Using the scar from the scissors is a great way to prove identity. It is an incredibly specific childhood detail that no one else would know or think to lie about. It bypasses a lot of 'I swear it's me' dialogue and cuts straight to the hug. It is a very smart narrative shortcut that feels earned.
The PV tag “zero entry barrier, no top-ups, pure healing VR experience” is a textbook example of deceptive marketing. But unlike many games that scam you, the “healing” here comes after the catharsis. You suffer, you cry, you break down, and then maybe you feel something akin to closure. That’s a deeper kind of healing than a relaxing stroll. It’s the emotional equivalent of a good cry. The game earned that tag by the end even if it tricked you at first.
The system's desperation is a recurring comedy beat that I love. "Can you just pay attention to me!" It's so whiny and pathetic. For a being that can supposedly "annihilate" someone, it has no control over Xing Shi at all. The power dynamic is completely reversed from what the system intended, and it's incredibly satisfying to read.
