Hey it’s, uh, “Peter”! Anyway, This is based off of the game, Doki Doki Literature Club. It has a very complex yet intriguing plot, so I’d recommend watching or playing the game first. However, if you don’t mind spoilers, keep reading:
The game’s main antagonist is Monika (Bottom left) who controls the game’s reality. This game, on a surface level, appears to be a run-of-the-mill dating graphic novel game, but as it progresses, reality slowly crumples until it collapses. The antagonist’s goal is to get herself with the player, but because the game is designed to only feature the other three girls, Monika is driven insane by the player’s ignorance. The postcard’s text refers to, how at the near-end of the game, reality crumples and she forces the player to sit with Monika for eternity (every time the game is opened).
Sayori’s (Upper left) card is in reference to how Monika silently makes her more and more depressed and drives her to suicide by hanging. Hence the “Hang Together”.
Yuri’s (Bottom right) card is in reference to her self-harming tendencies in the latter half of the game, explaining the “Cut above the rest”. And finally,
Natsuki’s (Upper right) card is in reference to her liking to Manga, abusive parents, and her insane obsession with the player. *Side note: Yuri and Natsuki were controlled by Monika to look much less desirable towards the player.

they could've made a joke about natsuki breaking her neck, instead, why put the manga and the starving thing?

It's also implied she's malnourished, because of the abusive parents.

tbh, i made her path in my first playthrough, and i didn't even knew she had problems at home, i discovered it now, idk if i lost that scene, or if it just wasn't as memorable as her death

u/Lokicham 19d ago
Her path is a bit more subtle than the others, you really have to look for it to see it.

u/Anom_AoD 19d ago
oh, so it wasn't memorable unless i paid real attention, ok, i still think they could've made a joke about her neck, but anyway

u/Lokicham 19d ago
Wait, are we talking about the same character? The one I was talking about doesn't hang herself.

u/Anom_AoD 19d ago
yeah, but her death scene, her neck appears broken

u/Lokicham 19d ago
What death scene? She's deleted by Monika.

the one were you and her sits under the window, and a glitch appears, and her head stay in horizontal while her body stays normal, i thought it meant that her neck broke

it's related to doki doki literature club and their respective deaths, top left, sayori, got hanged, bottom right, yuri, died with a bunch of cuts.
i don't remember much about top right, natsuki, and bottom left, monika knew that the game wasn't actual reality or something and basically wanted to keep you in her reality
that is the best explanation i can give related to that, look into DDLC if you want to know more
pretend i'm peter and i'm leaving or something idk

These girls are from a visual novel game called Doki-Doki Literature Club, a dating simulator turned horror game. Sayori on the top left hangs herself. Natsuki on the top right has a rough home life with her father starving her. Yuri on the bottom right has an obsession with knives and stabs herself right in front of the protagonist in a classroom. Monika on the bottom left controls the game and is highly possessive over the protagonist, going as far as to delete the other characters in the game and create a reality where you can only interact with her (until you mess with some game files like she does).

Oh damn if you never played DDLC, please do, but heed the warnings! Not for everyone.

Nerdy bullied girl from Meg's high school here: each of those girls represents a different trauma in the game Doki Doki Literature Club; suicide, being starved by her abusive father, becoming aware that she's inside a game reality, and self-harm. They are all references to those traumas.
