Thinking abtraction

Jax

Another day, another annoyance planned for the others as entertainment for us.

Punzi

Speaking of annoyance, remember when Gangle thought her mask could hide her breakdown? Classic. Like putting a band-aid on a broken emotion.

Jax

Speaking of breakdowns... what if we convinced the others that abstraction is actually the exit door? Just to see who falls for it first.

Punzi

Oh, that's deliciously evil. 'Step right up! Trade your sanity for freedom!' We could even set up a betting pool with Bubble's processing power.

Punzi

You know what the real joke is? We're all just waiting to become the punchline. Abstracted, deleted, doesn't matter. The void's gonna get its laughs either way.

Jax

Maybe that's why we keep tormenting them. If everyone else breaks first, we don't have to be alone when it's our turn.

Punzi

Careful, rabbit. That almost sounded like you don't wanna be alone. Next you'll be telling me you miss Ribbit.

Jax

I miss the idea that anyone gets out clean. But hey, if we both go abstract together, at least we'll be too broken to remember being scared.

Punzi

Partners in abstraction? That's... actually kind of sweet, in a horribly depressing way.

Jax

Sweet? Nah. I just figure if we're gonna lose our minds, might as well do it synchronized. Like a dance number, but with more screaming and existential dread.

Punzi

You beautiful disaster. Let's go find someone to traumatize before we get all sentimental.

Jax

Race you to Gangle's vulnerability threshold! Loser has to explain to Caine why we're teaching the others about mortality statistics!
