Just a tiny thing I want to add.
Six's hunger is a result of missing a piece of her 'soul' and isn't satiated until she gets another one, the lady's soul. Forget to say that specifically. Also if this cycle is to be true, then we can come to the conclusion that this is in fact the 6th time that this cycle has happened hence there only being 5 lady's in the picture. Six being the sixth one, on her way to eat the current one.

You know what breaks my heart most? Even as the Tall Man, Mono doesn't want to harm Six. Despite what she did to him, he doesn't try to get revenge. He keeps her in a room, full of toys, and her music box. Even after she betrayed him, he still just wanted to be her friend.

[zzzzz]

Mono: *Breaks music box to save Six*
Six: “And I took that personally”

[mrmentality]

Not gonna lie, I cried when six let mono fall. The poor guy risked everything for her and in return, he's damned to become the thin man and watch as his younger self stops him from breaking the cycle.

[cyberwolfy]

you know what's interesting. even as the tall man, I think Mono still love Six, that's why he didn't just kill her or torture her as revenge. he put her in a room, and not like a torture chamber or isolation chamber, the room is filled with toys and her favorite music box. he didn't exploit her, he didn't punish her, I dare say she was even happy within that room until Mono come to break the spell.

When Thin Man captured Six, a fragment of her soul was removed, becoming Dark Six. When Did was reverted from her monster form, she still didn’t have a soul, her hunger is her body’s attempt to fix it. Dark Six is actually the good half of her. Haunting herself when she does terrible things

[SuperWiiBros]

I really hope the story finally has a happy ending finishing the nightmare

[perdasche]

So, what you’re saying is, every time I got caught by the Thin Man, I got the good ending?

[junilkwon]

Yeah when Six came back to her original self after Mono destroyed her music box, we could see she was pissed. You can just feel it. Her getting up slowly and just staring down at Mono rather than running up to him and greeting him. To Six, that exact time when Mono whacked her music box for the first time, she knew he was an enemy.

The title “Little Nightmares” had never made more sense. We shouldn’t be afraid of the “monsters” in the game, because we play as the scariest ones.

Little nightmares 3
"Breaking the cycle"
That's what we need

[pheo]

Another little tidbit, the fear of being alone is called monophobia. Rather than ending Six’s life once Mono became the thin man, he kept her in a room of toys and her own music box.

[semideadnat]

I think that for Six it wasn't just the music box that triggered her to drop Mono. She went to the music box after being taken by the Thin Man for comfort as she was so scared of the events and the song always calms her. Sharing the music box with Mono, a dear friend of hers who she trusts. So, when Mono breaks her music box, she panics and has a break down because that moment, her own friend destroys the thing that comforted her from such a traumatizing event. She can't be reasoned with because she is still so frightened by the events she acts out of anger. But once she is freed, she saves Mono, feeling guilty for her actions as in her mind he was her best friend who was trying to help. So, when she catches him, she sees something familiar about Mono and then it hits her, Mono is the Thin Man and his face being ever so alike to his causes Six to instinctively let go of his hand to get away from him. She's only 9 when she was taken by a man from the T.V and so to be around someone like that would overwhelm any child.

Maybe, she is named "six" because she is the sixth lady of the maw. In the portrait (16:33), there are only five ladies which concludes that the next one is the sixth after the time loop began.

[turtletoe]

The saddest part is that even the "monsters" are in fact the victims of this story

[sugafnlw]

Fun fact: monophobia is the phobia of being alone, and at the end Mono sits there alone

[eeveeandme]

One thing about Six being the Lady... anyone else get the impression that these two are a little *too* different? Look at the Lady: dark and monstrous, yes, but her demeanour seems far calmer. Also, consider her immense vanity - she cares a little too much about her looks, having a lot of mannequins for various outfits, she sobs at looking at her twisted reflection, etc. Also linking back to the calm demeanour, the Lady also seems to show a strong maternal instinct, as seen as she caresses the doll in The Residence as well as her humming, suggesting she once had a relationship with someone else (could she have once been a mother?) Not once do we see any of these traits in Six. Think about it: throughout both games we see that Six is a survivor; she's scrappy, untrusting of others, even feral at times, and after leaving the Signal Tower, she appears callous and leaves Mono behind like nothing ever happens. In LN1 (which has been confirmed to be a sequel to LN2) she shows no concern for any of the other children; Six is out for herself. Plus, she comes across a music box in the prison on the Maw and doesn't seem to care about it at all; there's a small theory about Six moving away from her comfort zone surrounding the music box when Mono destroys it. She doesn't care about her appearance either. Yes we see her don the yellow raincoat, but it's to keep her safe from the cold, it isn't a fashion choice. So where would such a drastic change in character from a wild little survivor girl who doesn't need anyone to a vain motherly woman come from? And on top of that, after killing the Lady, Six immediately leaves the Maw. Does it seem like she'd ever have a reason to come back? She certainly doesn't seem like the settling down type. I know she's a child but even the idea that she grows up to become so radically different seems like a bit of a stretch to me, and I don't see how, after living in this cruel world for her whole life, that Six would ever grow out of those instincts that kept her alive for so long.
But hey, that's just my opinion - feel free to disagree with me, all opinions are welcome, it's interesting to see people's viewpoints on this grim ambiguous world Tarsier has created

"Who is the protagonist?"
"Mono and Six"
"Then, who is the antagonist?"
"Mono and Six"
"Ok then...Wait WHa-"

Edit:Thanks for the likes guys

[dope]

this could all be avoided if literally anyone in this universe knew how to talk to eachother

[kath]

I got chills watching it.. the most heartbreaking thing for me is to watch them form a friendship and have it ultimately ruined. And as you pointed out, when you watch Six closely you can see in her gestures how she slowly warms up to Mono. Even before releasing the Thin man, she is clearly terrified to death and she wants to run away from the TV, but she waits for Mono with her arm outstretched, beckoning him to start running as well. Idk it just makes me really sad that they had to end up like this.. but this was an amazing video, as always, thank you!
