My, my, what an interesting sight...
Some Vocaloid series have Nightmare Fuel. This one is no different.Let's begin, shall we?
- Poor Henry. He didn't really have a good life. His mother, Frances, constantly pulled Please, Don't Leave Me on him and sometimes threatened to kill him among other things. Although he does get away from her and marries Nancy, Nancy takes note of how he cut Frances out of his life, then goes a little crazy... and as seen in the page image, he dies from a Slashed Throat.
- The intro songs for the cases are slightly offputting. This
is the Case One intro with a sound filter on it so it sounds like it's being played through an old radio, and this is the Case Two intro. - The first song, Rotary Dial, focuses on a woman named Frances Elsner, who is forced to raise her son Henry alone after the boy's father leaves her. Already emotionally unstable due to her un-diagnosed colorblindness making it hard to live alone, the lonely mother abuses her son emotionally by controlling his life and by reminding him that they will both die one day, and that she can't wait for it to happen. Henry is able to escape his mother with his childhood sweetheart, Nancy, who has Synesthesia. Once they marry, he's able to cut his mother out of his life.
- But it doesn't take long for Nancy to start becoming uncertain that Henry will stay with her, and she becomes increasingly paranoid that he'll leave her like he did his mother. This becomes a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in Black & White, where Nancy's behavior brings back memories of his mother and he prepares to leave her one night. At 2:00, you see a pair of arms wrap around Henry... and one of them is holding a knife. Then, the video just... distorts so you can barely see anything. According to the old summary, Nancy wakes up as he's leaving, and reaches for a knife...
- There's a Freeze-Frame Bonus at around 2:30 in the video as well. Amidst the multicolored static and dark red background, you can just barely see the darkened area around Henry's neck, with a line of blood trickling down the side of his chin. Lovely.
- In Housewife Radio, Nancy keeps going about her routine until she comes to her senses and realizes what she's done. It ends with her being Driven to Suicide, and the summary notes that police were called to the house after neighbors hadn't seen the couple in "a month or two", and according to the police they'd been dead for about a month and a half. In summer. It's even noted that the bodies aren't identifiable by sight.
