Yeah, he was very specific about it. If he really was delusional, it wasn't just hearing voices you know shouldn't be there once in a while, it was so bad that he wouldn't be able to fit into normal society, affected his views of other people. And that's why Naoi was all, "I'm just glad it's over now and not later." When I first saw the shadows I thought it might be a trick to make the death look fake, but Katou very obviously was murdered for real, so now it comes off as a metaphor for the oblivion of the afterlife.

...look. We can't operate on the assumption that we're all already dead, or that none of us are going to stay dead, or that we can go back to an alternate timeline where nobody had to die in this game, or whatever. That's a theoretical question with serious strategic consequences way outside the scope of this conversation.

Besides. It's not like I don't know almost exactly how you feel.
