Your old friends don't like you so much anymore because of the effect of the internet on your personality, and the MySpace residents hate you because you're young and annoying. Hackers notice you and you very nearly get LastMeasure'd (a blood wall chases you). Everyone's still insulting you all the time (death messages). If you aren't smart, you might wind up getting trapped by a pedophile.

* He has a power to change the world from happy to creepy at will. If you kill all monsters in 'Undertale', the game starts to become creepier ... and become happy again if you spare someone before finishing Genocide Route.
* More obviously, Zee Tee can come back from the death... like most game characters, yeah...
* Zee Tee isn't a monster - he kills with no justified reason and he doesn't turn to dust when he dies. So determination definetly can't melt him, meaning that he CAN indeed possess it. He also looks kind of like a flower...
* Also, this doesn't have anything to do with this theory and it's not even 100% true, but message of both games is 'You can turn into exactly what you were fighting against if you are power-hungry enough'.
* This also doesn't have anything to do with this theory, at least not directly, but as the second point said, Zee Tee looks a lot like flower. [[FoulFlower And who is the only known character besides Frisk and Chara who can fully use the power of determination..?]]

Two eldritch beings were board beings were bored, and decided to try out one of those human "save the princess" stories, so they built a set (X-2) and made it "real" with reality warping powers (X-1). Then they morphed themselves into their roles, one as a princess and one as a heroic resident of the world. The "princess" would then make challenges for the "hero." They screwed up in constructing the world as they planned to use the as platforms, forgetting that clouds are intangible in the real world, forcing Zee Tee to evert back to X-2 to use them. Nehema then decided to have fun with this, making challenges that required him to evert further and further. Something went wrong in X-4 (hence the different background and the enemies not moving), possibly due to another eldritch entity's interference, but they do their best to ignore it and play on. In the "bad end," Nehema reverts back to her true form, but Zee Tee was under the impression they were going to roleplay the ending. In the good end, they both turn back, happy at having a fun time together. In the secret end, they begin to revert back, but get stuck in the "glitch" that is X-4.

[[WMG: ''Eversion'''s ending symbolizes [[spoiler: pedophilia.]]]]
Think about it, Zee Tee is comparable to a child in who travels through what they think is a innocent, happy world. Though, as they go deeper they come across many dangers (for Zee Tee, the enemies, the thorns, etc; for the child, violence, criminals, etc) and by the end they find what they believe to be a trustworthy figure... [[spoiler: only to witness the ''horrible truth''.]]

[[WMG: Eversion layers are somehow connected to the Submachine layers.]]
There's 8 of them accessible (plus some that normally aren't) that connect at specific points through unexplained or minimally explained mechanisms, and there's a lot of mysterious ruin platforms going on. The overall layout between layers is extremely similar, but differences in the properties of those layers mean different things and events happen across different layers. Maybe Eversion takes place in a particularly decrepit section of submachine and is the society with untranslatable concepts (hence being cutesy-packaged eldritch abominations) mentioned in one of the theory papers?

Quick theory stuff.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Eversions are parallel universes, and Zee Tee is helping the Zee Tee equivalents of these other universes by everting.]].]]
Consider that there's three endings, each involving a specific form of Zee Tee. Bad Ending has Flower Zee Tee, native to either X-1 or X-9. Good Ending has Monster Zee Tee, native to X-7 or X-8. Secret ending has Statue Zee Tee, native to X-4.

So here's my theory - every of these universes has an unique Zee Tee, and an unique Nehema. Flower Zee Tee is aware of all the other Zee Tees and Nehemas, and, being the inherently good guy he is, decides to help out where he can, through the power of Eversion. So, when he's going around, he's shuffling his "selves", the alternate Zee Tees, along the different parallel universes, until he has helped each one get their respective Nehema. It also serves as training for the future, which is sorely needed if his involuntary eversion to a set layer at times of stress is anything to go by. Like with the box with eyes popping out, or the black wall. The bad ending sees Zee Tee stumbling upon Monster Nehema, who, as the ruler of X-8, reasons that the only reason anyone so cutesy would show up is subterfuge or treason, and figures from unheard-to-the-player incoherent explanations of Flower Zee Tee that Monster Zee Tee is somehow involved. Zee Tee is summarily executed, both Flower and Monster variants, and that's it, bad end. Good ending has the perspective shift midway through from X-1. showing Flower Zee Tee and Flower Nehema, on another of their chats, to Monster Zee Tee winning over Monster Nehema's trust and starting a meaningful relationship, with implication that all the other parallel universe couples also got together. The secret ending has Zee Tee mess up the shuffling, leaving two Zee Tees - Flower and Statue - in the same universe, grinding it to a halt until the paradox is sorted out. Which is never, since Zee Tee isn't immune to time stops.

You can hear what sounds like shoveling dirt in the background, and there are hands trying to drag you down to hell. The blocks no longer give up gems, suggesting death, but there isn't anything to suggest it's hell yet, while the music is less evil and more brooding. X-4 would represent someone on their deathbed, while X-6 would be closer to hell, with X-7 being hell itself. X-1 is childhood, X-3 is a dirty corporatised world, and X-2 is somewhere in the middle (mainly there to trick the player into thinking that there's no dark tone to the game). X-8 is darkness.

This theory came to be when I was rewatching [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Magica]] and noticed that the setting of Eversion is awfully similar to a witch's labyrinth and its [[BuffySpeak switchy-ness]]. So in my opinion, Zee is a familiar who's working for witch Nehema, and the main reason why you have infinite lives is because there's dozens of Zee Tee familiars around the place like how there were a ton of Anthonies in Gertrud's barrier. To spare you of the complicated theory that I originally planned to write, the gems scattered around are in fact humans and collecting them is the equivalent of killing them, the entire setting of the game is her (Nehema's) barrier, and the Ghuls are either other humans or magical girls.
* In the bad ending, if you didn't kill enough humans, Nehema will have to dispose you since you're not worthy anymore. That or you get killed by a magical girl.
* In the good ending, because you killed the right amount of humans, Zee becomes a witch himself, thus the life cycle of a familiar completes without a flaw.
* Last but not least, in the beige/secret ending, Nehema herself gets killed by a magical girl and all the Zee Tee familiars either die out or (in the post-Godoka verse) become a part of the Law of Cycles with Nehema as Madoka re-writes them out of reality.

So in my opinion, Zee is a familiar who's working for witch Nehema, and the Nehema. To expand on this theory of mine:
*The
main reason why you have Zee has infinite lives is because there's there are dozens of Zee Tee (or their formal name, [b]Z[/b]ara[b]T[/b]ustra, because hey, someone had to point it out) familiars wandering around the place like how there were a ton of Anthonies in Gertrud's barrier. To spare you of the complicated theory that I originally planned to write, the gems scattered around are in fact humans and collecting them is the equivalent of killing them, the entire setting of the game is her (Nehema's) barrier, and the barrier.
*The
Ghuls are either other humans or the Mahou Shoujo who wander into the barrier. When the barrier shifts, the magical girls.
* In
girls that visit it almost corresponds to its difficulty. For example, EX-1 Ghuls are beginner Mahou Shoujo, while EX-8 Ghuls are the bad ending, if you didn't kill enough humans, Nehema will have to dispose you since you're not worthy anymore. That or you get killed by a magical girl.
* In the good ending, because you killed the right amount of humans, Zee becomes a witch himself, thus the life cycle of
stronger ones that can destroy a familiar completes without like Zee with a flaw.
* Last but not least, in
swift.
*Princess/Witch Nehema's classification might be something to do with
the beige/secret ending, Nehema herself gets killed by a magical girl and all whole "not everything is what it seems to be" theme of the game. It might be either the "Eversion Witch", "Witch of Disguise", or "Shadow Witch".
*The Gems are the humans that
Zee Tee is meant to collect to the witch/kill. The more humans familiars either die out or (in kill, the post-Godoka verse) more likely it is for them to become a part of the Law of Cycles with Nehema as Madoka re-writes them out of reality.
very Witch they have detached themselves from. True Ending, much?

[[WMG: Zee Tee posseseses [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} determination]].]]
Hey, someone had to. In 'Undertale', determination is 'resolve to continue living and change fate'. Well, that sounds a lot like Zee Tee. THIS THEORY MIGHT INCLUDE SPOILERS TO BOTH UNDERTALE AND EVERSION!
* He has a power to change the world from happy to creepy at will. If you kill all monsters in 'Undertale', the game starts to become creepier ... and become happy again if you spare someone before finishing Genocide Route.
* More obviously, Zee Tee can come back from the death... like most game characters, yeah...
* Zee Tee isn't a monster - he kills with no justified reason and he doesn't turn to dust when he dies. So determination definetly can't melt him, meaning that he CAN indeed possess it. He also looks kind of like a flower...

A variant of the Hero is in Hell Theory. In the classic story of Orpheus, the singer Orpheus's love Eurydice dies, and upon the advice of the gods, he travels into the Greek Underworld and rescues Eurydice, [[SchmuckBait but if he looks back before going into the world of the living, she will stay in the Underworld forever. Guess what happens next]]. However, the story of Orpheus in Eversion is different: for some reason (presumably Nehema was horrible in life, or maybe something else, but that's a different story), instead of being kept in ordinary Hades (the domain of those who were neither a saint or evil), Eurydice (or in this case, Nehema) is being kept in Tartarus, the domain of the dammed souls. However, Zeetee does not know this, and assumes she is just somewhere in the afterlife. <More later>

Asphodel Fields. The River Styx is probably in Level 2, the after which one sees the X-4 (the Asphodel Fields proper, a purgatory of stagnation and pure neutrality). Levels X-5 through 8 are increasingly deep layers of Tartarus, and the souls of the damned slowly reveal themselves. Finally Zeetee reaches Nehema herself, who was transformed into a wicked demon of hatred as a result of her sins in life. In the good ending, while Zeetee cannot escape Tartarus itself, he resists the corruption and tempations of Tartarus, and dies free. In the bad ending, Tartarus has corrupted him so fully that he transformed into a demon himself.
