Hindsight is 20-20, as they say...? I think that probably applies here.

Would that this were a dream, but I think it's been a realistic-enough one that it'll stick with us a while even if we did wake up.

[ This horror movie-themed reality show has not been human rights nor OSHA-compliant. ]

Yeah, and with so much that's happened I think it'd be hard to forget all of it. [ ... ] Actually, you know what, I guess I also had that one day that lasted two months. Maybe that's part of why time feels so insane.

[ that was already kind of like a way-too-realistic dream. ]

Right, your venture. I couldn't fathom tacking on that kind of extension so early on.

[ MAYBE IF IT WAS LATER IN THE GAME IT'D BE SORT OF A BREAK BUT SO EARLY... ]

That does feel like forever ago, doesn't it? When we still had these numbers regularly without us appearing as... ghosts, more or less.

[ it fucked poor pickles up so bad... ]

Right? This was such a huge group at the start! Remember all of us crammed in the cabin that first Thursday? And now the total number of people alive across the whole village is only like, what, four more than that?

[ and the final number will be less than half that!!! ]

I do. I recall us trying to step over Karlach and all.

[ Christ. That really feels like such forever ago. ]

...Well, we're out... here, if that helps any. The old adage, "not all is lost", or something.
