You are the scariest monster in the woods

One of the most poignant moments in Disco Elysium is near the very end when you encounter a very elusive crypid/mythic beast.

The moment is treated with a lot of care and consideration, and the conversation itself is, I think, transcendent and some of the best writing in games (or any media) ever.

The line that sticks with me most is when the cryptid says:

"The moral of our encounter is: I am a relatively median lifeform -- while it is you who are total, extreme madness. A volatile simian nervous system, ominously new to the planet. The pale, too, came with you. No one remembers it before you. The cnidarians do not, the radially symmetricals do not. There is an almost unanimous agreement between the birds and the plants that you are going to destroy us all."

It's easy to see this reflected in nature in the real world. All animals and life seem to be aware and accommodating of each other, but humans are cut out from that communication. Everything runs from us, we are not part of the conversation. We are the exclusion, the anomaly.

I think to realize this deeply inside of yourself is a big moment of growth, to see that we exist in a world that was around long before us and will be around long after us.
