I think we all know Reverie. Her incessant chatter, her innocence, and her horrible death. But how is she comparable to Jesus, who did so much more, and suffered in silence? Well, odd as it may seem, I do see parallels.

First of all, as odd as it may seem, her presence always makes people somewhat relaxed. Sometimes, it even changes people. While not on the scale of Jesus, I think we all can admit Reverie has some form of minor influence on everyone’s life. Just a minuscule one, but one that was able to bring about great change. I’ll talk about change a bit later.

Secondly, her innocence. I find it extremely touching that her innocence is one of the majors that makes her death all the more poigant and emotional. She wasn’t fully aware of the situation at hand, but in her heart, she fully wanted to believe people woiuld come back again. Even if she knew otherwise. Like Jesus, she was innocent She had led a full and healthy life, helping people where she could, all the way until the end.

Finally, her death. while the mass media may numb us, and desensitize us to violence and death, it is quite impossible to fully desensitize us to it. I have mentioned earlier that even The Passion Of The Christ never failed to send people to tears at the depiction of Jesus’ death. But what similarities can we pull out from Reverie’s death, in comparison to Jesus’ ?

1. She felt pain.
It is quite evident that Reverie’s death was rather violent, just like Jesus’ . While it is quite evident that robots feel no pain, pain comes in many forms. Jesus felt not just the physical, but also emotional pain, upon seeing himself shamed and maltreated by the people he came down to save. While Reverie never felt pain when half her body got blasted to bits, being unable to see your loved ones is one of the most painful things anyone, or anything could ever experience. Heck, even the cold-hearted /b/tards had an outpour of emotions, something that /b/tards have in short supply, when they heard Nurse-kun’s story. If that isn’t a powerful-enough example, I don’t know what is.

2 . She was innocent.
Like Jesus, she led a faultless, blameless life. And up till her moment of death, she had hoped, with all her heart, that people would come to the planetarium, even though she knew otherwise. Don’t prod me for the details. I don’t really wanna play it outside of the assigned date. But her innocence, which is one of the factors linking her to Jesus, is readily apparent here.

3. She changed someone’s life.
The question has been posed: What makes Jesus’ death so special, when compared to the deaths of many other great people, like Mother Teresa, or Gandhi? Again, I feel I will be posed this question, why Reverie, instead of others? What’s so special about her death? While I’ll leave the answer for the former to the Bible, I’ll personally anser the second and third question. It is quite true Reverie never died for humanity’s sins, when compared to Jesus, she had changed someone’s life, that is, the Junker’s.

>>2679540
Now we move on to the act itself.

I’ll take a cue from the Apostle John and skip the description of how Reverie got destroyed. The act itself isn’t all that horrifying (no thanks to the mass media), but what is more horrifying is that an innocent being has been killed by one of the most cruel means to die. This transcends even the Rape of Nanjing and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki put together. It is more cruel than all the war crimes put together. Heck, even the Holocaust is just a nightmare when compared to the crucifixion of Jesus. That was the day when even God averted his eyes in shame.

Whereas Reverie’s death isn’t that epic, I liken it to that, for she was the last twinkle of hope in that landscape of death. And by being snuffed out so suddenly and cruelly, it hearkens to the same shameful act all those years ago.

I do realize I am crazy for even trying to draw parallels between these two events, but I know, deep down, that planetarian is not just a decent visual novel. I feel that it’s trying to tell us something, but no one has ever bothered to try to decipher it. It is a shocking look at our world today, and a glimpse into the future we do not like to see. Ironic as it may seem, coming from a country where a siginificant part of the population is in the dark about the Divine. Or rather, being led to believe in the wrong kind of god. I still don’t know all of it myself, but I do know that if I don’t try, I’ll never forgive myself.

That’s one of my gifts to the world, and I hope no one rejects it. Even if I may be called crazy and be disbelieved, then again, most of the great prophets and scientists were termed crazies before they were given the recognition and praise they deserved.

I only do this in the service of the father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
