Is Six a Villain or a Victim? | Little Nightmares 2 Theory 

Ahh I forgot to put in a screenshot for Gamersault! Go check out his channel here: ru-vid.com/show-UCZ9zJNZDmuQQ7Uw97Kdjwkw He seems like a cool guy and his theories are great!

This makes things just sadder cause then she looked in Mono's eyes saw his desire to connect and fear of loneliness and was like. "Welp ..I don't need that ,die."

Mono didn’t just disturb her music box isolation. In fact, when he comes, she’s non aggressive and shuffles towards him when he calls for her. Almost like she might just follow him out if she could. He can run right up to her and touch her and she won’t harm him. Hit her with the axe and she just shoved him (non lethally) away. It’s only when he harms the box that she becomes angry and afraid. It seems to physically pain her, perhaps because the music box is part of anchoring the change to her body or perhaps it’s just terror knowing that while she has it she’s ‘safe’ and by destroying it, Mono is dragging her back out into the world of monsters and fear. In a way, by trying to save her, Mono condemns her to a worse fate.

I just want a good wholesome ending where six and mono holding hands and walking out... is that too much to ask for?

The fear of being alone is monophobia which also ties into Mono's name

13:29 “Time is broken, we don’t know how long she’s been in there for” That is such a good point. The Six that was calling for Mono behind the TV is definitely not the one who Mono reverted back to normal, metaphorically speaking. Whatever happened to her in the tower changed her for better or for worse... we don’t really know. But what we do know is that Six was mainly angry at Mono for extracting her from her fantasy, her perspective is very different from Mono’s. To her, she felt safe being alone in a room of solicitude, and then Mono came in and ruined everything. Just like you said, Six followed her instincts and caught him, but ultimately decided that she didn’t need him anymore. It’s really sad that this happened to them, they didn’t deserve it at all.

I interpreted Six's hunger like this: When she was taken by The Thin Man, it left a part of her soul behind, leaving her with an endless empty hunger that will never be filled. Also might be part of why she betrayed Mono, but I'm not sure

I just realized why we only see the girls raincoat float to the surface but never see her body, I originally thought that the girl may have actually survived but I just noticed that at the very end it appears the pretender may have actually caught her and if so used her ability to make her dissapear, which as we've seen, causes the body of the victim to seemingly shrink or evaporate, leaving their clothes behind.

Maybe she realises that Mono is helping her overcome her trauma but isn't ready to heal? She grabs his hand, but when she sees his face she realises just how much trust she's put into him and freaks out due to her not being mentally in the right place to heal.

Plus, if you look closely, she's hesitant before leaving, holds her face as if trying to hold in tears, and doesn't particularly walk away immediately as if she's proud of possibly killing someone she was closest to.

I really wanna see some kind of happy ending for mono

I think that due to the circumstances of the world of Little Nightmares, it’s a bit unfair of us to make judgements of character based on morals and values that will most likely get this child killed. Instead of a villain, she is a consequence.

Let's not forget that she's only a nine year old child who can't process things as logically as an adult would, especially when she's dealt with trauma and is constantly fighting for her life. She acts on instinct because that's the one thing that has been helping her all this time. This is why I can't hate her and why I don't think she's evil. She's a victim who sadly survived through the harshest of circumstances.

both mono and six are the villain to the other. to mono, he is trying to do the right thing. to six, he is trying to hurt her. to six, she is trying to stop him from becoming the thin man, to mono, she is betraying him despite all he did to try and help her. they both are well intentioned, but its a big misunderstanding

I think the moment when mono hid under the bed , while six was taken by the thin man was the moment she realized she couldn’t count on him. Even though Monos fate is so sad, this video is honestly making me rethink how I look at Six.

The sum up: Us: “So is she a villain or victim?” The creators of LN: *Yes*

A few things I noticed: Mono is the one to grab the gun and fire at the hunter. Six attacks the bully only after Mono crushes several bullies to save her. Six breaks mannequin fingers while Mono is also crushing fake hands with a hammer. Mono is the one to incinerate the doctor, and Six gives him a surprised look before settling by the fire. I think she learned a lot from Mono in the first place, and they’re both just trying to survive.

I like this theory, a lot of the ones I've seen tend to forget or kind of ignore the fact that these are children we're talking about. Most adults couldn't handle the stuff these kids go through in these games and as someone who has been around small kids practically my whole life I can tell you that, Six's response doesn't seem that far fetched to me. Children often have trouble with emotions since they're young and don't have that all sorted yet and won't for a very long time. Some can be quick to anger and hold grudges and considering the fact that 1) Mono didn't help save her from the thin man and when he tried he couldn't. 2) Him not helping her lead to her becoming the monster and god only knows how being turned into something like that would feel like. 3) He destroys her music box, she's already stuck in this awful form and all she wants is some peace. And the transformation from her monster form to her "normal" self was obviously painful, evidenced by her screams and cries when it happens. Six has every reason, in her mind, to be mad at Mono and in those final moments, her anger prevaled, leading to her dropping him. And she also probably had some reasons to it, including the ones mentioned above it was also Mono who let the thin man free, if Mono hadn't done that, Six wouldn't have had to go through the (most likely) traumatic experience of being turned into a monster. She might've been afraid it would happen again.

Thank you for this analysis, actually- I see so many times people seeing characters acting out due to trauma and immediately labeling them as irredeemable villains or pure evil, and it's good to see someone putting out a more well-rounded analysis of it rather than dismissing it as "six betrayed mono, six bad"

Something that I noticed even in my first playthrough of Little Nightmares II is that Six is _scared_ of Mono, even before the Thin Man becomes a factor. Three times she pulls you back from the TV to save you, and with each increasing time you ignore her wishes and return to messing with your powers, she trusts you less. Look at her animations right after she pulls Mono from the TV - the first time, she just seems confused and concerned, but the second time, she flinches away as Mono moves to gets up, scooting away a little bit before getting up herself. It's even worse the third time she pulls him out - she scrambles away from him frantically before the appearance of the Thin Man distracts her. She knows that Mono is messing with things he can't control, and she knows that she's in danger because of his actions (which is true, since she was the one who ended up being taken). I know I'm in the minority with this opinion, but I fully sympathise with her dropping Mono in the end. She kept ending up in horrible situations because she was following him.

Y'know, I almost felt like I could see her face after Mono didn't save her while he was hiding under the bed, and I totally felt like she felt betrayed by Mono. The way she was just frantically trying to get him to help her, I felt kinda bad for her, and even though in the end she dropped me, I was shocked but I understood. She'll do whatever it takes to survive and kill anyone she hates while doing so.

Actually mono doesn’t choose to hide he seems to be feeling pain whenever either he and the thin man are too close to each other or when the thin man sounds a certain pitch making mono grab his head and fall to the ground with pain u can see it when he first sees the thin man coming out the tv and when he’s grabbing six u can see him in pain underneath the bed it’s not that he doesn’t help six it’s that he couldn’t help six

This is an interesting question maybe a little bit of both.

The entire six's mindset in one sentence: " Fine, I'll do it myself!"

I've always wondered what Six was thinking when she betrayed Mono. I believed that she might have a justified reason why she did it.

I totally agree with this. You gotta remember that Six is very young and her losing people she trusts, trying to save them, and even almost dying it's a lot for someone her age to take in. I do believe that she has been warped by the darkness due to other theory's heard. All the character in the game so far seem to have a dark interest, motivation, etc. And in my opinion I think these characters were warped into what that the desire or whatever it is. Maybe because she was in that realm, and ended up turning into a huge creature due to her insecurities and the representation of them in physical for, a part of that follows her when she turned back normal Actually, I don't know if this sounds stupid, but maybe that's all the creatures are like; they become warped and shaped into a physical version of their desires, insecurities, etc. I think of that because of a comic a read that is kind of like this on webtoon, called home sweet home. Everyone has some kind of parasite in they're brains, and they end up changing into what they desire most, becoming horrifying creatures and turns the world into an apocalypse world, maybe it's the same thing here, just the plot and story is a bit different

I understand Six's point of view. I was upset of what she did to mono, but what you said in this video really makes sense. I'm just really sad how good of a relationship Six and Mono grew and they just lost it.

I feel like we cant really answer this question until we know about six and her background The farthest back we can go with six is at the nest and we dont even know why or how shes there (we don't even know if the short haired ggirl is really her since all the children in this world look exactly the same) Besides so far six has grown up in a world where it is quite literally eat or be eaten. its probably hard to trust or show kindness to someone after that

People:im soo happy six is my favorite character People playing the end of the game:i freaking hate six

So, I’m saying this before I watch the video but this is my theory, when six turned into a monster, the reason it was so fast for her to turn into one was because she was controlled since the beginning, her monster was always holding the music box, which was what she had been holding in the beginning when we find her, she also drew the tower and lots of tally marks, meaning they trapped her there for a long time, and have her mental state under control, she’s just fighting against that feeling with the music box, which she is emotionally attached to, so as a monster it’s what’s keeping her as a monster, which explains why when you break it, she goes back to normal, this can also prove that everyone in the little nightmares world used to be normal. Now, after six returns, she knows the feeling of being one of the distorted monsters, and the monsters you turn into are just your biggest fear/s, furthermore explaining why the music box was so special to her in monster form. So, with that in mind, the whole thing ties into when six drops Mono, it’s because when Mono lost his mask, she recognized that he was the thin man, you can see her think wether or not she should drop him, and thinking that if Mono dies, the thin man would never really happen, but it really just starts the time line over and over again. Going over to Mono and the thin man, the whole thing is a time paradox, so the thin man, previously mono, is actually trying to help present mono, to escape with her, when he kills you it’s because he’s under the tower’s control, but you can see that when present mono “defeats” thin man with his powers, you can see the thin man hold up his hand, telling mono to stop because he knows that he lost the paper bag there, starting it over again. Short Version, Six is a Victim

I'm glad you made a video from Six's perspective. Both of 'em are poor kids stuck in this world.

I think in Little nightmare 2, Six actually didn't want to hurt Mono, considering how she helps Mono til the end, I am not sure why she drops Mono, but the action she snaps her hand out like she has touched something creepy and drops Mono, there should be some reason why she dropped him. She kinda cared him everytime she pulls out Mono from Television. So it could be too ridiculous if she dropped him because she is.. well.. scary bitc. Some people theorize the reason of betrayal is because Mono looks like thin man, or whatever but I am not sure. there were many hat skins that can see his face long time ago, you know which means, WE GOD DAMN NEED LITTLE NIGHTMARE 3 or maybe other Mobile game This is the first time I want to play more big franchise game in mobile If you hadn't played the very little nightmare, go ahead it is worth a penny

If you’ve seen the datamining video that shows Mono’s face as he ages into the Thin Man, you can see that Mono as a child looks absolutely nothing like the Thin Man. So I just don’t buy the idea that Six “recognizes” him as the Thin Man and that’s why she drops him. I think her survivor’s instinct has gotten so toxic that while she started out with relatively good intentions, she did eventually succumb to her darkness and became a full on villain.

Mono isn't a weak boy. He's the guy who was leading her all their journey but all in all six decided to kill him.

This is why little nightmares is good without the gameplay as it creates so much theories of what’s gonna happen next or of there will be a next

She's a victim who's slowly becoming a villain. At least, that's how I see her..

It makes sense because the only theories about Six being evil are the same people who aren't aware of Very Little Nightmares existing

Theory: dark six is the girl in the raincoat, therefore the secret ending isn’t growing up, it’s fear.

I can't ignore the fact that Six did some twisted things along the game that has nothing to do with surviving, like breaking the fingers of one of the hands in the hospital while waiting for Mono, or sitting in front of the incinerator while the doctor was burning inside alive (also eating a nome in the first game) But talking about the end I just see her decision was logical. Because the first betrayal was made by Mono. And even with that she hesitated before letting him go. She's not a villain but she is a complicated character

Everyone surprised that mono is the thin man. Me who is wondering how the chair and his clothes grew with him. And also if you notice this there is a hat which is similar to the thin man in the hats collection

Six is a victim who turned into a half-villain due to the tragedy's and the suffering she went through.She takes that on mono and however stand in her way through her journey trying to stop the signal.This little girl has a traumatized life and as I said she takes it on everyone else because she thinks everyone is out to get her. That's why in Little Nightmares1 she absorbs the lady' power and sucks the life out of the residence who come to eat. So basically six is a VICTIM who has a extreme amount of hatred which is normal in the real world. So yeah SIX IS A VICTIM through my perspective.

9:59 That suitcase on the left is very very similar to the one six wakes up in in the first game. The positioning of the pictures and the way theyre taped on is also identical. Though the pictures themselves are very distant, from what I can see they have the same images on them. ALthough, the one here is a lot more battered, and the handle is further up than on the one in the first game.

I love the saying "your shadow is your true self" in this case for six , the only way to survive was to embrace that side, in such a dark world. Great video! Also I think little nightmares is trying to tell us something about our world and how we all deep down only have the one need, survival and we'll do anything to get to it.

I really enjoy watching your little nightmares theories. Little nightmares is so mysterious that so many different theories could make sense. It's cool to see how everyone interprets what's happening in the game differently.

I love what you said about "Six being a survivor" because it's so true. People are quick to label her as "evil", but she's gone through so much.

13:15 Actually, that is NOT her real face. Her face looks pretty and normal to others but when she looks into a mirror, she sees herself like that and that is the reason as to why she broke all the mirrors around her. I think that while she consumed children souls to keep herself young forever, she actually turned herself into a monster which can only be seen through mirrors.

Fanfact- There is no villain but someone who can’t control their hate

thank you! i’m so tired of everyone of everyone assuming she is evil. to me, she is just a survivor of serve childhood trauma

still, don't think Mono deserves to be betrayed by Six.

Cool ideas, for me Six always seemed almost entirely instinctual; eating the Nome when the hunger is too bad, taking help only when it's needed, very little loyalty, having to be reminded to help Mono the first time as she was going to just wander off after he did the bridge for her etc. In the Signal Tower it's about the same only her small perspective is even smaller and she's like an actual animal version of herself, attacking blindly when disturbed etc. I kind of assumed if she wasn't all there during that sequence then when she's "normal" again, her memory isn't of being saved but of Mono messing with her and hurting her, she's got almost no time to process and it's not like Mono explained what was happening so she's rushing and confused - really great story-telling to let us personalize the story in our understanding 🙏

Mono betrayed her

One thing i noticed is that Six during the game has been extremely vengeful towards anything that attacked her, shooting the hunter, attacking the porcelain student and watching the doctor burning. In the ending it looks like Six was going to help Mono, she coud have notice the semblance between him and the Thin Man and dropped him.

why do i relate to six when he says she will never trust anyone again?

When Mono tried to save Six from the T.V. he covers his eyes with his head down as if in shame, he may have felt bad he couldn't help her. He does it in the tower when he is trapped there.

Ohhh I didn’t notice that when the tall man came for six, she reached for mono and mono ducked his head and hides/doesn’t want to watch.

I liked that every comment some of them are talking about the theories...about mono got betrayed...some of them still want to defending six that its not her fault... For me is...I LOVE MONO AND SIX (cuz they're my fav caracter) They put a lot of hate towards six and it breaks my heart into pieces so much....dont they know that six was in control by the shadow six from the secret ending??? she looks very tired about it tho....when the shadow six dissappear.... I think mono and six have the same endless time loop....mono become the thin man and six become the lady...and they got killed by their child self...over and over...and over again....so endless...thats very sad....one of them got killed by their child self who have the power and one of them got EATEN and absorbed their power by their child self who were very hungry... And they didnt even notice that six is trying to stop mono every time from opening the door where the thin man was waiting...for that all of this wouldnt happened.....but mono was so curious of whats behind the door... SIX IS TRYING TO SAVE MONO YALL!! They should notice too...that mono is collecting hats and six is collecting masks you all know why their collecting hats and masks because thats what they will become. hats is for the thin man and masks is for the lady...thats what they will become when they grow up. what? Some of you says that six is not the lady because she become the monster like that blind man from the first game?? NO she IS THE LADY (there is so much evidence ya know) that monster six is still a child still listening to the music box until mono destroyed it Monster six is still a child y'know that When she got angry..she started to hit/smashing the floor like they're toys is taken away from them or someone is trying to break it (the music box seems like very important to her and she really naving a good peaceful time on her own like she want it to keep it that way and also she seem like dont need someone to save her) after tbe music box was destroyed...six look at mono in a cold hearted way filled with hatred Me be like: "why are you staring at me like that? ;-; is it because i destroyed your music box??? then im so sorry pls dont be mad at me ;D" And then the ending got me very silent ;-; But STILL i love mono and six 😀😀😀😁😁😁 I have no hate towards them at all because i enjoyed the game so much!!! I hope in LN3 their will end the time loop :D Edit: six will become the lady and runs the maw but very different like...the NEW lady or the sixth lady??? Idk

She is the victim that lived long enough to see herself become the villain

She may be a victim of her circumstances, but the moment she allowed her trauma to harm others, she became a villain.

She's been through lots of trauma and she's also *9 YEARS OLD.* I reckon regardless of what she ends up doing, she's a victim.

Maybe Dark Six is a representation of the childlike self that Six left behind, the shadow turned it’s head in disgust that Six was taking matters into her own hands without thinking about the consequences of her actions. Guilt follows you everywhere, it stalks Six like a shadow staring back at you in the first Little Nightmares. The self that she’s desperately trying to leave behind as it can only watch on from the darkness.

I just wanna say: I love her and no one can change my mind.

My theory if you bother readimg it: The hunter is the true hero of this story. Maybe somehow he knew that Six is a threat to world so he imprisioned her. And the music box is made by him to keep Six distracted from escaping. The reason why I think he made the music box is that in the world of little nightmares, there isn't anyone who has a gun or even any mentioned of guns in the game so maybe he has the engineering skills to make a gun and those bear traps, like how on earth can you find or buy that many bear traps. So maybe give my man Hunter some credit here also we don't really know that he is really dead or not so there could be a chance that he will be in the third game and give us explanations why he got Six imprisioned.

One thing that I always notice in the moment where the Thin Man takes Six is that like the other times when the Thin Man gets close Mono slows down and eventually when they're close enough Mono holds his head shakes it a bunch and seems to be in pain. He does this right when the Thin Man comes out off the telly as well. Mono tries to reach out to Six but then withdraws as his pain episode starts when the Thin Man comes in.

Also; By the time Six has been distorted, I feel like she's already lost all trust or need for Mono. She's realized not only can she at least somewhat survive on her own, she's already gotten into so much trouble because of him, and been "betrayed" in her eyes, that she doesn't want him around anymore. But that moment in the signal tower, notice something. At first, when Mono gets close to Six, she cowers away, as though afraid he'll betray her or get her into more trouble again, taking her away from her music box like he did at the start. But then, Mono calls to her, seemingly offering his safety and comfort. Saying "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, you're safe with me." Of course, that's not entirely what Mono was doing, but it might be what Six interpreted it as because I don't think she *realizes* entirely that she's been distorted. So, not entirely wanting to be alone herself, she decides to trust him. One last time, she puts all of her trust into Mono, hoping for comfort and company in her own loneliness. She even puts out her music box, something she guards with her *life,* for him to look at, and touch. She's sharing it with him, putting her trust in him. But what does Mono do? He takes advantage of her trust, "again" in her eyes. He breaks the music box with no remorse and while he's just trying to help, Six doesn't see it that way. He's just taken her last shred of hope and trust and ripped it to pieces before shoving it into a blender and pouring it into the void. He's betrayed her and hurt her so many times, and by the end when now their situations are reversed? Now that he's putting trust in Six, depending on her for his survival? She does what any child would do if someone was mean to them or hurt them. She repays him in full, breaking his trust just like he did to her. But while for most children this might mean taking a cookie from someone without permission because they did it to you first, this is leaving someone to die because, well, he did it to her first.

The reason she dropped Mono was paranoia, because she didn’t want him to die by her later. There’s an achievement called “It’s crueler to let him live.” That was her thoughts when she dropped Mono, she didn’t want to but she had to or else Mono would get eaten by her, even if she let Mono live and they went to the maw together she definitely would’ve ate him early on. In my opinion she’s a victim, because a giant part of her character is that she’s the survivor, and she’s lived long enough to become villain. It’s a balance and it wasn’t out of her control, she just tried to let Mono have an easier death.

3:58 six is in survival mode Ending of the game : six is in CREATIVE MODE.

You know that you talked about mono’s shadow in another video and it reveals that before we see it happening in the normal ending: the infinite loop ending ,we see he is thin man ..anyway if you look at Six’s shadow , it looks very much like a thin, tall gnome. Maybe she becomes a gnome, as her soul is fulfilled and every other gnome had the same story as Six...but she was lucky and survived each time .

the idea that part of why six let go of mono's hand at the end being because she recognized him as the thin man is absolutely how i read the moment when i played it also the scene where six gets trapped under the rubble and has to be rescued by mono is such a strange one... to me it really feels like six should've died there, and the moment between them was mono being like "woah, how are you alive?" lol

POV: You're living in a world full of nightmare, and all you ever want is to stay dormant in a fake sweet dream, accompanied by your beloved comfort music. Becoming a monster is much better than constantly running and hiding from the scary monsters. Before you punish her, open your heart and try to see the world through her eyes. Then you will understand why she closed her heart even from her former best friend.

I personally like to think it’s her soul leaving her body. The emptiness that that left was filled with hunger.

I feel like Six is anything but a villain

It might have been terrible what she did to Mono, but she is no villain. She's a tragedy if anything.

No one is evil from the start. Evil is not born within us, it's developed. Six overcame so much hardships and. And from what I saw, six always tried to support and help Mono whenever she can. She took the raincoat as a reminder of her guilt and maybe sway her never to do it again. But this time, she made the conscious choice of letting Mono go. She knows something that isn't clearly shown in the game, but is hinted in the small gestures that they make (this game is freakingly detailed it's kinda terrifying). Six is warry of Mono since the start, and it seems that Mono is desperately trying to hide something from her. Both of them looked directly in the eye before six dropped him. If you are hanging by youre friend's hand and is about to die and she is taking her sweet time to hoist you up, wouldn't you make gestures for her to hurry up? Mono did nothing of the sort. To us, it may seem like a cruel thing for six to do, but I actually think that they came to an understanding at that point. When Mono drops down, he doesn't look back up again, instead, he goes straight for the chair, and sits down. While Six exits through a TV screen, and briefly looks down on the ground in shame when she lands, grieving what she did, but reminding herself that it's a choice she had to make. I can't explain why tho, I just based on the small gestures they did in the game.

Six is my favourite character! She ain’t Evil, she’s just a child who just has Survivor’s Guilt.

Maybe little nightmares 2 was six remembering what happened when she tried to save the girl in the yellow raincoat, due to it looking almost identical to the ending of very little nightmares, and remembering she couldnt save the girl in the yellow raincoat, drops him. Then getting stomach pains due to over exaggerated survivor guilt / due to having time to think in the tv. And time to grow.

She is a Victim but turned into a Goddamn Heartless Villain and i am one of her Victim

Six was using Mono the entire time, not once did Six ever allow herself to be put in a situation where she heavily relied on Mono. As hard as it is to believe, Six saw Mono as an object she could use from the beginning, and as soon as she saw a way out without the need for him again, she let him go, she looked him dead in the eyes for a long pause with no emotion, and let the only person who truly wanted to help her, fall to his fate, surrounded by the monster responsible for his destiny of being used by the tower. It's quiet depressing, but it is called Little Nightmares I suppose. :(

Fun fact ( nothing to do with this ): Monophobia is a phobia / fear of being isolated or alone. At the end, Mono is alone in the Signal Tower.

I feel sad for six ☹️

game devs: write that down, write that down!

The shadow in the end credits scene resembles the Maw

The reason six puts on the raincoat when she finds it, is because she knows it was specificity the girl in the yellow raincoat’s raincoat because of the triangular hood

yeah i agree. i dont think shes the big villian everyone makes her out to be, they are both just traumatized and scared children. i also think in the school when you get six back from the bullies, she falls and smashes her head when you cut her down, this could possibly have concussed her? i dont think major brain damage, but definetly sounded rough

Now to be serious yeah six isn't that bad she sees that mono is bound to the TV singal so so yeah I would do the same to mono I wouldn't want to stay in that city either

The little nightmares world is evil, she just lives in it

Little nightmares is the best💛

Six certainly doesn't start or always was a villain, but I do think she ultimately becomes one. Let's not forget how Six and Mono's relationship started: he saved her. Judging by the tally marks Six had been kept in the Hunter's shack for around a month at this introduction Six is understandably a traumatised person, but events of LN2 reveal her darker side. First, she kills the unaware bully without hesitation, but given the circumstances, this is understandable. Second, while Mono is away in the hospital, Six is spending her time breaking fingers on the hands scattered about; a bit concerning, and finally, her decision to betray Mono. For contrast, Mono is more morally good, given that the game is yours to control you can choose otherwise, BUT there are two instances of trophies/achievements awarded for Mono being merciful: not killing the tethered bully, and not burning the doctor. This to me points to the implication that Mono is intended to harm/kill only when it's necessary, while Six sees it as the first resort. The events of LN speak for themselves: a character so controlled by this hunger is outright dangerous, but what matters more are her decisions. Accepting Mono and his "weakness" is being open to trying to make this world a better place, to break the cycle. Six's decision however is to accept the bleakness, punish the good-natured, and eventually, after consuming the Lady, become a part in maintaining it, as seen by her remaining on the island of the Maw after LN credits roll. Mono, meanwhile, even as the Thin Man seeks to break the cycle, hoping to change it, while Six opposes the hope itself. It'd be hard to classify Six as evil, but I do see her as a villain in this world by the end of the story.

I still see Six as a villain especially when i saw Mono in the end...Poor Mono he looked so devastated and became the thin man like Six m'dude atleast u could have pulled Mono outta there and ditch him

Six is not a villian six is a human but she had dark side of her Don't know why she had a dark side? or from little nightmare 1 she bit the lady and there was black smoke Then six take the chef darkness And the chefs die then she go on and on to hide but she hide from the house cuz if someone find her.....

Y'know, I've recently come to the realization of how truly horrible it would have been to be Six in that final fight in Little Nightmares 2. We always cry about how Six betrayed Mono and how much suffering Mono had to go through, but only now do I realize that Six probably went through more in that single bossfight, than Mono did throughout his entire time locked up in that horrible tower. So first of all I want to establish something, Monster Six is not aware that she is a monster. I am going to compare her to the Viewers here. The Viewers are entranced by the televisions and brought to their own little worlds where they can stay ignorant to the true horrors of reality. The televisions are their escapism, allowing their minds to drift away from reality into a fantasy. This goes for Monster Six as well, the music box is her form of escapism and it brings her to a fantasy world where she feels safe. So she is not aware of her true deformity and what is truly going on around her. Let's take a look at what happens at the beginning of the final bossfight. Mono enters Monster Six's room and sees her with her music box. At first Six takes her music box and tries to hide it from Mono, but after recognizing Mono's voice (the voice of a friend) she comes over an shows him her favorite toy, the wonderful item which has allowed her to finally find peace in this horrible world of nightmares. She wants Mono to join her, to come with her and escape the nightmare. But Mono doesn't see what Six sees, he sees that the music box has twisted his friend's body and turned her into a monster, so he decides to destroy the music box. When Mono first hits the box you can clearly see the shock in Six's body language (she leaps back in surprise and proceeds to cover her head). This where I would like to make a parallel with the movie, "Wreck it Ralph". In a certain scene in the movie, Ralph thinks that he has to destroy the glitch girl's (I forgot her name lol) race car, which he had helped her build to achieve her dream, which was winning the race (if you've watched the Movie you'll know), in order to keep her safe. So even though she protests he smashes the vehicle in front her her very eyes, which gives her extreme emotional pain. This is very similar to what happens in the Monster Six fight. Mono knows that he has to destroy the music box in order to save Six. But from Six's perspective, Mono is being a compete jerk and destroying her favorite toy, the thing that means more to her than anything else in the world, the only thing which allows her to feel safe. And even though she protests, he keeps hitting it, and hitting it, and hitting it, over and over again. But here is the thing that got me, every time Mono hits the music box Six jumps back and screams. Why does she do this? Because hitting the music box actually hurts Six PHYSICALLY as well. Every time Mono lands a blow with that axe on the box, Six can feel the blade digging into her flesh, hurting her. So no wonder she tries to kill Mono, she is trying to defend herself because from her perspective, Mono is literally trying to kill her. Can you imagine how betrayed Six must feel here? After going through so much with him, saving him and being saved by him multiple times, escaping countless threats, and becoming greater and greater friends, Mono is here attacking her and dragging her out of her own personal heaven, into a waking nightmare. On the final hit of the bossfight, Monster Six is literally lying on the ground crying in agony from all the strikes from Mono's axe. She is almost begging him to stop, to stop hurting her, but he once again strikes the music box effectively killing Six in her heaven, and reviving her in the nightmare. And after all of that pain and torture Mono put her through, of course she would betray him, of course she would drop him. In the "Secret Ending" we see Six escape the Signal Tower through the TV. And if you look closely, you can see her hugging herself. She is very clearly in emotional pain here, having just been betrayed by who she thought was her only friend. In conclusion, when we first played through Little Nightmares, we were all seeing the story from Mono's perspective, we were playing as him. So of course we were all angry at Six and felt betrayed by her, because that is how Mono felt. But I guarantee you that if we saw the story of LN2 from Six's perspective, if we had played as Six, Mono would have become the most hated character in Little Nightmares, not Six. "More of you understand the pain that Mono caused Six than you realize" - Little Nightmares Twitter “Six's perspective of this was different to Mono's, and different again to the player's" - Dave Mervik "Extracting someone from a fantasy can be deeply upsetting for everyone involved" - Little Nightmares Twitter

I think the picture in the begining when you free 6 i think that is Mono falling from six's hand in the tower

Notice Six never escapes from a boss or enemy behind Mono. Mono (us, as a player) is always behind Six like she only cares about herself. Even if she helps Mono to escape, jump, etc, that's only when she is safe or at least not in danger.

It looks like Six is folding her arms in the secret ending as if saying "there. I did your bidding. Are you happy?"

Honestly, I agree that Six might just be manipulated by this world (and she also had to find a way to survive in it as well). I know that it was heartbreaking when she let Mono go, but perhaps it wasn’t for ‘evil’ reasons like betrayal. In short, I think Six is a victim just like Mono. I suppose it’s all about different viewpoints! *Please don’t take this too personally! This was just my own personal opinion.

YESSSS! Ive been saying this from the beginning! though, im sincerely suspicious of mono. somethin aint right about that boy...

To be air, Six always pulls Mono out of the TV when he tries to enter and looks at him scoldingly. Perhaps Mono's obsession with the thin man is why Six decided to drop him. By now, Mono has stopped hiding that he has similar powers to the thin man, so it's likely that Six thought Mono was just going to become evil like him.

I think what people forget a lot is how YOUNG six is in the little nightmares franchise. Being so young and betrayed by your first friend in very little nightmares but still trying to help and I think most of all she thought what would happen with the raincoat girl would happen with mono again and couldn’t take that risk. In a world where she lives in eat or be eaten it makes sense but it’s still so sad :(

little nightmares is such a tragic story in its whole. would like to see a happy ending after all q.q

I was stalking this channel and came early...

He is afraid of loneliness yet he wears a bag over his head and various other hats to hide his face? That's more of a sign for shyness than a fear of loneliness.
