So, I've had this theory or something about the amazing digital circus since the pilot and I've seen literally NO ONE talk about it.
I might just be a bit crazy, I don't think that'll end this way, but I've been thinking this gor so long.
They can't escape because their human bodies are too decomposed to live in.
I think they were alive and fine when they all put on the headset, but the longer they used it (Days) their bodies had to have passed for dehydration or something.
Like at first, it's just an unremovable headset, but the longer their in the circus, their conscious becomes part of it, in a way? Part of their character.
I can see this going two ways.
1. They escape and the next thing you realize is that they're dead
2. They realize they can't escape and they all continue to live in the circus
I know this probably won't happen but this hasn't left my main since the pilot.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO HEAR MY OTHER THEORIES!!! ļ¼¼(^-^)ļ¼
