I recently had a very strange experience with the Red Bag Lady in Nier Replicant. I was exploring the village near my home, looking for a way to complete a quest. I suddenly saw a figure heavily shrouded by a red cloak. I couldn’t make out any features of his face, but he had a slight but unmistakable air of mystery about him.
As I got closer to him, he started speaking to me in an enchanting voice. He said he had something very important that he wanted to show me; he had a red bag in his hands, and he said it was full of secrets that I should know about. At this point, I was intrigued and wanted to see what the bag held. He asked me if I still wanted to see what’s inside, and I said yes.
Little did I know, it was all a lie. When I opened it, all I found was an empty bag. I felt cheated, like I had been tricked by the Red Bag Lady. I was so angry, I could have hit him! But I stopped myself, because I knew that would just be further into his game.
Despite my disappointment, I still wanted to know what he was about. He chuckled and said that he was a master of deception and knew how to confuse people, but that in the end, he was just a messenger with something to tell me. He said that life was filled with secrets, and that I was not supposed to uncover them until I was ready for the truth.
Feeling somewhat confused, I asked him what he meant by this. He told me that some secrets are best kept hidden and that I should pay more attention to things around me. He also said that I must have faith in what I believe and that those who had gone before me had given me a guide to follow.
I wasn’t sure how I should feel about this little moment between me and the Red Bag Lady. I mean, he did lie to me, but I think the experience actually ended up teaching me something. In a way, I was thankful for it.
This experience with the Red Bag Lady left me with more questions than answers. But I guess that’s the way life sometimes works, and we just have to figure out the answers as we go along.
It’s strange, isn’t it? How one little lie can lead you to such unexpected places? I think that maybe life is full of secrets, ones that we aren’t meant to know until the time is right. Who knows how many more secrets are out there just waiting to be discovered?
