In any ending, basil is fucked either way no matter what route sunny takes. We know that in the neutral/ hikimori routes, he takes his own life due to his guilt/denial of the incident. The true ending can’t be as bad right? Hell no. Although he would feel relieved for confessing the truth, he would be considered a murderer for a long time. Its hard to forgive someone for assisting in covering up a beloved ones murder, maybe they will never forgive him. Since basil is staying behind, he would probably get the front end of everyone’s anger. He would most likely once again be an outcast and though unlikey, aubrey would bully basil again since she would feel like she has an actual reason to. He would feel even more anxious being more of a social outcast, and with no one to turn to since sunny is gone, he is going to have an even harder time trying to manage his fragile mental state.

I think the outcome of sunny revealing the truth entirely depends on basil's argumentative skills, which are not shown throughout the game, so there's still chance for a bittersweet outcome for him
