obligatory box art redraw but with patho2 designs (yes, including the ‘g’ in the logo)

bachelor is so stinky it's insane

given that p2 artemy often had many moments of making grim jokes or being rather emotional, my interpretation is that artemy in p3 being very terse and direct is actually just him attempting to be polite because it is glaringly obvious that daniil can only be offended/hurt like 5 more times without having a heart attack from stress or ending it all right in front of him.

very old merribelas but they should be here i think

after rereading the secret miracle:

the story is of a man condemned to death that in his jail cell dreams of a bargain with god to have one more year of life so he can finish his Theatre Play. and god freezes time at the moment of his execution so for a year he dreams it to the end in his head, and then dies

my reading that nothing that happens in p3 happens holds. it is (only) marble nest, just torturously extended over time. the presence of all 12 days implies dankovsky the dreamer contracted & died of the plague (in-text of the play) late and the inclusion of his plague-ridden patient zero doppelgänger haunting the capital sections helpfully implies how and when. though that might be as much part of the dream as the executor was in mb

Невестой она не стала, а травяной уж и подавно.

translation: She didn't become a bride, and certainly not a herbal one.

kissing your assistant is an important part of finding the cure for the plague
