Jack's voice is so elegant but also has an undertone of creepiness to it. It fits his character so excellently! I also love how I assume the same voice actor handled the first essence trailer, he sounded more soft and solemn there when in actuality it was all pretend like Tuberose's entire plan in the event.
0:30 I have a theory that Sway maybe was a little bit into Datura and then Datura noticing that used her for her own plan. That would also explain why Sway didn't even want to say goodbye to truth and inference as she felt that whatever she did in here was for nothing.
I feel like Sway didn’t say goodbye because her trust in people was ruined after what Datura said. The person she was willing to die for basically threw her away. She probably didn’t want to get attached to anyone ever again after that.
I think their story kind of mirrored The Death of Alcestis (that painting in Datura's house), because after "sacrificing for the one she loved" and "coming back from her death", Sway became aloof towards everything just like Alcestis in the painting's lore.
Hey, can someone remind me why Datura betrayed Sway? What did Tuberose offer exactly? Also I thought Sway and Datura having a couple dynamic was pretty much obviously part of the story It kinda shocked me to see Netease do that ngl
@@asrealkatsikaki6306 Datura kinda didn't trust Sway, you see. She thought that Sway has another purpose of coming to the island before the sudden urge for her to suddenly help Datura. And it kinda mirrors Melly's main lore with her husband too, if you think about it in a deep aspect.
@@asrealkatsikaki6306 Here's what I got based on Datura's testimony: she was afraid Sway's act of asissting her, namely "leave with evidences of Rosemary's crime and come back with authority to catch her" would affect the innocent islanders (I'm not buying this). Though in chapter 5 Datura said she thought Sway only fake at helping her but just using her to investigate the island. I personally can't understand what could Datura gain by betraying Sway, since she only mentioned that she "couldn't let Sway leave" while Tuberose probably asked for Sway's diary. (This was not included in the story but maybe he also offered to help her hide the corpse and somehow blame Rosemary for murder? If that's the case then girl got the biggest bamboozle in her life lol). About tragic female couple dynamic, it's not that shocking because Netease once ship Emily and Emma in their official backstory deduction already.
netease i need you to answer to me, how i will be able to move and continue my normal life after this anniv's event ending? i cant. netease u will have to pay for my therapy.
This is what I got: Rosemary has escaped the island with help from an outside company, but Datura is still left trapped in her house as she will likely never regain her position as leader of the island. She's still in prison, just a different kind of prison ( her own home, lost in the obscurities of darkness). It's revealed that Datura worked with Jack to poison Sway ( before we thought that Datura was the good guy) but then regretted it. Which is why the animation says: "Datura, severing love with grasping snare." Because she broke Sway's trust and love for her. The reason Datura did this is because Sway said she would come back with outside reinforcements, which Datura didn't want because she feared for the islanders safety. A part of Datura also didn't trust Sway and thought Sway was using her. They were a tragic couple. Sway might have realized Datura's betrayal at some point, which is why she left without saying goodbye to Truth. The animation says: "Calumus, turning hope into despair." Either because Datura turned Sway's hope and trust into despair as she realized the former's betrayal or because Sway turned Datura's hope into despair ( because Datura was hopeful at first but then felt despair when she realized that she needed to poison Sway. Jack wanted the secret to the Oracle's plant specimens, which is why he poisoned Sway ( for the notebook) and why later he gained the Oracle's trust by taking the blame for poisoning ( so she would tell him the secret, as a plan B). I think? The company that helped Rosemary escape was actually Jack's and so something bad will happen to Rosemary now? Not sure. I would assume " Tuberose, at the edge of jeopardy." refers to how he was never actually on anyone's side and manipulated all of them but took a lot of risks, he was toying with fire, aka. 'at the edge of jeapordy'. "Rosemary, indulging in past memories" might mean she really was actually innocent and just wanted to be the Oracle of the island but was caught in a spiderweb ( animation.) All of them are now withered though. The tragedy was as beautiful as ever.
@@adefenselessnoob AW MAN this makes me like the story a bit more cuz i was pretty disappointed and mostly mad because of datura's betrayal since i wanted her and sway to have more than that and the plot twist of the betrayal left my soul real empty i also saw there was a way for datura to not end up in prison?? but idk how, i got her in prison like your explanation said ALSO TY!! this really helped me understand more . i am still empty because of datura and sway btw.
@@milonja69 No problem. Yeahh :( They would have been such a good pair! Especially since apparently they were meant to be a mythological reference to Admetus and Alcestis. Datura's betrayal was so sad. I guess she just cared more about the island than she did Sway or didn't trust her enough ( sad ).
Datura (melly) was the rightful ruler of the island but rosemary somehow got the position. Some time later sway (martha) and jack visit the island at the same time and meet rosemary and datura (important to note that sway was wearing a disguise at the time). Jack was sent by the DM guy to visit the island and gain Rosemary’s trust so he can learn the secret behind how she makes plants and stuff like that, while sway recognises datura is the rightful ruler and wants to help her claim her rightful spot. However Datura doesn’t trust Sway and gets annoyed at her for staying on the island for over a year without paying rent. She then finds out jack’s real motive for serving rosemary and makes a deal with him (he helps her kill sway and she will give him Rosemary’s formula). Sway comes back with a diary providing information about rosemary (which will stop rosemary from being in charge) but then datura kills her by placing a flower on her head before releasing bees (sway isn’t aware that datura intended to kill her though). However sway doesn’t die and is instead buried alive (she manages to crawl out and leave the island though). Datura then gets accused for murdering the victim (no one knows sway survived) and is left on trial. Sway still wanting to help datura (also not being aware that she tried to kill her) then sends a letter to inference asking him to investigate the case and prove datura is innocent. Swag then comes back to the island to help inference however she’s wearing another disguise and keeps her identity a secret. Jack realises she’s the victim though but doesn’t say anything as he comes up with a plan to gain Rosemary’s trust. Eventually the trial starts and inference is successful in proving datura is innocent (by showing evidence that Jack was there and it was his bees), as well as revealing sway’s true identity and that the victim isn’t dead etc. The judge then tries to punish Rosemary but Jack interrupts her, taking all the blame from her and is sent to prison instead. After the trial Rosemary vists Jack since he took the blame for her and now has her full trust, giving him the formula. She then disappears (most likely ran away from the island). Jack now having reached his goal also leaves the island as DM (somehow) replaced the villagers with his workers, allowing Jack to leave. Datura on the other hand , isn’t accepted by her people and therefor can’t be the ruler of the island, leaving her to rot in her home (she then reveals to inference and lady truth about the deal she had with Jack). Sway finally leaves the island with inference and lady truth but doesn’t say goodbye to them and is instead, a bit cold towards them, concluding the story.
@@lattewitch1937 that was such an amazing summary. But you forgot to say, you can get a different ending for Datura (it only happens if you ask her about sway at the end instead of tuberose), where she gets arrested by Jose and goes to jail. Basically Datura can't have a good ending but the others escape, f
Meu inglês não é tão bom então algumas partes eu não entendi, mas essa parte final ficou com uma pegada bem sinistra e melancólica. Alguém pra resumir?
