No, I get it. It was good, in a way, that they were able to glitch sometimes and come back to themselves but having to stay pixelated and continually flipping back and forth was jarring.
But it gives us an idea how corporeal they are and what we might be able to do to give their form back.
No! No, sorry, no not that. I've already lived through that, I'm not...[ shaking his head and also not elaborating on that. ] I just meant that things here might not be what they seem. ...think about the simulation room. We know it's all generated and isn't meant to be "real", but all of the injuries and stuff we get are, right? And the missions people go on are real, but some of the other storms people are getting pulled into are based on other people's memories somehow. Why?
...They only stick around sometimes. I didn't know that about people's memories, though. [ but now that shoma's mentioned it. hm. ] So, what, you're suggesting the whole thing is a simulation now?
Never mind, my state of mind when I was twelve is probably not important right now but we can talk about it later.
Yeah. The one we went through was based on Rodya and Gregor's memories. He told me about it, and Rodya's brought it up a few times, too. I don't know if I believe the whole thing is a simulation but I do think at least part of it is being obscured from us.
[ we do not need to talk about the cult right now. ]
We've got both sides working on it. If they're already seeing things that we aren't, that's a good start. I hate the idea that we just have to be patient, but...that might be what it comes down to.

Of course something's been hidden the whole time. It wouldn't be so messed up otherwise. We'll figure it out, though. Somehow.
