I think that sums up the show so far to a T. Very nice fic.

Thank you!

[quirkysmuse]

Thanks! I love how creepy the show essentially is. There's so much emotion you can tap into.

The whole "treatment" concept really fascinated me, how they program that into the personalities. I'm glad you touched on it.

[quirkysmuse]

Thanks! I find it interesting too, like the Actives are programmed to know it's necessary and nothing bad comes from it. I can't wait to see them delve more into the concept.

Thanks again for reading!

Rather chilling, isn't it, this way they have of taking so much hope and joy and making it not just moot, but never mourned?

You've captured the tone of the show quite well. It's creepy and dysfunctionally wistful in a way and you've crawled inside that world to shed some insight on the inner workings that make it so.

Nice job!

Thanks for writing for the challenge!

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. The creepiness is something I really like about the show.

Very haunting, and heartbreaking.

there’s nothing in the outside world she could possibly love or fear.

Such a reminder that true joy only exists in a world with pain, and vice-versa.

Great work!

Thanks! I appreciate it!
