Do you think Aava is depressed?
Iv completed both endings, and I get the overall vibe that she’s depressed, I’m not sure why exactly (I guess there’s not always a reason, but she is a successful alpinist, has a girlfriend, a home, etc) maybe she never felt she achieved enough or pushed herself far enough but reaching that goal would be impossible, because you’d end up dying (as we can assume in the summit ending). She wouldn’t be the only athlete who ends up dying pushing themselves too far to be the best.
I think in the summit ending, she maybe knew it’d be a one way trip..although there was no communication with her family, no note, she tried to with the radio but couldn’t find the words but it didn’t seem like a “goodbye” thing. So I’m not sure.
And in the home ending she seems pretty lost and miserable at the end. Despite being with family + friends.
If this is true I wonder what drives her depression and how Naomi doesn’t seem to notice. Or anyone, actually.
Maybe I’m looking too deep into the story here, it’s a climbing game, not a narrative one I suppose.
