Another wonderful commission I had done by @master-leah-sakurai. This one is based on a sequence from Breaking the Cycle Chapter 25 where Mono has PTSD based nightmares and hallucinations causing him to see Six as monsters they faced in the past. Here’s the excerpt:

“His vision flickered for a second looking back at the corpse. Confusion filling his mind for a second seeing the corpse switch back and forth into a person and dog. Shaking his thoughts his mind revealed the “truth.” The dog’s corpse lay on the ground as he continued. He followed the Goon into the alley only now seeing the fragments of the North Wind as it huddled into a corner. He walked right in front of the North Wind who now cowered in front of Mono. He paused looking down his vision flickering again.

The North Wind to Six to the North Wind again. Anger filling his vision again. “Are you really trying to trick me again Wind?!

No more tricks! No more games! I’m ending this here and NOW.“ Six out of breath just sat there, ‘He thinks I’m the Wind?‘Her thoughts quickly interrupted as Mono held out his hand in a grasping motion. Six felt this once before.

Back before the reset, before Mono destroyed her music box, right when they were separated. Only this time it seemed Mono wanted everything as she didn’t feel anything leave her this time. Mono clutched her using his clawed hand before thrusting his arm into the wall.She struggled clawing at his hand trying to get him to let go. She struggled for air as he held her up against the wall. She could feel tears coming from her eyes as the pain started to dwindle. She could see her vision beginning to cloud. Her lungs beginning to give out.Mono held the North Wind against the wall. Rage still fueling as he pressed his claws into the brickwork binding the Wind. His vision flickered as the Wind transformed into many different Monsters. Predator. Parasite Six. Gasping for air. Fake Cadaver Six. The blood dripping down her arm seemed too realistic. Tower Man North Wind One Lady Band Six. The tears rolling down her face started moistening his hand. Goon Barber Eavesdropper Six. Wait… Monster Butcher Manager Six. Oh my God.In an instant Mono snapped out of it and let go.“

To world build a bit more the reason why Mono’s right arm is clawed like that is due to an incident where he absorbed the soul of a monster instead of a normal human being and paid the price for it.

This BEAUTIFUL piece of artwork was commissioned by masterleahsakurai. It’s a depiction from Chapter 11 of Breaking the Cycle. That scene where they’re so close to freedom, but they’re both so tired from the fight before. So in order to save Six, he lets go. It’s a nice reversal to the Tower scene at the end of Little Nightmares 2. Highly recommend you go to @master-leah-sakurai for more of their incredible work. You can go to their Instagram because I believe they’re on there more often.
