Tear Jerker / NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD

• The Reveal that P-Chan may have just been one of Ame’s many imaginary lovers is a unique case of Fridge Tearjerker: all of those happy moments she spent with P-Chan? All the trips out, the moments of vulnerability, the time spent together? Those were all fake, a delusion on Ame’s part to dull the pain of being all alone with no-one to truly love her (if she gets popular enough she will have a strong and loyal fanbase, but it’s all based on the carefully-crafted persona of KAngel and is usually parasocial at best). This means that the "Do You Love Me?" ending is actually her living through her delusions with nobody on the stream or tweeter ever noticing, and her "killing P-chan" in the "Needy Girl Overdose" ending is just her having a hysterical fit then breaking her computer.
  • Conversely, The Reveal has the effect of recasting some of the downer endings in a more optimistic light. The Cucked ending has Ame start a real relationship, albeit one that is implied to end badly in a separate ending, while in the Unhappy End World ending Ame not responding to P-Chan could be taken as a sign that Ame is abandoning all her unhealthy delusions, including her relationship with P-Chan.
• Almost all of the endings in this game were Downer Endings, Bittersweet Endings or Neutral Endings, making it clear that there's no fixing Ame for you. The only optimistic endings are the Save 0 Omega Ending and the "Happy End World" Golden Ending, where she fixes herself instead. It's a painfully realistic depiction of a young woman suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder, showing that people like her will never truly get out of their vicious cycle of problems unless they put full commitment into setting themselves on the correct track.
• If Ame's affection and mental darkness are high enough by day 15, she will tell you a part of her past, and it isn't a pretty sight. She was born poor and her mother planned on selling her to prostitution and she had to go from friends house to friends house. Both of her parents were also on foul odds with each other and would constantly fight to the death, even over Ame's custody rights when they were divorced. On top of that, she was bullied in elementary a lot. There is no wonder why she dropped out of school and became the mentally ill young woman she is now.
• The "There Are No Angels" endings in which Ame livestreams her suicide while the chat is panicking, trying to talk her down.
• As of a new content update, if Ame feels stressed out enough at 1 million followers, she will now turn her milestone stream into a breakdown stream followed by a suicide stream. After her breakdown against her fans and the internet and her boasting that she will end them all, all she does is to show the wrist cutting wounds she did on herself, then lethally slit her throat with the cutter she uses to cut her wrists. It's especially sad when you consider people are likely to treat her as a meme to be joked upon for years to come after the suicide.
• On top of being Nightmare Fuel, there is the INTERNET OVERDOSE breakdown sequence. If you bring Ame's stress level at Day 25 high enough, she will start breaking down over a few hateful comments, then puking on stream twice and out of stream, causing her public image to shatter. Comments left on imageboards or social media afterwards are inflammatory or derogatory comments about her puking, and a bit later on, people doxxing her. She then overdoses and goes into an exceedingly insane Sanity Slippage, with the whole screen distorting (the implication being you are playing on Ame's view) and she starts streaming with Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises, her dialogue indicating that whatever little sanity of her was lost and she's not even trying to hide it anymore. Noticeably, the audience is horrified of this, and even P-Chan goes insane alongside her. This eventually caps off with a stream (implied to be a hallucination) where her "KAngel" persona has "killed Ame".
  • It's actually incredibly sad as it's scary because this is Truth in Television. In Japan, because of the conformist culture they have there, if you are a famous influencer and anything goes amiss on you, no matter how fleeting, your career might burn into the ground and never wake up again, meaning Ame vomiting on screen and breaking down in front of her audience, as a famous influencer will elicit these types of harassment. Furthermore, it's not uncommon for people to gradually lose their minds like this entirely unchecked, and when they get Driven to Suicide or worse it's too late.
  • Also, despite comments from the in-game Internet hate machine might insist, Ame was for real at that time. They are effectively targeting and doxxing a mentally unstable girl who was already under the process of a heavy breakdown. It was so bad, that at the "Diagram of the Body" stream (where she talks about some absolutely insane things casually while her room becomes a mess and was splattered with blood), even KAngel's detractors start feeling sorry for her.
  • If you pay close attention to the screen after the poem ends but before Ame starts spewing incoherent ramblings on her JINE, you can faintly see the words "HELP ME".
  • Whatever happened to Ame after this ending is left ambiguous in the game itself, but the official anthology reveals that she was sent to jail. Not getting her personality subsumed by "KAngel", not hallucinating to death, outright swatted and incarcerated. Despite she regains the ability to speak or act coherently, given how she looks absolutely worn out through the whole thing and how she's locked there alone and cut out from the internet in what's essentially a nightmare scenario for people like her, she would likely come out scarred for life assuming it's not a lifetime sentence.
  • It hits even harder if you realize that "P-Chan" is just Ame talking to herself. While it twists the meanings of other seemingly better endings into more cynical ones, it manages to make this ending a lot worse, because it means the whole sequence is actually a broken girl losing her mind and crying silent pleas for help alone, but nobody is there to pull her out from her spiral.
• The third chapter of KAngel! Needy Girl Overdose Anthology mostly consists of Ame going back home on a rainy day recollecting her Dark and Troubled Past and her past streams and just being sullen in general, then undergoing a meltdown breaking one of her computers, "berating" what's suggested to be "P-Chan" for making a fool out of her and just trashing her room before eventually calming down and viewing her past streams on bed. The whole thing is depressing, but what really takes the cake is everything is shown in detail instead of only through words or implications. There's seemingly only one person (Ame herself) in her house but there are two computers, and near the end we also see sex toys that she presumably uses when "having sex". All-but-outright confirming that P-Chan is actually represented by the computer she just broke and she only goes back and forth from each PC to make it look like there are two people.
