Honestly I think this is one of the more touching, if not even romantic routes. The Skeptic trusts that the Prisoner knows something, has some kind of plan, and that belief and trust allows the Prisoner to survive her "escape," which works out because she in turn trusts you to bring her outside. It's the path defined by skepticism of everyone and everything you see, and yet a mutual trust is what frees them both.

@@Logan-nk4vg It's all about trust. The prisoner is meant to be the opposite of the damsel who signifies blind devotion and defying rules to follow your own. The prisoner is slow to trust and plays with the rules in mind, in her chapter 1, she figured out that something was making us kill her and we were resisting it. That's why she didn't tell us anything and let her action create a presupposition. She wanted the knife to escape, we let her, and that made the skeptic want to take her with us since it was something the narrator (who forced us to attack the princess in chapter 1) would not want us to do since he's hiding something. The princess was gambling on blind trust that we will take her head with us. And because we kept suspecting the head was still alive, the princess came back to life because our thoughts shape the princess, hence why the prisoner dies when we leave her behind.

@@one-wingedangel5107 well, this is true, and I understand where you’re coming from. But if she is betting on us being able to move against the force that she saw the first time by using she uses a double blind, then she cannot be angry with us when that bet that SHE made does not work. And that her instant, aggression and hatred is unjustified and shows this once clever and intelligent individual to now be completely ruled by emotions that aren’t even properly placed. Especially since many of the paths to the ending that I am referencing, are attempts to help her. In conclusion she made a bet lost, then lashed out on her only ally.

@@Logan-nk4vg Well The Grey is the shared third chapter of The Damsel and The Prisoner. The Grey is the result when The Princess encounters a subversion, either she got betrayed despite the endless amount of love and admiration she poured, or her trust for another was not rewarded and you listened to the narrator despite prevalent skepticism. The Grey is basically the outcome when you listen to the narrator even though you've invested yourself in saving the Princess, The princess could not bear to be alone because she's also invested herself in you by displaying blind devotion or blind faith, and you betrayed that investment at the last minute either stabbing her or leaving her behind.

They looked away for when she cut it off, but if you don't you see her get about 1/3 1/2 way through then the weight unbalances and it tears through the rest. I'm not sure about the specifics. But this is indeed a very good game, and I suggest you watch a playthrough rather than disjointed clips. The full experience is very good in my opinion, and its very well done.
