the Floor of Psychology As and Roland (drew this before bed)
partially a sneakpeek for the other patron librarian outfits for the As?? they might have some changes tho cant say for sure (different X design time)
also dont question why they are the floor of psychology and not architecture, i'll do more stuff of this universes lore sometime later (credits to my amazing friend for coming up with the idea for the floors name :D )
might do relationship charts between the A5 and the rest of the library later on. and one last mention there will be original abnormalities for this universe. like for their floor me and my friend are slowly trying to write original abnos for these fuckers (maybe illustrate them too??)

Ayin builds a literal ego prison for himself and others and becomes the torturer and executor of dozens of people both to achieve a final goal that requires to sacrifice them and also himself. Too much has been lost, too many people have been hurt already. It can not be all in vain. The plan has to reach it's end.
He, and those he hurt, must be sacrificed for the greater good.
And all this plan involves Angela's creation. And ends with Angela's rebellion, the one person who didn't mattered enough to be manipulated into accepting this heroic suicide.
Angela creates a new literal ego prison. She once again becomes torturer and executor, kills the same amount of people if not more and, once she realizes Roland is in the way and also the final piece that will complete her plan...will she kill him too? Enough has been done. She already has destroyed so many lives. So many families have lost their brothers and sisters and sons and lovers because of her. So many human connections have been torn apart, just because of her wish of freedom.
So will she continue? Will it be worth it?
And she decides that the answer is no. She can stop. And she should stop. She decides she will stop. She recognizes that there is no amount of additional new suffering that can make her crimes worth it.
And so, she will make amends. By heroic suicide. By becoming the last piece of light that will save humanity.
But if Roland's suffering, his death, was not going to redeem her crimes, he decides that her death isn't going to either. Enough is enough.
She was forced to die, but now she is forced to live. Because there is no point in accepting the death Ayin chose for her.
Library of Ruina is a big fuck you to Ayin. To his actions and his morals.
Lobotomy Corporation is designed to make us embody Ayin. We want the same as him. We become as desensitized as him. The whole game starts with us being X, in the text and in a meta narrative sense. We don't know what's going on, we care for our little employees, we want them to survive, and we don't have a real goal. By the end, employees are resources, sacrifices towards a big final goal. We've endured to much, and sacrificed too much. Even if it's just our time. Even if it's our favourite employee. Even if it's just the effort to learn and repeat. The player who finishes Lobotomy Corporation is emotionally attuned with Ayin.
And as Ayin, we view Angela as an antagonistic figure by the end, one who decides to betray our noble effort right in the end. She became irrelevant through the repetitions. And she dared to waste all of our hours of painful gameplay, all the effort it took to finish a game like Lobotomy Corporation.
All rendered meaningless, because of her.
So we ourselves begin a new journey. Painful, hard, nothing new. We have a new goal now. And this time it has to work.
But then the ending hits.
And it was never worth it.
And it was never okay.
Pain will never be justified through more pain. And suicide is not heroic.
