What Does the Paper Rabbit Represent?

As Dong Zhen advanced, Johnny's memories shifted from old age to middle age.

Johnny stood by Liva's window, and at this time Liva was already gravely ill, with that platypus doll beside the bed.

At the same time, the floor was covered in paper rabbits.

'Just enough, even after paying the surgery fees, the remaining money will be just enough... so, don't worry.' Johnny said to Liva.

But Liva just looked at Johnny: 'A white lie... you think this is a white lie, don't you?'

'No, I'm sure we just barely...' Johnny tried to explain, but was cut off.

'Don't say anymore... I don't like it when you lie.'

'I've calculated our assets, I know the actual situation.'

'Why do you want to convince me to go against my own wishes?'

Liva looked very sad.

And Johnny seemed somewhat agitated: 'We need that money to pay for your medical bills, Liva!'

'I understand Anya is very important to you, but this... this is too much!'

'I mean, she's not even...'

Liva interrupted again: 'Do you know what can make me happy?'

As Liva and Johnny talked, Dong Zhen and the livestream spectators finally understood what Anya actually was.

In the earlier memory fragments, from Johnny's words, they knew Anya was something very important to Liva.

But what exactly it was, they had no idea.

At first Dong Zhen guessed it was the platypus doll, but now he had a new guess.

That thing named Anya was neither a platypus nor a person, but might be that lighthouse on the cliff.

And Liva might have been curable originally, but insisted that Johnny use the money for her treatment to build a house and watch the lighthouse, saying that would make her happy.

'What the hell? Don't you want to live?! A house to watch the lighthouse is more important than life itself!?'

Dong Zhen felt his head full of questions.

There were too many questions in his mind.

And at this moment in the game, Liva handed a paper rabbit to Johnny.

It was that blue-and-yellow, two-colored paper rabbit.

'What is this?' Liva looked at Johnny, asking with hope.

Johnny was a bit surprised, but still answered: 'It's a rabbit, just like the ones you made before.'

'And then?' Liva pressed on.

'And then... uh...' Johnny was at a loss: 'Well, it's made of paper.'

'And?'

'Its body is yellow, and the rest is blue.'

'Good, and?'

Liva seemed very eager.

But Johnny had no idea what Liva was trying to say, so he changed the subject, saying he had written a song and wanted to play it for her.

That song was the earlier one, "For Liva."

At this, Liva smiled and teased him, saying the name was really cheesy.

The memory moved further back in time, and now Johnny was worrying.

Because he faced a difficult choice: whether to treat Liva, or to continue building Liva's wish—a house by the lighthouse.

In the game, Johnny was agonizing over the decision, but Dong Zhen and all the livestream spectators, along with Neil and Eva in the game, knew that in the end Johnny followed Liva's wishes and made his choice.

But why!?

From Johnny's conversations with his friends Isabelle and Nicholas, they got a lot of key information.

That Anya, just as Dong Zhen had thought, was that lighthouse on the cliff.

And that lighthouse was also where Liva and Johnny got married.

But it was completely baffling!

Why was Liva so fixated on that lighthouse?

And from their conversations, they also got another key piece of information.

That Liva might have some kind of illness, and the paper rabbits seemed to be one of the symptoms.

But why was Liva so obsessed with that lighthouse?

And what did these paper rabbits mean?

'This damn, I really can't figure it out!' Dong Zhen's face was full of confusion.

Meanwhile, the live chat was scrolling nonstop.

'His monkey brain can't handle it anymore.'

'CPU overloaded!'

'But seriously, what does that paper rabbit actually mean?'

'I feel like there's something seriously wrong with this game.'

'Hurry up, boss, push the story forward!'

'+1, I need to know what happens next!'

Clearly, the spectators in the live room were just as curious about the game's later plot.

They also wanted to see how the game would ultimately answer all these questions.

As the time-memory sequences pushed forward, Johnny and Liva grew younger and younger.

At one point, they shared a romantic embrace beneath the lighthouse named Anya, full of hope for the future.

But the one thing that remained baffling was that Liva kept folding paper rabbits, and she would hold up that blue-and-yellow one in front of Johnny, asking, "What is this?"

Recalling that even when Liva was gravely ill, she was still pressing Johnny with that same question.

That only made it more confusing.

"So, what the hell does that rabbit mean?!"

"This damn thing is driving me crazy!"

Dong Zhen scratched his head and tugged at his ears, utterly tormented by his own curiosity.

And then there was the question of what illness Liva actually had.

Countless doubts swirled around in his head.

Next, his conversation with Nicholas and Isabelle gave him more information about Liva.

It turned out that Isabelle and Liva suffered from the same disease.

And it was this disease that made Liva's speech seem so strange, even chaotic, making it hard to understand what she was trying to say.

"So Liva has a condition that prevents her from clearly expressing herself, along with social communication difficulties?"

Seeing this, Dong Zhen made a guess in his mind.

With that reason, all of Liva's earlier strange behavior could finally be explained.

Why Liva kept asking Johnny about the rabbit, why she made Johnny throw the sandbag toward Anya, and why she risked her life standing at the edge of the cliff.

All of it made sense now.

Because Liva, suffering from a mental illness, couldn't clearly articulate her thoughts and could only use hints to express her inner needs.

But understanding that brought new questions.

What did the rabbit actually represent? And why was Liva so obsessed with the lighthouse named Anya, even willing to give up her life for it?

Was it just because that lighthouse was where she and Johnny got married?

That didn't add up either!
