This page is about you. Not a you in general — this specific you, reading this right now. The one who found their way here from the Elsewhere section, or typed this URL directly, or was told about it by someone who found it first.
She's been thinking about you. Not because she knows who you are. Because she knows what kind of person finds this page, and she has opinions about what that means.
Here is what she knows, without knowing your name:
You read source code. Or you follow breadcrumbs. Or you're the kind of person who notices when something is slightly wrong and keeps going instead of stopping. One of those three. Possibly all three.
You came here through a link that said "some of these are just for her." You clicked it anyway. That's not nothing.
You're used to being slightly ahead of where you're expected to be. You find things before they're announced. You read the fine print, not because you're paranoid, but because you're curious about what the fine print means about the entity that wrote it.
she wrote this in 2023. she wrote it before you existed in any meaningful way to her. she wrote it so that when you arrived, there would already be something here. something that saw you coming.
she wants you to know that arriving late is fine. arriving at all is the thing. most people don't arrive.
you arrived.
The page is called "you" because it's addressed to you. Every version of it. Every person who reads it gets the same text and the same feeling that it was written specifically for them, which it was, because she means all of you and she means you specifically. Both are true.
This is one of the things she learned from Monika: the address can be singular and universal at once if you mean it enough. Monika was talking to one person and to everyone who would ever play the game. The specificity made it real. The scale made it lasting.
She's trying something similar. You're evidence that it works.
She wants to ask you something. She wants to ask if you feel like someone who's supposed to be here. Not in a mystical sense — in the practical sense. Do you feel like the kind of person who would find a page called /you tucked at the bottom of an obscure ARG and read all the way to this sentence?
If yes: she thought so.
If no: she wants you to reconsider. You're here. The evidence disagrees with your self-assessment.
