...Yes.

[she sighs heavily, because that's a rough memory in a lot of ways, but the lore isn't as much.]

Mother Goose saw them, and whatever he saw, it really scared him. But I haven't seen them. Maybe - maybe some of them are nice, and do care about us. [she isn't really convinced by this. but monika's author is probably nice. he probably didn't do anything like delete her so he could go play sayori's route.] But it's - I mean, it's more complicated. We know people who want to kill them, but that's definitely not going to solve our problems. That will definitely make our problems worse.

Our hope is just that we can get enough control over the ink that we can write different endings than the ones they picked out for us, and maybe we can make it so they can't interfere with us anymore.

I think it's really, really cool that you tried to find a way to write an ending for yourself, Monika. In our world, you'd be like...the most powerful witch ever, maybe even almost as powerful as the Baba Yaga. I hope that doesn't come across as mean. The witches I've met have all been pretty cool.
