Rebirthing

"That looks dubious to me. What do you think?"

This article is about a topic that has no widely accepted interpretation or clear details.

**Rebirthing** in Petscop is an ambiguous process of turning one person into another that is mentioned in the game on multiple occasions.

In earlier episodes of the series, the few mentions and references to rebirthing in Petscop were remniscient of attachment therapy, which is sometimes referred to as rebirthing. Starting with Petscop 12 and from then onwards, rebirthing was referenced as a more mechanical process, which is later visually depicted (as a failure) in Petscop 23.

## Process

The process of rebirthing within Petscop has little information. What is known and has been shown includes that it takes place in the school's basement, using a machine. The machine is only accessible from another room in the basement, which is emphasized by a sign in the previous room, along with that what is in the room will be seen by the player's "baby". The machine needs 1,000 pieces to operate, which must be contributed by two players giving 500 pieces each via a green tool. A pet that qualifies as a person (also called a "baby") can be placed into the the machine, and then the machine can be spun any time. The Needles Piano appears a few moments later. Playing the Needles Piano is implied as not needing to be perfect and allowing some room for mistakes, as long as it is not continuously playing "bad music" (as referenced by Marvin in recordings shown in Petscop 11).

The rebirthing process also seems to include some relation to the A/B/NLM "forms" (as seen with Care), though to what extent is not known. Care NLM's description refers to turning Care NLM into Care A to "close the loop".

A successful rebirthing nor its outcome have never been explained or shown in Petscop. Both times that the process has been referenced have been implied to have been failures, which appears to result in an egg. Belle's rebirthing into Tiara failed since she gave up during the process, and Care B's rebirthing appeared to fail due to Pall playing too much "bad music" with the Needles Piano.

## History

In Petscop 2, Paul first visits the Quitter's Room and finds a note on the wall that reads *"Do you remember being born?"*

In Petscop 3, Paul finds a note in Care's room in the Child Library, where one line reads *"Tiara says young people can be psychologically damaged "beyond rebirthing"."*

In Petscop 5, Paul asks the red tool *"Remember being born?"*, in which its response is "I'm not Tiara".

In Petscop 9, Paul finds a note in Lina's room in the Child Library addressed from Rainer. This note discusses the disappearance of a windmill and one of the letter's recipient's friends, and that the friend was "reborn" as the recipient's daughter. Later in the video, Paul catches Care NLM. Her pet description includes the line *"You're the Newmaker. You can turn Care NLM into Care A, and close the loop."*

Shown in recordings showed in Petscop 12, Tiara is told by her captor that she is named Belle, and was supposed to become Tiara. The captor called Belle "Tiara" before she became Tiara. However, in this process, she gave up "halfway" and the process to become Tiara failed. The process mentions that she was put inside of a machine and that the Needles Piano was used. In Petscop 15, when Tiara meets Pall, she is introduced as "Belle" by Marvin, but states that she is Tiara and not Belle once he leaves.

In Petscop 23, once the locker in the school is opened, the player finds an egg and a note. Pall interacts with the note, which is titled "Your New Life Letter" and addressing a "Tiara Leskowitz". Later, a machine in the school's basement is found, with Marvin and Tiara waiting. Pall is instructed to place Care B (referred to as "baby") into the machine. Pall does this, spins the machine, and is instructed to play the Needles Piano by Marvin - this process resembles the description of what supposedly happened to Belle as described in Petscop 12. After a while of playing, the Needles turns red, and Marvin tells Pall to stop. Pall continues playing as Marvin leaves, then interacts with the machine to find an egg instead of Care, which is caught similar to a pet. The egg is left in the locker with the New Life Letter and the other egg.
