Not gonna lie; I thought of clan a lot as we went through this.
But as much as the game directly tackles the "being dead inside is good because being alive just makes it hurt more when the other shoe inevitably drops" mindset head-on (chipping away at it is pretty much your player character's entire personal arc), the game does so with an ultimately positive and hopeful message. It's the "I want it to hurt" speech from NITW. Sometimes dreams are worth it. Sometimes happiness--true happiness--is out there, even if you have to fight for it.
