Funny / Siren 1

• Butt-Monkey college student Yoriko Anno in Siren 1 serves intermittently as comic relief:
  • In the ending, Yoriko, having leveled up in badass after getting stuck in the other world, finally catches up with her beloved Professor Tamon. Tamon has finally found true happiness with the parents he lost, free at last after decades of suffering spent refusing to give in to the darkness and become Shibito... At which point Yoriko kicks through the wall and, seeing only desiccated corpses, not tortured lost souls and certainly not loving parents, clubs them with a baseball bat and drags the professor away.

    Yoriko: Professor! It's no time for playing happy families! Come on!

  • After collecting all the archive items, the game unlocks an alternate version of the scene where Tamon first catches a glimpse of Datatsushi just before the flood of red water bursts through the Nest... but from Yoriko's perspective. Turns out her odd appearance and distorted voice in the original cutscene were all in Tamon's mind, his perception warped by the red water. She can't see a thing without her glasses, but manages to make out the professor and runs toward him, waving and smiling... before the rickety floor gives way and she falls through a hole. Made all the funnier because it's the very last, decidedly unhorrifying cutscene of the game.
