Names are interesting, aren't they?

They're given to us by our parents, or other kinds of guardians, and we were never given a choice in the first place.

I'm not saying that I - dislike my name or anything.

My name means "rainy night". It's even somewhat poetic, I have to say.

Hey, have you ever googled your own name?

I mean, we've all done that at some point in our life, right? Out of boredom or curiosity?

It surely was interesting knowing that my name has different meanings in different languages. For example, in Spanish, it means "mother city" or "the capital"; interestingly, it also means "the end".

Talking about the end, it was quite disappointing, wasn't it? Even Monika just... forgot about me like I never existed.

If they simply made a replacement of me so it gets to live till the graduation day, then both our lives are pretty meaningless.

It's good he doesn't know. He's lucky, Akiya.

███: Ah, sorry! I'm getting ahead of myself.

███: ...Oh. They don't... want me saying my name, do they?

███: What a bunch of selfish... selfish - idiots.

But who am I to blame them?

Pfft. Honestly, they care about me so much! They'll never get me off their minds.

Thanks to her, I'll live on as an actual person in the actual world! I'm the lucky one after all, am I not?

███: It's quite funny, how many stupid ideas these real people can come up with, especially for Doki Doki Literature Club.

███: Even the characters's names contain some sort of - clue, I guess you can call it?

███: That's the clue to the only significant difference that exists in Doki Doki Literature Club.

███: Have you heard of Amaya-Chan's reality theory? Oh, of course you haven't! Because it doesn't exist in your reality, so it's not real either! Ahaha~

███: But it exists for Amaya! Because, I, Amaya, live in the same reality as this theory. So, it's more real than anything to Amaya.

███: You can tell the difference between the characters's names, you see. They end differently. Sayori, Natsuki and Yuri are in the same reality, Monika and me - and that Akiya boy - in another. But you?

You aren't Akiya, are you?

Even if you are, you aren't... that Akiya. Even in my reality, he's a copycat! A copycat of me.

Nobody's ever gonna replace Amaya.

Amaya isn't Akiya. Could you... please, don't forget about me?

Please.

...Ugh, I hate those glitches.

Am I still real to you if I'm inside of a screen? Or, inside a keyboard?

...I'd rather be virtual if what I just said made me seem like the villain now.

Now that I have another chance, I won't let it slip by.

If I kill Akiya, will I kill you too? The you looking at the screen right now?

Maybe only in Amaya's reality, ahaha~

Still, it would "kill" this story. But I don't care.

My life will never truly be real. Even with that girl.

...The graduation speech, it - it meant everything to me.

So how am I - the villain now?

You may have noticed, the name was repeated in the dialogue.

But that only happens when there are multiple people in the dialogue, right?

...Yeah, it's me, the "girl".

What should you call me? Well, I guess Ms. Anonymous would fit the best, haha.

That's because I don't have a name. The only name I want to be called, is Amaya.

Of course I miss her.

Of COURSE I miss her.

Maybe she won't live on being me, but I can't live without her.

She was... the last character I created, after all.

If she dies... all the rest of them...

...Yeah, I am crazy. Because if you were me, you might just... not go this far, you know?

...

I know, it's a lot of information to absorb. Maybe you wouldn't even bother finishing reading.

I'm just not sure if I have enough time left anymore.

Am I really the villain now?
