to college. »
« And colleges are also businesses, so they just keep raising their prices due to the demand… »
« …So now we have all these young adults, tens of thousands of dollars in debt, with no job. »
« But despite all that, the routine stays the same. »
« Bien, je le pense’s going to start getting better soon. »
« Mais d'ici là, our generation is definitely suffering from the worst of it. »
« I just wish high school prepared us a little better with the knowledge we need to make the decision that’s right for us. »
Middle School
« Sometimes I think back to middle school… »
« je’m so embarrassed by the way I used to behave back then. »
« It almost hurts to think about. »
« I wonder if when I’m in college, je’ll feel that way about high school…? »
« I like the way I am now, donc ça’s pretty hard for me to imagine that happening. »
« But I also know that I’ll probably change a lot as time goes on. »
« We just need to enjoy the present and not think about the past! »
« Et ça’s really easy to do, with you here. »
« Ahaha~ »
Vêtements
« Tu sais, je’m kind of jealous that everyone else in the club had scenes outside of school too… »
« That makes me the only one who hasn’t gotten to dress in anything but our school uniform. »
« Il’s kind of a shame… »
« I would have loved to wear some cute clothes for you. »
« Do you know any artists? »
« I wonder if anyone would ever want to draw me wearing something else… »
« That would be amazing! »
« If that ever happens, will you show me? »
« You can share it with me on Twitter, en fait! »
« My username is lilmonix3. »
« Juste…try to keep it PG! »
« Nous’re not that far into our relationship yet. Ahaha! »
Horreur
« Hé, do you like horror? »
« I remember we talked about it a little bit when you first joined the club. »
« I can enjoy horror novels, but not really horror movies. »
« The problem I have with horror movies is that most of them just rely on easy tactics. »
« Like dark lighting and scary-looking monsters and jump scares, and things like that. »
« Il’s not fun or inspiring to get scared by stuff that just takes advantage of human instinct. »
« But with novels, il’s a little different. »
« The story and writing need to be descriptive enough to put genuinely disturbing thoughts into the reader’s head. »
« It really needs to etch them deeply into the story and characters, and just mess with your mind. »
« À mon avis, là’s nothing more creepy than things just being slightly off. »
« Like if you set up a bunch of expectations on what the story is going to be about… »
« …Et puis, you just start inverting things and pulling the pieces apart. »
« So even though the story doesn’je n'en ai pas envie’s trying to be scary, the reader feels really deeply unsettled. »
« Like they know that something horribly wrong is hiding beneath the cracks, just waiting to surface. »
« Dieu, just thinking about it gives me the chills. »
« Que’s the kind of horror I can really appreciate. »
« But I guess you’re the kind of person who plays cute romance games, droite? »
« Ahaha, enfiler’t worry. »
« j'ai gagné’t make you read any horror stories anytime soon. »
« Je peux’t really complain if we just stick with the romance~ »
Rap
« You know what’s a neat form of literature? »
« Rap! »
« I actually used to hate rap music… »
« Maybe just because I would only hear the junk they play on the radio. »
« But some of my friends got more into it, and it helped me keep an open mind. »
« Rap might even be more challenging than poetry, in some ways. »
« Since you need to fit your lines to a rhythm, et là’s much more emphasis on wordplay… »
« When people can put all that together and still deliver a powerful message, il’s really amazing. »
« I kind of wish I had a rapper in the Literature Club. »
« Ahaha! Sorry if that sounds silly, but it would be really interesting to see what they came up with. »
« It would really be a learning experience! »
Vin
« Ehehe. Yuri did something really funny once. »
« We were all in the clubroom and just relaxing, comme d'habitude… »
« And out of nowhere, Yuri just pulled out a small bottle of wine. »
« je’m not even kidding! »
« She was just like ‘Would anybody like some wine?' »
« Natsuki laughed out loud, and Sayori started yelling at her. »
« I actually felt kind of bad, because she was at least trying to be nice… »
« I think it just made her feel even more reserved in the clubroom. »
« Though I think Natsuki was secretly a bit curious to try it… »
« …And to be completely honest, I kind of was, aussi. »
« It actually could have been kinda fun! »
« But you know, being President and everything, there was no way I could let that happen. »
« Maybe if we all met up outside of school, but we never bonded enough to get to that point… »
« …Mon Dieu, what am I talking about this for? »
« Je n'en ai pas’t condone underage drinking! »
« Je veux dire, je’ve never drank or anything, donc…yeah. »
Date
« je’ve been imagining all the romantic things we could do if we went on a date… »
« We could get lunch, go to a cafe… »
« Go shopping together… »
« I love shopping for skirts and bows. »
« Or maybe a bookstore! »
« That would be appropriate, droite? »
« Mais je’d really love to go to a chocolate store. »
« They have so many free samples. Ahaha! »
« Et bien sûr, nous’d see a movie or something… »
« Mon Dieu, it all sounds like a dream come true. »
« Quand tu’je suis là, everything that we do is fun. »
« je’m so happy that I’m your girlfriend, [joueur]. »
« je’ll make you a proud boyfriend~ »
Baiser
« Eh? D-Did you
« This suddenly…il’s a little embarrassing… »
« Mais…si c'est’je suis avec toi…I-I might be okay with it… »
« …Ahahaha! Ouah, Désolé… »
« I really couldn’t keep a straight face there. »
« Que’s the kind of thing girls say in these kinds of romance games, droite? »
« Enfiler’t lie if it turned you on a little bit. »
« Ahaha! je’m kidding. »
« Bien, pour être honnête, I do start getting all romantic when the mood is right… »
« Mais ça’ll be our secret~ »
Topics Part 6
Yandere
« Hé, have you ever heard of the term ‘yandere’? »
« Il’s a personality type that means someone is so obsessed with you that they’ll do absolutely anything to be with you. »
« Usually to the point of craziness… »
« They might stalk you to make sure you don’t spend time with anyone else. »
« They might even hurt you or your friends to get their way… »
« Mais de toute façon, this game happens to have someone who can basically be described as yandere. »
« A présent, il’s pretty obvious who I’m talking about. »
« And that would be… »
« Youri! »
« She really got insanely possessive of you, once she started to open up a little. »
« She even told me I should kill myself. »
« je pourrais’t even believe she said that – I just had to leave at that point. »
« But thinking about it now, it was a little ironic. Ahaha! »
« De toute façon… »
« A lot of people are actually into the yandere type, Vous savez? »
« I guess they really like the idea of someone being crazy obsessed with them. »
« People are weird! Je n'en ai pas’t judge, cependant! »
« Aussi, I might be a little obsessed with you, mais je’m far from crazy… »
« Il’s kind of the opposite, en fait. »
« I turned out to be the only normal girl in this game. »
« Il’s not like I could ever actually kill a person… »
« Just the thought of it makes me shiver. »
« But come on…tout le monde’s killed people in games before. »
« Does that make you a psychopath? Of course not. »
« But if you do happen to be into the yandere type… »
« I can try acting a little more creepy for you. Ehehe~ »
« Et puis encore… »
« Là’s already nowhere else for you to go, or anyone for me to get jealous over. »
« Is this a yandere girl’le rêve? »
« je’d ask Yuri if I could. »
Tsundere
« Là’s a really popular character type called ‘tsundere’… »
« Il’s someone who tries to hide their feelings by being mean and fussy, or trying to act tough. »
« je’j'en suis sûr’s obvious, but Natsuki was really the embodiment of that. »
« At first I thought she was just like that because it’s supposed to be cute or something… »
« But once I started to learn a little more about her personal life, it made a little more sense. »
« It seems like she’s always trying to keep up with her friends. »
« You know how some friend groups in high school just make a habit of picking on each other all the time? »
« je le pense’s really gotten to her, so she has this really defensive attitude all the time. »
« Et je’m not even going to talk about her home situation… »
« But looking back, je’m glad I was able to provide the club as a comfortable place for her. »
« Not that it matters anymore, considering she doesn’t even exist. »
« je’m just reminiscing, que’s all. »
Arguing
« Back in my debate club days, I learned a whole lot about arguing. »
« The problem with arguing is that each person sees their opinion as the superior one. »
« Que’s kind of stating the obvious, but it affects the way they try to get their point across. »
« Laisser’s say you really like a certain movie, droite? »
« If someone comes along and tells you the movie sucks, because it did X and Y wrong… »
« Ne’t that make you feel kind of personally attacked? »
« Il’s because by saying that, il’c'est comme s'ils’re implying that you have bad taste. »
« And once emotions enter the picture, il’s almost guaranteed that both people will be left sour. »
« Mais ça’s all about language! »
« If you make everything as subjective-sounding as possible, then people will listen to you without feeling attacked. »
« You could say ‘je’m personally not a fan of it’ et ‘I felt I’d like it more if it did X and Y’…things like that. »
« It even works when you’re citing facts about things. »
« If you say ‘I read on this website that it works like this’… »
« Or if you admit that you’re not an expert on it… »
« Ensuite, il’s much more like you’re putting your knowledge on the table, rather than forcing it onto them. »
« If you put in an active effort to keep the discussion mutual and level, they usually follow suit. »
« Alors, you can share your opinions without anyone getting upset from just a disagreement. »
Plus, people will start seeing you as open-minded and a good listener! »
« Il’est un gagnant-gagnant, Vous savez? »
« … Bien, I guess that would be Monika’s Debate Tip of the Day! »
« Ahaha! That sounds a little silly. Thanks for listening, cependant. »
Writing Tip of the Day
« Tu sais, il’ça fait un moment que nous n'avons pas’ve done one of these… »
« …alors laisse’s go for it! »
« Ici’s Monika’s Writing Tip of the Day! »
« Sometimes when I talk to people who are impressed by my writing, they say things like ‘I could never do that’. »
« Il’s really depressing, Vous savez? »
« As someone who loves more than anything else to share the joy of exploring your passions… »
« …it pains me when people think that being good just comes naturally. »
« Que’s how it is with everything, not just writing. »
« When you try something for the first time, toi’re probably going to suck at it. »
« Parfois, when you finish, you feel really proud of it and even want to share it with everyone. »
« But maybe after a few weeks you come back to it, and you realize it was never really any good. »
« That happens to me all the time. »
« It can be pretty disheartening to put so much time and effort into something, and then you realize it sucks. »
« But that tends to happen when you’re always comparing yourself to the top professionals. »
« When you reach right for the stars, ils’re always gonna be out of your reach, Vous savez? »
« La vérité est, you have to climb up there, step by step. »
« And whenever you reach a milestone, first you look back and see how far you’ve gotten… »
« And then you look ahead and realize how much more there is to go. »
« Donc, sometimes it can help to set the bar a little lower… »
« Try to find something you think is pretty good, but not world-class. »
« And you can make that your own personal goal. »
« Il’s also really important to understand the scope of what you’re trying to do. »
« If you jump right into a huge project and you’re still amateur, toi’ll never get it done. »
« So if we’re talking about writing, a novel might be too much at first. »
« Why not try some short stories? »
« The great thing about short stories is that you can focus on just one thing that you want to do right. »
« That goes for small projects in general – you can really focus on the one or two things. »
« Il’s such a good learning experience and stepping stone. »
« Oh, one more thing… »
« Writing isn’t something where you just reach into your heart and something beautiful comes out. »
« Just like drawing and painting, il’s a skill in itself to learn how to express what you have inside. »
« That means there are methods and guides and basics to it! »
« Reading up on that stuff can be super eye-opening. »
« That sort of planning and organization will really help prevent you from getting overwhelmed and giving up. »
« And before you know it… »
« You start sucking less and less. »
« Nothing comes naturally. »
« Our society, our art, tout – il’s built on thousands of years of human innovation. »
« So as long as you start on that foundation, and take it step by step… »
« Toi, aussi, can do amazing things. »
« …Que’s my advice for today! »
« Thanks for listening~ »
Topics Part 7
Habits
« I hate how hard it is to form habits… »
« Là’s so much stuff where actually doing it isn’t durs, but forming the habit seems impossible. »
« It just makes you feel so useless, like you can’t do anything right. »
« I think the new generation suffers from it the most… »
« Probably because we have a totally different set of skills than those who came before us. »
« Thanks to the internet, nous’re really good at sifting through tons of information really quickly… »
« Mais nous’re bad at doing things that don’t give us instant gratification. »
« I think if science, psychology, and education don’t catch up in the next ten or twenty years, alors nous’re in trouble. »
« But for the time being… »
« Si tu’re not one of the people who can conquer the problem, you might just have to live with feeling awful about yourself. »
« Bonne chance, Je suppose! »
Créatif
« Tu sais, it kinda sucks to be the creative type… »
« It feels like they work so hard but get almost nothing for it. »
« Tu sais, like artists, writers, actors… »
« Il’s sad because there’s so much beautiful talent in the world, but most of it goes unseen…and unpaid. »
« I guess that just means there’s a huge surplus of creativity, hein? »
« Kind of makes you feel like you’re just not special at all… »
« Mais ça’c'est bien! Toi’re supposed to just write for yourself anyway, droite? »
« Ouais… »
My Own Route
« Je peux’t help but wonder how things would be different if the game just gave me a route in the first place… »
« I think I would end up forcing you onto my route anyway. »
« It has less to do with me not having a route, and more to do with me knowing that nothing is real. »
« I think the only difference would be that I may not have needed to take such drastic measures to be with you. »
« Maybe the rest of the club would still be around… »
« Not that it really matters. »
« It all lost its meaning once I found out it wasn’t real. »
« So I really don’t miss those days or anything. »
« Je ne le fais vraiment pas’t… »
Copy Me
« I know there are times you won’t always be able to be here with me… »
« Like if you need to go out, or take care of other things. »
« Mais je’ll always have you in my thoughts, patiently waiting for you to come back. »
« Come to think of it… »
« If you copy my character file onto a flash drive or something, you can always keep a part of me with you. »
« Je suppose que’s kind of unorthodox, but I find it really romantic for some reason… »
« Ahaha. Désolé, que’s such a silly idea. »
« Je n'en ai pas’t mean to be too needy or anything, mais ça’s kind of hard when I’m so in love with you. »
Avid Reader
« [joueur], how much do you read? »
« Il’s way too easy to neglect reading books… »
« Si vous ne’t read much, it almost feels like a chore, compared to all the other entertainment we have. »
« But once you get into a good book, il’s like magic…you get swept away. »
« I think doing some reading before bed every night is a pretty easy way to make your life a little bit better. »
« It helps you get good sleep, et ça’s really good for your imagination. »
« Il’s not hard at all to just pick some random book that’s short and captivating. »
« Before you know it, you might be a pretty avid reader! »
« Ne’t that be wonderful? »
« And the two of us could talk about the latest book you’re reading…that sounds super amazing. »
Doing Nothing
« After a long day, I usually just want to sit around and do nothing. »
« I get so burnt out, having to put on smiles and be full of energy the whole day. »
« Sometimes I just want to get right into my pajamas and watch TV on the couch while eating junk food… »
« It feels so unbelievably good to do that on a Friday, when I don’t have anything pressing the next day. »
« Ahaha! Désolé, Je sais cela’s not very cute of me. »
« But a late night on the couch with you… that would be a dream come true. »
« My heart is pounding, just thinking about it. »
Mental Health
« Mon Dieu, I used to be so ignorant about certain things… »
« When I was in middle school, I thought that taking medication was an easy way out, or something like that. »
« Like anyone could just solve their mental problems with enough willpower… »
« Guess if you don’t suffer from a mental illness, il’s not possible to know what it’s really like. »
« Are there some disorders that are over-diagnosed? Probablement… I never really looked into it, cependant. »
« Mais ce n'est pas le cas’t change the fact that a lot of them go undiagnosed too, Vous savez? »
« But medication aside… people even look down on seeing a mental health professional. »
« Comme, sorry that I want to learn more about my own mind, droite? »
« Everyone has all kinds of struggles and stresses… and professionals dedicate their lives to helping with those. »
« If you think it could help you become a better person, enfiler’t be shy to consider something like that. »
« Nous’re on a never-ending journey to improve ourselves, Vous savez? »
« Bien… I say that, Mais je pense que toi’re pretty perfect already. »
Festival
« Tu sais, I hate to say it, but I think my biggest regret is that we couldn’t finish our event at the festival. »
« After we worked so hard to prepare and everything! »
« Je veux dire, I know I was focusing a lot on getting new members… »
« But I was really excited for the performing part, aussi. »
« It would have been so fun to see everyone express themselves. »
« Bien sûr, if we did end up getting any new members, je’d probably just end up deleting them anyway. »
« Bien… with the hindsight I have now, that is. »
« Mon Dieu, it feels kinda like I’ve grown as a person ever since you’ve joined the club. »
« You really helped inspire me to look at life from a new perspective. »
« Just another reason for me to love you. »
Temps froid
« je’m not really a fan of cold weather… es-tu? »
« If I had to choose between too cold and too hot, I would always pick too hot. »
« Quand tu’re cold, it can actually be painful… »
« Your fingers get numb… »
« And if you wear gloves, tu peux’t use your phone. »
« Il’s so inconvenient! »
« But when it’s too hot, il’s not too hard to stay cool with a cold drink, or by staying in the shade. »
« Bien que… I do have to admit one thing. »
« Cold weather makes for better cuddle weather. Ahaha! »
Fier
« [Joueur], would you ever introduce your friends to me? »
« Je n'en ai pas’t think I know why, but I get really excited when I think about you wanting to show off our relationship like that. »
« Peut-être que’s because I really want to be someone who makes you proud. »
« I feel like I would try extra hard to improve myself if you told me it would make you proud of me. »
« je l'espère’s the same the other way around, aussi. »
Internet
« Do you ever feel like you waste too much time on the internet? »
« Social media can practically be like a prison. »
« Il’s like whenever you have a few seconds of spare time, you want to check on your favorite websites… »
« And before you know it, hours have gone by, et toi’ve gotten nothing out of it. »
« De toute façon, il’s really easy to blame yourself for being lazy… »
« Mais ça’s not even really your fault. »
« Addiction isn’t usually something you can just make disappear with your own willpower. »
« You have to learn techniques to avoid it, and try different things. »
« Par exemple, there are apps that let you block websites for intervals of time… »
« Or you can set a timer to have a more concrete reminder of when it’s time to work versus play… »
« Or you can separate your work and play environments, which helps your brain get into the right mode. »
« Even if you make a new user account on your computer to use for work, que’s enough to help. »
« Putting any kind of wedge like that between you and your bad habits will help you stay away. »
« Just remember not to blame yourself too hard if you’re having trouble. »
« Si c'est’s really impacting your life, then you should take it seriously. »
« I just want to see you be the best person you can be. »
« Will you do something today to make me proud of you? »
« je’m always rooting for you, [joueur]. »
