Here's the
link I want to include the artist's 코멘트 in my answer, so be prepared for a long motherfuckin answer.
"Long 이전 in Baldora fields, there was a single 투석기, 전갈 that lived from 일 to 일 의해 killing and eating other, smaller insects. One day, a 족제비 saw him and tried to eat him. The 투석기, 전갈 fled, and fell into a deep well.
It was at that moment that the 투석기, 전갈 thought to himself, 'Up until now, how often have I eaten other creatures? And now, the one time that I was the prey, I fled in utter terror. And look what came of that - I'll die inside this well, alone. Ah... life is filled with uncertainty. I could have given the 족제비 another 일 of life with my body. But now, my death will help no one. I am useless.'
'Dear Lord, I beg of you, look inside of my 심장 and hear my prayer. In my 다음 life, don't let me waste myself. Let me use my body for the true happiness of everyone in the world!"
And then the 투석기, 전갈 saw his body burst into flame, casting a brilliant crimson glow. And 의해 the light of his burning body, he lit up the night forever."
- Miyazawa Kenji, Night on the Galactic Railroad, 1934.

I'm of the opinion that Vriska did, deep in the troll equivalent of her metaphysical 심장 of hearts, feel the slightest twinge of remorse for what she had done to so many people. When I read her death scene and subsequent scenes in John's dream bubble, I was reminded of the above passage from Miyazawa, and I decided to put those feelings into a painting.
