Dear Mariko

I too did not understand the true ending until you spelled it out.
Here are my thoughts:
My first impression of the true ending was that 'Mariko' (the playable character, I didn't realize that she was the stalker) killed the stalker, but since she turned crazy after the murder, I thought that she was going to go kill another 'Mariko' (like there was this whole chain of crazy stalkers leading up to the real Mariko o___o). But then I thought 'Mariko' killed herself with the two extra stabs at the end when she says "Goodnight, Mariko"
(also, for entertainment purposes, I thought I'd let you know that the 'bad smell' in Mariko's space was because of a dead body or something of the like.. xD)
I attained the true ending again after learning what it actually meant. Here are my comments/thoughts about things I found confusing:
-While the real stalker's offhand comments about the decor make more sense now, they kind of threw me off before.
-I think the door sound effects when Mariko comes in are fine - they aren't too excessive.
-I think that maybe in the dialogue when Mariko returns, the stalker should conjecture that it is 'her' trying to get in the house rather than 'that woman' because I think that leads to an easier interpretation of the playable character not being Mariko.
-It does seem strange that Mariko walks in the house with a knife on full display. Maybe a better way to do this would be to have her bring it out later? (additionally, I don't understand how Mariko knew somebody was in the house in the first place...maybe after reading the letter because wouldn't she see that it was opened?)
-Mariko's red text looks really threatening, but maybe I just need a lot of hints as to what's going on xD

Sorry for the long read.
And some of the interpretation could have been my fault as it was indicated that this is a quick play so I might not have paid as much attention as I should have xD
