Trivia

  • The Inner Eye is a reference to the concept of the 'third eye', an idea popular in Eastern mysticism dictating the existence of an invisible third eye usually located on a person's forehead which would allow them to see beyond normal reality.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The eye on Character ??? (Character) icon.png???'s head appears as an X, similar to this character's other eyes
