"Remember to smile" was the last thing said on the robocall that notified Maki of her husband's supposed death.

This sets up a number of possibilities:
1) Makoto appears to die (followed immediately by an END CHAPTER THREE card and a cliffhanger into next update)
2) Maki and Makoto find out that he's actually still alive.
3) Makoto gets some really bad news (example: finds out she's pregnant pre-reset, handwaves it off because it'll solve itself in the reset, only to find out she's still pregnant after the reset)
4) Someone else dies, or appears to

If this is truly a reset update, then this is also the end of Chapter 3, and if this is the end of Chapter 3, we'll be getting a cliffhanger into next update regardless.

Smiling also seems somewhat related to the Shapeshifter:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Ami:

HOPE/Yasu:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And User2/The Wire god:

Of course, considering the World's part in the whole Makoto Dad thing:

On top of the "remember to smile" in the phone call about her dad's death. It could be something else behind all of the smiles:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Still, whatever that event is referencing, is simply bound to be bad.. I'd be surprised if it's not. Smiling seems linked to tragedy in this game.

This makes me feel like there will be more events where you get no choice but to do what the GOD tells Akira to do and it will be not great.

Especially considering the choice of whether to connect with Pareidolia only had one answer: Yes. Otherwise the game turns off.

Personally, I don't trust Pareidolia much. The way it talks reminds me of what Tsuneyo said:

Hm.. in retrospect, if Pareidolia turns out to be this thing:

Imma have to flip out for a sec, then continue reading, I guess, lmao.

"Remember to smile" was also said by the voice on the loudspeaker in Amy (the last happy event in the backrooms mall where we meet a distorted version of Ami), and since that event is set in the Great Pareidolia Mall, which also has Himawari Co. as one of its stores, that's another hint that he is the one getting control of things soon.

Kinda ironic that the only icon we have of Pareidolia is a perfectly still minimal face which shows no expression, let alone a smile.

Pareidolia did seem to use User2's "face" at one point, but that was only temporary:

In other words: It's likely choosing it's current "face" and something tells me "it all comes down to perception":

I mean, if you pull up the Wikipedia entry for the word, you get this:

Sel's worst fear is that someone is fapping to his game, since he feels like his condemnation of the sexy stuff is what separates him from an actual pedo and if someone is fapping then he's part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Must be exhausting to live like that.

It was not an advice, it was just stating a fact. You HAVE to trust it. Either you trust it either you dusted.
