Chapter 3 - Dark Triptych

Fire Punch scorching at Eri. Goodnight Eri…and Larry. No more fish from the Fisherman, Mac has been turned off. Five summers on and it's still tragic. Still depressive. Like The Horizon's gaze. Like Some Rap Songs' play. The Outsider just glares. Into the dark he does. It gets darker. Like Earl's sophomore. Don't Like Shit, Don't Go Outside but he left the castle. Gormenghast and its 77th Earl, 'Mozart' was the 'Amadeus' for 'Wolfgang' but he still left. 

Why did 'Mozart' leave? Genius? Curse? Fate? Fated to leave with the Requiem incomplete, 'Mozart of Wolfgang' completed his Solace but never found it. Then came Some Rap Songs.It plays. It's short. Like a story. Like The Outsider. Like Feet of Clay. The Fourth Beast. The Goat. The Devil. Becoming the heart of Denji is equivalent to The Goat making a deal with 'Mozart'.

Black Philip: WHOLE WORLD for your GHOST, I can make you deluxe. Feet of clay but I can give you the hands of Klay. Thompson you can be, Thompson without the Fear and Loathing.

The Outsider latches onto those words. The Outsider wants to be feared for his appearance no more. The Outsider wants to be loathed by humanity no more. The Outsider wants to be beautiful to all. 'Mozart' wants to be deluxe. Denji wants "a normal life". He gets it. He becomes beautiful. He becomes deluxe. All three get their wishes. All's well that ends well, right?

Well, The Outsider's beauty is only as a piece of fiction. Mozart's Feet of Clay become deluxe but that is the last step before he becomes Sick! Denji gets his normal life but it turns out to be ultra-violent with a dizzyingly nauseating amount of tragedy. That's tragic. That's depressing. Like The Horizon. Like The Outsider.
