Congratulations on finishing the game, though I am a little confused. Why don't we see the direct aftermath of the story? Violet is either shot on the roof or in the elevator then it just jumps forward a few months or years?
There is an answer: rewrites.
Originally there was going to be a "fake-out" bit, a-la 6th installment of a certain Japanese game made by Sega about a man in a white-gray suit before, going into the endings, but the original draft sucked.
Then I pivoted to having a scene of "chosen girl(s)" rushes to the hospital and has a heartfelt speech with MC in a coma, but it was depressing as fuck and very ripetitive.
In the end I decided to have the aftermath of the tower assault just be mentioned in passing in certain endings and have it shown in Arisu's ending... until that too turned out depressing as fuck and I changed it to what it is now.
I'm aware that the end result can be a bit jarring, but it's the best I could do after writing myself into a corner with that bullet.
I would say most people in the world have never heard of him. Me included.
I went into that ending being full aware that 99% of people would not get all the references in it, from the the wrestling memes, to the announcers, to the commercial playing on TV. Honestly, it's all there just to get a crack out of my friends and the select few who can get hyped just by reading the phrase "FINISH! THE! STORY!".
