Fan Theory about... Ghost~
11 years ago
I'll be using colors rather than names since I am bad with names.
Let's start by breaking down the sequence of events:
The group visits a haunted cave to explore and look around, Blue heads down a lower path while Orange and Purple head on a higher one, both paths come to the same main chamber/pit, Orange is seemingly possessed by a green taint and pushes Purple to his death in front of Blue. The sets off a chain reaction in which Purple is resurrected as a ghost, Blue is both overcome with grief and apparently has her memories tied into the locket/heart, Orange is likewise hysteric and distraught at what he's done, and Red tears off Orange's arm to remove the taint.
The group reunites sometime later at a haunted house, the energy that stops the van is purple which means that it was the ghost of Purple drawing them there, the group explores the house and comes under attack from purple apparitions before they are dropped down a pitfall. As they fall they encounter three mirrors that reflect very important details, Blue has empty eyes, Orange is missing an arm but is otherwise unchanged, and Red's mirror cracks as not to show his 'true' form, upon landing Orange is greeted by a tall black coffin with glowing purple decorations. From the coffins steps out the ghost of Purple, the ghost seemingly exclaims that it was Orange he hated ["Fuck, it's you I hated the most."] which results in a terrified Orange fleeing for his life from the vengeful phantom, the group reunites in full during the chase sequence before Red stops to examine a painting which reflects the previous events. It is important to note the images around the painting which are of thorns/tangles and several images of a heart, the first being surrounded by swirling masses, the next being a heart that is 'tangled', and the final image being a broken heart.
Orange becomes cornered and an angered Purple rushes towards him before Blue steps in between them to shield Orange, Purple is visibly saddened by seeing Blue and extends the heart towards her, a seemingly 'not understanding' Blue attempts to hold the heart in her hands. Orange however pulls her away before she can and the heart drops to the ground, losing it's golden coloration and cracking, an enraged Purple unleashes his fury while Orange, Blue, and Red flee the mansion, hopping in their vehicle to drive away as the skeletonized spirit of Purple opens the heart to reveal an image of him and Blue, with a single tear he fades away.
Now, for the theories:
The Purple we see is his ghost consumed with hatred and revenge - He wants to kill Orange for killing him and his form reflects this, he is a skeleton much like death is usually represented, he is 'fueled' by Blue's memories of him which are trapped in the locket, this is why she doesn't remember him. It is only when his fury has been expelled that he opens the locket and remembers for himself, his spirit no longer consumed by vengeance returns to it's true form, he lets a single tear go as he remembers his love for Blue and finally departs, no longer holding the grudge.
He was bound by memories and with Blue not having those memories any further Purple has nothing left to stay for, there i nothing keeping him here any further, and as the song suggests he really does disappear.
Blue still loves Purple - Upon entering the house they are greeted by purple flames and spirits, Blue is visibly happy at the sight of these things while Red and Orange are different, Red seems cautious and Orange seems terrified, possibly because he remembers. This opening scene and in the flashback/locket are the only times she seems to smile in full, the van smiles are seemingly ones of just enjoying herself but she's legitimately overjoyed in the previously mentioned scenes, perhaps she remembered Purple?
Further, the lenses of her glasses are Purple, it is my theory that she only has eyes for purple, even now, she only loves him.
Orange replaced Purple after his death - Orange is seen driving the van, further, him and Blue smile at each other now, before when purple was around he seemed to keep his gaze on Purple and Blue until they smiled at each other, I don't know if this is him replacing Purple entirely but he has taken on those duties himself.
Though he hasn't made a move on Blue yet, whether it's because of his guilt or something else I don't know, but she most definitely doesn't seem to look at Orange with romantic interest or intent.
Further, I'll elaborate my feelings on different theories:
Orange was consumed by Jealousy - Plausible, we see in the animation that he turns his head away when Purple and Blue are smiling at each other, however when we see Orange's expression after pushing Purple there is no smile on his face, he is horrified at what he had done while the possessed half is gleeful.
I do not believe that Orange pushed him of his own accord, he was jealous of their relationship or had eyes on Blue himself, either way the possession played on those emotions to get in before killing Purple, it pushed him to do it, he did not plan on killing his friend.
Whether or not he knew what he was doing I sincerely doubt he did, his expression upon realizing what he had done is one of terror, not happiness that an obstacle is now removed.
Red wiped the memories of Orange and Blue - Plausible again but on rewatching the video several times to write this I have come to a different conclusion, if he did wipe any memories it was from Orange, Blue's memories were taken and trapped in the locket/heart when she witnessed Purple's death.
Further Orange is terrified and fearful of Purple, whether it's because he's a ghost with a skull head or because he recognizes Purple I don't know, there isn't much evidence on whether or not he's forgotten Purple, though it should be mentioned that his distraught eyes are very similar to the terrified eyes he has when Purple dons his hair.
Plus when it cuts back and forth between Orange and Purple before he gets eyes there seems to be looking of dawning horror on Oranges face, as if he's realizing just who this ghost is.
What do you guys think? Any theories or your own to share? Discussion? I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks.
