This article is about SUNNY. For the titular character of the game, see OMORI.

SUNNY is the player character and silent main protagonist in OMORI. SUNNY can be controlled and named by the player during the daytime sections, where FARAWAY TOWN and its areas can be explored.

PROFILE

APPEARANCE

SUNNY looks like an average teenager. He has straight, black, ear-length hair with a fringe that slightly covers his eyes. He also has arched eyebrows and eyes with the same shade of black, in contrast with his paler skin.

In the present, he wears a white-collared shirt with a black vest over it. He wears beige shorts, white socks, and black shoes. He is visibly pale and thin, possibly due to malnutrition from spending four years as a shut-in.

PERSONALITY

Throughout both his childhood and the game's events, SUNNY is extremely shy and quiet. He rarely speaks and does not like to smile. However, despite not expressing it as clearly as the others, he still appears to care deeply for his friends, as his most treasured memories in MEMORY LANE and the LOST LIBRARY are of his time spent with them. Multiple characters, such as BASIL and AUBREY, describe SUNNY as a "really good listener" who does not mind listening to them vent. HERO also states that SUNNY has a great memory.

SUNNY appears to struggle with issues of self-confidence and self-worth. He perceives himself as weak, worthless, and not "good enough." As the "baby of the group," he often falls back on others to take care of him but feels guilty for this as he does not believe he does anything for his friends in return. While these self-worth issues existed before MARI's death, they drastically worsened afterward to the point where SUNNY may become suicidal in certain endings.

Despite being quiet, SUNNY is angered easily, from minor frustrations like the HOUSEFLIES in OTHERMART to much more significant things like his resentment toward the violin. This building resentment ultimately leads to him throwing his violin down the staircase, causing his and MARI's final argument.

SUNNY has also always had a very vivid imagination. He enjoys toys and video games and tends to get lost in daydreams. However, after MARI's death, these daydreams turned into the full-out escapism of HEADSPACE as he became too afraid to face the truth.

BACKGROUND

A family photo of SUNNY, MARI, and their parents.

SUNNY was born to unnamed parents on July 20th of an unknown year, being approximately 16 years old during the events of the game. He had an older sister named MARI. He lived in FARAWAY TOWN since he was a child, sharing a room with his older sister.

As neighbors with KEL and HERO, SUNNY and MARI quickly became friends with them. Not too long after, they met AUBREY and BASIL and befriended them as well. BASIL's photo album shows the group being close friends: going to school together, celebrating birthdays, and building a treehouse.

When MARI became very invested in playing piano, SUNNY wanted to take up the violin to play with her. His wish was granted when his friends gathered enough money to buy him a violin for Christmas. The next year, SUNNY and MARI began practicing for an upcoming music recital together. However, SUNNY did not enjoy violin as he thought he would - he grew frustrated with practicing and MARI's perfectionism, wishing he could spend time with his friends instead.

On the day of the recital, SUNNY reached a breaking point with his frustration and threw his violin down the staircase. MARI soon saw the broken violin and began yelling at him. SUNNY was too disoriented to understand why. He tried to leave by going down the staircase, but when MARI blocked his path, he pushed her out of the way, causing MARI to fall down the stairs and land on top of the broken violin.

After shutting himself away, Sunny begins his continuous cycle of escapism within Headspace through Omori.

SUNNY panicked when MARI didn't get back up, and after dragging her back to bed so she could "rest," broke down upon realizing that she was dead. BASIL, who had witnessed the tragic event, became distraught at the sight of this as well. Attempting to help SUNNY avoid blame, he guided him to hang MARI's body to a tree outside and stage her death as a suicide.

At some point following MARI's death, SUNNY stopped going to school and began visiting WHITE SPACE through a black-and-white doppelgänger called OMORI. He cut himself off from the outside world and lost contact with his friends, refusing to leave his house at all. With the help of OMORI, SUNNY repressed his memories of the day MARI died and instead lived in the colorful world of HEADSPACE, but the truth still haunted him in the form of SOMETHING. SUNNY lived this way for about three or four years until the game's events took place.

STORY

SUNNY wakes up after being forced to leave WHITE SPACE. While attempting to get food from the kitchen, he must conquer his fear of heights to go down the stairs, where he encounters SOMETHING IN THE DARK. During the battle, he remembers how to CALM DOWN and uses it to get past his fear. After microwaving and eating the steak in the fridge, he proceeds to get sick and throw it back up. He then hears HELLMARI knocking at the door and possibly opens the door for her (depending on the player's choice). Having enough of these horrific visions, SUNNY heads back to sleep.

SUNNY wakes up in the morning to the sound of yet another door knocking, this time the person being KEL. This is when SUNNY can choose to ignore him and stay indoors, starting the OMORI ROUTE, or he can open the door for KEL and start going down either the OMORI ROUTE or SUNNY ROUTE.

SUNNY ROUTE

THREE DAYS LEFT

When deciding to open the door, SUNNY is greeted by an older KEL, who wants to hang out with him before the latter moves away. This allows SUNNY to see his old friends and become more active within his waking life. The day goes on as SUNNY and KEL learn that AUBREY stole BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM, so the two of them have to search where she went off to after a confrontation. Eventually, they find her at the CHURCH and, after a battle, she runs out and returns to her home.

As SUNNY and KEL are walking back, they notice AUBREY throwing something into the garbage; only to find out that it is the PHOTO ALBUM she stole. They soon return the album to BASIL when visiting his house. While some of the photos are missing, the three look through the album and reminisce on the memories they shared all those years ago. When SUNNY is looking around in BASIL'S GRANDMA's room, BASIL enters and gives the PHOTO ALBUM to SUNNY for him to keep.

While eating dinner with POLLY, BASIL, and KEL, KEL reveals to BASIL that SUNNY will be moving away in three days. BASIL excuses himself from the table, and when checked on, SUNNY finds that he is having a panic attack in the bathroom, with SOMETHING visible around him. BASIL comments on SOMETHING being behind SUNNY and questions why SUNNY "looks so scared." When SUNNY tries to leave, BASIL cries out to him, begging him not to leave him again. SUNNY ignores him and returns to his home.

When SUNNY returns home, he begins to hallucinate his house being overrun by spiders and spiderlike creatures. The closet door is also visible for the first time. At the top of the stairs, he encounters SOMETHING IN THE WALLS and remembers how to FOCUS to be able to overcome his fear. He then enters his room and goes back to sleep, returning to HEADSPACE once again.

TWO DAYS LEFT

Sunny hallucinates Mari saving him from drowning once again.

On the second day, KEL comes to pick up SUNNY again, and the two of them run errands to prepare for HERO's return from college. They then go to the HANGOUT SPOT and meet BASIL, who is still being bullied by THE HOOLIGANS. KEL and SUNNY have a fight with THE HOOLIGANS, after which all of them but AUBREY leave. AUBREY begins arguing with KEL, and when BASIL tries to comfort her, she pushes him away and into the lake, causing SUNNY to dive in after him and confront his fear of drowning. This is where he learns to PERSIST, but despite this, SUNNY isn't able to save BASIL or himself.

While blacked out, SUNNY briefly envisions what appears to be MARI helping him up to the lake's surface. However, he soon regains consciousness and discovers that the figure who saved both him and BASIL was none other than HERO. SUNNY, KEL, and HERO decide to take BASIL back to his home to recover. When AUBREY asks why they're leaving, KEL brushes her off, and the group leaves her behind. After bringing BASIL back to his home, SUNNY, KEL, and HERO spend the rest of the afternoon hanging out together. The three eventually eat dinner together (after HERO and KEL convince their mother) and then have a sleepover at SUNNY's house. SUNNY falls asleep and enters HEADSPACE once more.

After OMORI reaches his THRONE OF HANDS in RED SPACE, SUNNY suddenly wakes up, falling out of his bed. He hears a familiar piano tune playing and heads downstairs to revisit the piano room. From there, he finds the spirit of MARI, who tells him that waltzes were always her favorite and apologizes for pushing him too hard on playing the violin.

Just as MARI asks if he wants to play their recital song together, HERO bursts into the room and MARI's spirit disappears. Understanding that SUNNY was there due to missing MARI, he tells SUNNY he feels the same. SUNNY leaves the room, and when he looks back, he hears HERO crying and mourning MARI in the piano room. He backs away and returns to his room to fall asleep again, this time with no dreams.

ONE DAY LEFT

When SUNNY wakes up in the morning, HERO informs him that he finished doing the former's chores and made breakfast for him and KEL. However, SUNNY's breakfast is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of KIM knocking on the door. KIM tells the three that AUBREY isn't coming out of her house, and the HOOLIGANS feel worried about her. HERO, along with KEL and SUNNY, agrees to help AUBREY and heads over to her house to check on her. Upon arriving there, the three boys find trash scattered everywhere and AUBREY'S MOM unresponsive and fixated in front of the TV.

Sunny, Kel, Aubrey, and Hero reconcile and share a group hug together.

They head up to AUBREY's room, where AUBREY is shown all by herself. Upon noticing her old friends, AUBREY expresses frustration with them for entering her home without permission, but HERO makes her finally talk honestly with the others about what happened and then has her make up with the others. The group also find the missing photos, which all picture MARI, on her corkboard, AUBREY mentioning that she took them because "it's all she has left of her." They put the photos back in the PHOTO ALBUM, completing the album with the exception of one missing photo, and leave the house.

The reunited friends first visit BASIL'S HOUSE to check on him, only to find out from POLLY that BASIL is at the hospital visiting his grandmother. Despite this, SUNNY and friends decide to check on BASIL later, spending the rest of their day hanging out while reminiscing the past at some spots in town. They soon return to SUNNY's house and visit their old treehouse upon HERO suggesting that they should visit it. Upon entering the treehouse, SUNNY uncovers the missing picture containing the TOY BOX KEY to unlock his abandoned toy box. As the group reminiscences the happier memories of their childhood, AUBREY storms out of the treehouse.

HERO and KEL follow her, with SUNNY leaving last. Near the tree stump where MARI had supposedly died, SUNNY and the others listen to AUBREY being open about her feelings, as she places a windmill on the stump. She apologizes for blaming them for not being there for her, with SUNNY quietly stepping back upon seeing her cry. The four friends then reconcile for real and share a big group hug together.

The group heads over to BASIL's house to comfort him but the latter has locked himself away in his room, unresponsive. Regardless, they all eventually decide to stay over for the night to celebrate SUNNY's last day at FARAWAY TOWN, as well as being there for BASIL. Before falling asleep in the living room, HERO, KEL, and AUBREY tell SUNNY that life will get better even after he moves out, as he still has them in heart and spirit. They all fall asleep after having a heartfelt conversation.

THE TRUTH

Sunny awakens in White Space, ready to confront the truth.

Briefly seeing BASIL being consumed by his guilt, SUNNY finds himself in WHITE SPACE, where OMORI observes him with no intention of merging as they previously did for the past four years. SUNNY pulls out the black light bulb and smashes it on the floor, causing the room to black out, finally ending the suppression of his memories. This allows him to confront SOMETHING and the previous three variants he fought over the past few days.

He manages to overcome SOMETHING once he finally sees its true form as MARI's hanged corpse. SUNNY is then warped to a peaceful meadow, where a vision of BASIL awaits him. BASIL tells SUNNY that once he remembers the truth behind what truly happened to MARI, he has to stay strong regardless of what happens. SUNNY prepares to face the truth and re-enters BLACK SPACE as himself.

A terrified Sunny tries to stop Basil from killing them both.

SUNNY soon goes through several distorted rooms, collecting photos containing the truth behind MARI's tragic death. At the end, he puts them all together in a PHOTO ALBUM, finally remembering the truth of what happened. After fully remembering what happened that night, SUNNY wakes up and has the option to either save BASIL from his despair or let him suffer all alone. If SUNNY chooses to go back to sleep, this will lead to one of the NEUTRAL endings of the game where BASIL kills himself.

If choosing the option to SAVE HIM, SUNNY will confront BASIL to stop him from committing suicide. The two boys fight each other, and SUNNY gets his right eye stabbed in the process. Unable to continue fighting, SUNNY falls unconscious and both are rushed to the hospital.

MOVING DAY

Sunny refuses to give up against Omori during their final battle.

Upon falling unconscious, SUNNY has a dream where he talks to both BASIL and MARI's spirit in a facsimile of FARAWAY TOWN. After conversing with the two, SUNNY recovers his broken violin and some SHEET MUSIC in the toy box and leaves his home. He soon finds himself on MEMORY LANE, a rainy road filled with various streetlights that transport him to cherished memories he had with MARI and his friends. Each time he remembers a fond moment from six of his memories, SUNNY's violin slowly repairs itself.

After fixing his violin, SUNNY enters the BACKSTAGE of the concert hall. He finds visions of AUBREY, KEL, and HERO waiting for him. They encourage him to move forward as life will get better, and even though he did something bad, that doesn't mean he's a bad person. These visions wish him good luck and disappear. SUNNY goes up to the concert stage and plays his violin. However, he breaks down crying as the song he plays reminds him of MARI.

SUNNY is warped to WHITE SPACE, where OMORI awaits him. The two end up battling for control of SUNNY's mind. OMORI ends up overwhelming SUNNY by constantly reminding him of what he'd done to MARI and saying that he doesn't deserve forgiveness for his actions. Two possible outcomes depend on whether the player chooses to continue or to give up after losing to OMORI the first time.

GOOD ENDING

Sunny is finally able to move on from Mari's death.

If SUNNY chooses to continue, he performs the duet recital with MARI, remembering the good times he's spent with MARI and his friends during his youth. OMORI accepts defeat and falls into SUNNY's arms, disintegrating and disappearing. SUNNY awakens in the HOSPITAL with a bandage over his right eye and begins crying as he finally comes to terms with MARI's death.

Stepping out of his room, SUNNY briefly hallucinates OMORI's HEADSPACE friends leaving, and STRANGER for the last time leading him to BASIL's room, before disappearing. Upon reaching the room SUNNY faces his friends and finally tells them the truth behind MARI's death.

If the player has made an effort to water BASIL's flowers on TWO DAYS LEFT in HEADSPACE, an additional cutscene appears after the credits. SUNNY and BASIL gaze at each other and smile as their SOMETHINGs fade away, showing that regardless of how everyone else has or will react, the burden that they have shouldered for four years has lifted, and they are both ready to move on.

BAD ENDING

Unable to accept the truth, Sunny commits suicide by jumping off the hospital's balcony.

If SUNNY chooses not to continue, he will disappear into OMORI's arms, as OMORI presumably takes control of SUNNY's mind. From there, OMORI wakes up in WHITE SPACE. As usual, he visits his friends in NEIGHBOR'S ROOM, but all of them appear to be strangely silent upon greeting him. Regardless, they all gather, and together they head out of the door.

As OMORI and friends leave NEIGHBOR'S ROOM for another adventure, the screen cuts over to the HOSPITAL, where SUNNY is shown standing on its balcony. Due to being unable to accept the truth regarding MARI's death, SUNNY commits suicide by jumping off the building. As he fails to make amends to his friends and sister, SUNNY plummets endlessly to his death.

OMORI ROUTE

Sunny cannot escape from his own self-guilt, continuously denying the truth.

SUNNY chooses to ignore KEL and spends the rest of his remaining days doing chores his mother left for him. As he does these chores, he encounters the variants of SOMETHING, but isn't truly able to overcome his trauma even after defeating them. He also begins repressing more memories of MARI's death as he chooses to shut himself away even more than before.

By the time OMORI arrives in BLACK SPACE, STRANGER attempts to stop SUNNY from submerging himself further into his dream world of escapism. SUNNY tries to fight off STRANGER but fails as the shadowy figure overwhelms him, leading to him being teleported into RED SPACE, where OMORI awaits him on his throne of RED HANDS.

Seeing that his original self isn't capable of facing his ongoing fears, OMORI decides to help SUNNY once more. However, upon confronting the STRANGER again, the figure gives up on convincing SUNNY to stop his unhealthy coping mechanism. OMORI is then warped back to BLACK SPACE by a RED HAND, allowing him to rescue BASIL in the CHURCH OF SOMETHING.

Sunny resigns himself to a never-ending cycle of dreaming forever.

SUNNY eventually wakes up, only to find SOMETHING following him at every step of his house. Unable to suppress SOMETHING's presence, SUNNY succumbs further to his self-hate. If SUNNY chooses to go back to sleep, he ends up overwhelmed by his past traumatic memories.

OMORI then decides to "save" SUNNY from being entirely consumed by his trauma. From there, he assumes complete control over SUNNY's body, causing the latter to cease to exist as he resigns himself to a never-ending cycle of dreaming forever and being unable to face the truth. From there, only the NEUTRAL ENDINGS are available.

NEUTRAL ENDINGS

Sunny discovers Basil's corpse with his Something staring at him.

If SUNNY chooses to GO TO SLEEP in BASIL'S HOUSE after regaining his memories of the truth, an alternative series of events will occur. Upon reawakening, SUNNY finds himself alone in the living room. He heads to the hallway, only to find his friends and POLLY in the hallway, distraught over BASIL's suicide. Opening BASIL's door reveals his corpse slumped against the wall with a large hole in his abdomen represented by SOMETHING.

The only option will then be to return home. Upon doing so, a bloody and mutilated version of SUNNY stands atop the stairs, only if SUNNY has already seen BASIL's corpse. Entering SUNNY's room reveals a clump of black hair hanging over the bed. The rest of the game will then play out depending on if SUNNY picks up the knife or not before going to sleep.

ABANDON ENDING

Sunny leaves Faraway Town behind, unable to confront the truth nor reconcile with his childhood friends.

If SUNNY chooses to resume sleeping in his bed and leaves the knife be in the kitchen, this will lead to a repeat of the WHITE SPACE intro scene from the start of the game. OMORI appears in WHITE SPACE as usual, but there is no door to HEADSPACE, and the light bulb is still missing. All OMORI can do is STAB himself to wake SUNNY up.

Upon waking up, SUNNY heads outside as various movers move the last of his belongings outside the house. From there, SUNNY silently meets his mother in her car while SOMETHING continues stalking him, implying that he will never get over his trauma as well as leaving his distraught friends behind with no answers. Ambulance sirens play over the credits. This can also be done on the MOVING DAY of the OMORI ROUTE.

KNIFE ENDING

Sunny's body covered in blood from stabbing himself with a knife in his sleep.

If SUNNY picks up the knife on the kitchen counter before heading to bed, using the STAB option in WHITE SPACE as OMORI will cause SUNNY to physically STAB himself as well. Upon doing so, the screen then reveals SUNNY unresponsive, having killed himself in his sleep. SUNNY's answering machine continuously rings as he lays on his bed, clutching a knife into his bleeding chest. The screen darkens as the credits roll while the answering machine's ringing continues.

An alternate version of the knife ending takes place if SUNNY chooses to stab himself after waking up anytime on ONE DAY LEFT or MOVING DAY of the OMORI ROUTE. This can be done by opening the player menu and selecting the STAB option. While notably hesitating at first, SUNNY eventually stabs himself in the chest, collapsing as he slowly bleeds to death. This will lead to the same darkened screen as shown before. The only difference is that SOMETHING's eyes swarm the screen while the constant ringing of a phone plays in the background.

RELATIONSHIPS

OMORI

After MARI's death, SUNNY would cope by entering WHITE SPACE via a monochrome 'alter-ego' named OMORI. Through OMORI, SUNNY would live in a make-believe world where MARI was still alive and his friends were still in contact. It's worth noting that OMORI appears younger than SUNNY, keeping a lot of the physical and mental characteristics that SUNNY had before MARI's death.

When SUNNY begins to remember and uncover the truth, his relationship with OMORI deteriorates and comes to a head when they meet face-to-face. Though OMORI is antagonistic towards SUNNY in their final battle, the words he says are assumed to be his thoughts. After the final battle, they appear to embrace, the loser of the fight disappearing. Whoever remains depends on the player deciding to continue the struggle or not.

Should the player decide to pursue the OMORI ROUTE, OMORI remains protective of SUNNY, even protecting SUNNY from STRANGER and taking control over his body. After that, his reflection is seen in the bathroom mirror instead of SUNNY's.

"OMORI" was also the name engraved on the piano that MARI played and the piano in CHURCH.

BASIL

SUNNY and BASIL were childhood friends. They refer to each other as best friends and appeared to enjoy reading together.

SUNNY and BASIL stopped talking after MARI's death as SUNNY shut himself off from the outside world. Despite this, BASIL is still attached to SUNNY, begging him not to leave multiple times. He is very protective of SUNNY, even blaming his actions towards MARI on "something behind him" because he does not want to believe SUNNY could do such a thing.

His protectiveness goes as far as to be on the receiving end of bullying when AUBREY blames him for striking out faces in the pictures inside the photo book, which is later revealed to have been SUNNY's doing. Despite this protectiveness, his feelings towards SUNNY are complicated when they finally meet face-to-face. Although he protected SUNNY for years, keeping secret the circumstances of MARI's death, he is upset that SUNNY quietly disappeared in the aftermath. If the player chooses to save him, BASIL expresses appreciation that SUNNY "finally came back for [him]" but feels betrayed that SUNNY did so just days before he is set to move away.

BASIL holds himself partially responsible for what happened with MARI and is shown to be haunted by his own version of SOMETHING. On ONE DAY LEFT of the NEUTRAL ENDINGS, BASIL's SOMETHING ultimately drives him to commit suicide.

Depending on the player's choices, SUNNY can save BASIL in the SUNNY ROUTE by entering his room just before he commits suicide. BASIL attacks SUNNY to get rid of his perceived "something behind you" that killed MARI instead of SUNNY. This will result in the boys being severely injured and SUNNY losing function in his right eye. Should the player continuously water BASIL's flowers in HEADSPACE, there is a SECRET ENDING in which BASIL wakes up after SUNNY tells everyone the truth. They smile at each other, and both of their SOMETHINGs disappear.

KEL

KEL is one of SUNNY's childhood friends and his next-door neighbor, with both of them being referred to as "best friends". Although both of them grew apart after MARI's death, it is after SUNNY's house is put on sale that KEL attempted to reach out to SUNNY again. Should SUNNY open the door for KEL when he knocks on THREE DAYS LEFT, he reacts with surprise, but immediately asks to hang out. Though they might not be as close as they were before, KEL quickly warms up to SUNNY, repeatedly insisting that they (amongst the others except for AUBREY for a while) are still best friends, no matter what.

KEL trusts SUNNY a great deal, even after years of separation. At FARAWAY CEMETERY, he opens up to SUNNY, talking about how he dealt with MARI's death and its aftermath.

According to KEL, SUNNY and he would sneak out at night to go to HOBBEEZ. He also says that SUNNY was the better of the two when it came to video games.

AUBREY

AUBREY is one of SUNNY's childhood friends.After SUNNY dropped out of school and became a shut-in, AUBREY changed her personality and appearance and made new friends as a result of everyone drifting apart.

If SUNNY explores FARAWAY, AUBREY is almost unrecognizable from the girl he knows in HEADSPACE. Though much has changed, it is clear that AUBREY still cares for him a lot, even if she finds it harder to express herself in the present. It is worth noting that SUNNY does not appear to say anything to AUBREY in the present, though she vainly attempts to tell him something when they are alone. She can be found with HERO and KEL in BASIL's room in the GOOD ENDING.

Throughout the game, it is hinted that SUNNY may have had a crush on her when they were younger, but it is unknown if these feelings remained years later and if AUBREY ever requited them.

HERO

HERO is another of SUNNY's childhood friends, being next-door neighbors to SUNNY due to being KEL's brother. During the events of the game, HERO comes back to FARAWAY TOWN and saves SUNNY and BASIL from drowning.

Although HERO and SUNNY do not interact much, SUNNY looks up to HERO through his thoughts in-game. SUNNY respects HERO and is willing to use his MONEY to buy a gift for him. SUNNY also admires HERO for his charisma and hard-working demeanor, often reacting in awe to his actions.

After MARI's death, one can presume that they did not speak in the gap between then and TWO DAYS LEFT, as SUNNY withdrew from his friends and HERO became emotionally detached. He still seems friendly and caring with SUNNY even after four years of them not talking to each other.

MARI

MARI is SUNNY's older sister. As seen in the PHOTO ALBUM and SUNNY's flashbacks, they're shown to care about each other very much.

In an incident when SUNNY was drowning in the lake at their HANGOUT SPOT, MARI immediately jumped in after him. After rescuing and resuscitating him, she collapsed and sobbed with relief.

Because MARI would spend much time practicing piano, SUNNY picked up the violin to spend more time with her. They practiced together often for the upcoming recital, though her perfectionism pushed SUNNY too hard, contributing to her untimely death.

Though her death and the circumstances surrounding it continue to haunt SUNNY, she is shown to be forgiving in the DREAM WORLD and beyond, hoping SUNNY can forgive himself and find happiness. Throughout the game, MARI's apparition often appears before both OMORI and SUNNY, offering words of consolation and comfort. When confronting SOMETHING or his fears, SUNNY can hear MARI's words of encouragement, helping him learn how to CALM DOWN, FOCUS, PERSIST, and CHERISH over the course of the game.

SUNNY'S MOM

While she only appears once in the game, SUNNY's mom frequently leaves voicemails for her son, asking how SUNNY is doing and how his packing is going. The player can infer that she cares a lot about her son, as she knows his favorite food, STEAK, and speaks kindly to him in her voicemails. In BLACK SPACE 2, you can interact with a box that plays past dialogue from SUNNY'S MOM, saying, "There, there... SUNNY... We'll protect you... Everything will be okay..." She is the only parent that SUNNY interacts with throughout the game.

SUNNY'S DAD

SUNNY's DAD is a character who is never shown in the game but is implied to have been in SUNNY's family until MARI's death. He is shown in the family photo that hangs in SUNNY's house, alongside the rest of SUNNY's family. Additionally, BASIL writes that he is worried SUNNY's dad may not approve of one of his pictures of MARI and HERO in his photo album due to the implication of their relationship.

Upon collecting all of the correct keys for HANGMAN in HEADSPACE, you will be able to view a scene of what is presumably SUNNY's dad attempting to cut down the tree where SUNNY and BASIL framed MARI's death. If he is interacted with, he says "You are not my son." The meaning of this line changes depending on who it is directed towards: if SUNNY's DAD is speaking to OMORI, then the line may be literal; OMORI is not his son, SUNNY is. If this is meant to be a memory of him speaking to SUNNY, it may indicate SUNNY's DAD disowned him due to the incident.

In either interpretation, we see that he was the one who cut the tree in SUNNY's backyard down, and he most likely left the family because of the trauma of MARI's death.

BATTLE

Unlike his “alter ego” OMORI, SUNNY doesn't have the former's unique skills, as most of his fights occur in FARAWAY TOWN. He lacks OMORI's emotive potential and balanced stats, most likely due to his malnourishment and social withdrawal from his past four years as a hikikomori. SUNNY's EMOTIONS cannot go past the first tier except for AFRAID, and he cannot become HAPPY.

Due to these traits, SUNNY should primarily be used as support for healing his friends, as KEL serves as the heavy hitter of the group when using them in regular battles. However, when in the optional area of RECYCULTIST'S HQ, SUNNY serves as the heavy hitter of the group due to being capable of increasing the damage he can inflict on enemies via skills and wielding the STEAK KNIFE for the entire sequence.

SUNNY also possesses his own set of SKILLS that allows him to recover his HP, remove any emotional stats, and withstand SOMETHING's various forms he encounters throughout the game. Most of these SKILLS are learned during the respective fights against SOMETHING IN THE DARK, WALLS, and WATER. He can eventually learn how to OVERCOME the embodiment of his ongoing guilt if the player is on the SUNNY ROUTE of the game.

SUNNY's power reaches its absolute peak once he decides to accept the truth, regain possession of his violin, and move on from MARI's death in the SUNNY ROUTE. His stats drastically increase during his climactic fight against OMORI on ONE DAY LEFT. In addition, he learns a new batch of powerful SKILLS consisting of ALLEGRO, ENCORE, and CHERISH. These skills are essential to help SUNNY come to terms with the past and face the present.

*Sunny has five different variations of his attack skill:

• The first one (Knife) is used when he is equipped with a knife.
• The second one (Hand) is his normal attack animation after Kel confiscated his knife.

LEVEL STATS

NORMAL GAMEPLAY

The data table shows SUNNY's raw stats without any item bonuses. Note that all playable FARAWAY characters only remain at LEVEL 1 as they cannot properly level up in-game.

In addition, SUNNY cannot unequip any weapon he has currently equipped in the menu system. This means that his initial ATTACK and HIT stats will increase depending on his combat weapon. Equipping the CHIMERA KEYCHAIN or SEASHELL NECKLACE can slightly increase some of SUNNY's stats.

SUNNY'S STATS (No Weapons/Charms/Boosts)
LEVEL	HEART	JUICE	ATTACK	DEFENSE	SPEED	LUCK	HIT
1	80	30	7	2	6	5	75

OMORI BOSS FIGHT

The table below lists SUNNY's raw stats exclusive to the OMORI boss fight on the SUNNY ROUTE. SUNNY's HEART, ATTACK, DEFENSE, and SPEED all take a drastic boost once his three friends vanish during the BACKSTAGE scene.

In addition, when facing off against his "alter ego", a state named (Status) Final Battle will increase his HIT RATE by 1000%. The SEASHELL NECKLACE also retains its effects, increasing HEART and JUICE for the final battle if it is equipped.

PHOTO ALBUM

(12/25 - CHRISTMAS): My first photo! It's my best friend, SUNNY, trying out his new violin. He's starting to take lessons again so he can play at recitals with his sister, MARI. So exciting!

(2/18 MY BIRTHDAY): SUNNY playing a video game on the couch. SUNNY is a little shy, but he's a really good listener. I always end up venting to him when I get upset or stressed. Sometimes I feel like I'm bothering him, but he never seems to mind.

(3/9): HERO and MARI washing the dishes from breakfast. We're staying over MARI and SUNNY this weekend. It's getting warmer lately so we're about to go to the park. KEL says there's a secret lake area behind some bushes, so we're all going to check it out!

(3/10): Me showing SUNNY a book I've been reading. MARI stole my camera and took this when I wasn't paying attention. I should really keep better track of my things.

(3/10): It's all of us cuddling with SUNNY's stuffed animals. He has so many, and they're all so soft! I wish I could just lay here forever.

(3/31): It's already the last day of March! We're having a picnic with MARI at our secret lake spot. MARI wanted to take pictures of everyone! Say cheese!

(3/31): After eating all the food, everyone fell asleep, except me, HERO, and MARI. Something unfortunate happened when I was taking the photo. Ahem... Thanks a lot, HECTOR. I'll have to cover it up with tape later.

(4/9): I caught MARI carrying SUNNY on the way home from school today. He must have fallen asleep on the bus. I thought it was so cute, so I got my camera out as quick as I could to snap this once-in-a-lifetime photo! Sigh... Sometimes I wish I had a sibling.

(4/21): MARI is teaching everyone how to make flower crowns! Here's SUNNY and KEL holding MARI's example. It looks perfect, doesn't it? If only MARI thought so, too.

(4/29): AUBREY won't let KEL under the umbrella, but KEL seems to be taking it just fine. He says he likes how the rain tastes.

(5/25): MARI bought everyone popsicles, one of every flavor! SUNNY got lemon, HERO got root beer, KEL got orange, AUBREY got watermelon, and MARI got grape! Mine was banana... It tasted okay.

(5/25): All of our shoes in a circle! Can you guess whose shoes are whose?

(6/22): We buried SUNNY in the sand! It took forever, but looks like he's enjoying himself. I wonder if he's going to need help getting out. I guess I'll keep him company until then.

(6/22): MARI says she wants to get a summer tan! I'm scared to fall asleep in the sun, since I get sunburned really easily. Hmm... I'm not sure what KEL is doing here, but he's probably having a good time.

(7/20 - SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): Yay! SUNNY is turning 12 today! Even though me, SUNNY, AUBREY AND KEL are in the same school year, SUNNY is younger than all of us. He's the baby of the group, so we have to take care of him!

(7/20 SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): SUNNY holding a super huge present, from MARI and HERO! Hmm... I wonder what it is.

(7/20 - SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): You can't really tell from the photo, but MARI and HERO got SUNNY a giant building block set. SUNNY seems much more interested in the box though. He acts just like Mari's new kitten, MEWO!

(7/20 SUNNY'S BIRTHDAY): SUNNY won't leave the box, so KEL put a food bowl inside. I guess this box will be SUNNY and MEWO's new home.

(8/4): We're going beetle-catching today! Here's KEL, ready to pounce on his next victim! Oh, and SUNNY is there too. He looks kind of sleepy.

(8/14): Ta-da! All summer, we've been working on a treehouse in SUNNY's backyard and today it's finally finished! HERO and his dad did most of the heavy work, but AUBREY and I made paper plants to put in the window still!

(8/16): All of us hanging out in our brand new treehouse! Looks like SUNNY is finally reading the book I showed him! I want to spend every day in here, but it's a shame that summer vacation is almost over. I hope we get to use this treehouse more next summer!

(9/9): Sigh... Goodbye, summer! Until next year...

(9/9): SUNNY giving MARI a big hug! MARI doesn't come home until late now because she's taking extra classes to prepare for college. Me and SUNNY have been hanging out a lot, but I'm sure he still misses her a lot.

(9/22): After some begging, SUNNY came to join MARI for recital practice... Hehe... They're still working out some stuff, but they already sound so amazing! I know they're going to be great. Go, MARI! Go, SUNNY! You can do it!

STICKERS

TRIVIA

• SUNNY's character was conceptualized around the idea of a silent protagonist whose silence is a part of their personality, but who thinks a lot. This links back to some of OMOCAT's favorite characters, such as Red from Pokémon or Link from The Legend of Zelda.
  • SUNNY's awkwardness and mannerisms were based on OMOCAT's behavior during their high school years, describing themselves being comfortable as a quiet friend who tagged along with loud and exciting individuals.
  • His clothing and hairstyle are based on the former's elementary school friend. Said friend would often listen to OMOCAT's strange ramblings, much like how SUNNY would listen to BASIL or AUBREY whenever they vented to him.
  • SUNNY's personal experiences in the game are noted to mirror OMOCAT's, as they themselves were once a loner who watched other children from afar and dreamt of an ideal childhood. OMOCAT's uncontrollable imagination also haunted their dreams in the form of hallucinations and nightmares, alluding to SUNNY's vivid imagination.
  • The outfit that SUNNY, MARI, and BASIL wear is based on OMOCAT's school uniform from elementary to high school.
• SUNNY's EMOTION stats cannot go past the first tier except for AFRAID. It is also shown in the game's data that he is immune to the HAPPY EMOTION status.
• According to OMOCAT, SUNNY's name was determined in the "really last minute" because they could not decide what to name him.
  • This is proven by SUNNY never being referred to as his default name in the game's files. Instead, he is referred to as PLAYER or OMORI. These names can also be found through the RPG Maker MV project of the game.
  • In the internal forbidden name list used for renaming SUNNY, the name "omori" is listed after "biden", which is the surname of the 46th president of the United States Joseph Biden, who was elected on November 7, 2020. This implies the protagonist was given a name different from "OMORI" in the last two months before the game released.
• SUNNY's favorite food, according to his mother, is STEAK. This references Ness, the main protagonist of the 1994 Super NES game EarthBound, as his favorite food by default is also steak.
• SUNNY's short stature may be a result of stunted growth from prolonged malnutrition, as multiple characters comment on him being underweight.

• In the game's early development stages, the developers planned to allow choosing SUNNY's gender between male or female. This feature would be scrapped later, most likely due to how it would require much more work to add additional sprites for SUNNY's overworld animations.
• There was originally an option where SUNNY could change his uniform depending on his job in FARAWAY TOWN. However, the only uniform SUNNY can wear is the one for the GINO'S pizza minigame.
• SUNNY is the only playable character to have two different NEUTRAL battle portraits. The one with his eyes opened is used for regular battles, whereas the one with his eyes closed is used for unique battles. These consist of the encounters against the three fear bosses, SOMETHING and OMORI.
• SUNNY and MARI traded beds when the latter realized he had trouble falling asleep.
• SUNNY would sleep in MARI's bed with her when he had nightmares.
• If the player chooses to name SUNNY "OMOCAT" during the PROLOGUE, this will yield the You think you're clever, huh... achievement, a nod to the leading creator of the game. However, this only applies to the PC version of the game as the console versions has the achievement entirely removed from the game.
  • This also yields the code haveadollariguess for players to put at OMOCAT's official shop for $1.00 off.

• OMORI's influence causes SUNNY to commit similar actions in his sleep to those in HEADSPACE. Should SUNNY bring a knife with him to bed in one of the NEUTRAL ENDINGS, OMORI stabbing himself in WHITE SPACE will result in SUNNY stabbing himself in reality.
  • It's also possible that this was how SUNNY vandalized the PHOTO ALBUM, leading to the ongoing friction between AUBREY and BASIL during and before the game's events.
    • This is evident on the MIXED ROUTE where SUNNY doesn't answer KEL knocking on the door on TWO DAYS LEFT despite answering the day before. Rechecking the PHOTO ALBUM on the ONE DAY LEFT segment after waking up will reveal the photos scribbled in black marker once again.
• SUNNY bears a striking resemblance to a character created by OMOCAT in 2012, dubbed SICKBOY. SICKBOY has four known artworks, with the character's first being edited and sold as a shirt.
  • Furthermore, there is evidence of SICKBOY being a possible version of SUNNY. SICKBOY's mask patterns and brain made out of snakes reappear in artwork featuring OMORI. SICKBOY is also seen being associated with pianos, as an artwork made for the show TWO TONES depicts the character playing one.
  • The COUGH MASK item given by ABBI could also serve as a reference to SICKBOY.

• In the game's files, there is an NPC resembling what appears to be a HEADSPACE version of SUNNY wearing a FLOWER CROWN. The developers most likely used this NPC for various testing purposes during the game's development.
• SUNNY has an unused version of his in-game portrait stored in MARI's sprite sheet. This was originally going to be used in an unused cutscene meant for the GOOD ENDING.
