m3 was also greatly inspired by agota kristoff's notebook trilogy which had themes like living a lie, shock over losing someone, a small town that changes over time, the military changing the town and people's ways of living, etc.

porky even keeps himself young in the form of robots and keeps his mom around in the form of robots which seems similar to me in how the notebook trilogy has claus' mom keep herself looking pretty each day with makeup after losing lucas so she would look the same for the day he "finally comes back."
and how in the notebook the twins kept the bones of their mother and her baby daughter in the attic.
they kept them around even after that died.
and there's even an instance of someone making omelets which on m3 is lucas' default favorite food.
fluffy omelets in jp.

but you're spot on about the overall themes of family and love, growing up, and trauma which is even shown profusely through giygas' m2 incarnation.
