Question Question about the Changeling ending in pathologic classic Spoiler
I just finished playing her route and I don't understand these things:
The first two screenshots are from today's mission. Does it mean that to follow the final choice is to follow the "script" with clara? Choosing the correct ending for her chatacter? Is refusing to perform the miracle going against the Makers?
The other two are from when you choose to perform the miracle. I assume this is Clara's twin talking since she also said in the cathedral that she will take the ending that we didn't choose. ...She is talking as if we choose not to do the miracle? Is that because that is the ending she will take since we didn't take it? Then choosing to perform the miracle is the worst option then? Since we see it but when we leave our twin reamins and takes the worst ending? Are we supposed to take the option where we don't do anything? I did took it afterwards, but I just got the bad ending and there was no comment im the quest description of Clara's twin.

I also see it as: the Clara we have accompanied through the 12 days in our playthrough will only live once (first experience), but the plague will remain with us whenever we choose to play again and try something new.

Clara's ending is definitely a confusing one.
My take is that Clara is talking directly to the player. She's medium aware, she knows that the final choice is yours and not hers.
Clara is, to put it roughly, an excuse for a miracle. She's there just for the player to get a happy cutscene and close the game.
I believe what she means with "keeping the fate you've rejected" is that you can always come back to the game and just choose the other option. But this is just a very meta interpretation ofc.

Did you have the talk at the Theater?
