Hey chat do you think there was a funeral for Taylor at home?
I know they wanted a memorial plaque. I wonder if an empty tombstone will suffice. Maybe Tom keeps staring through the window waiting for them to come home. Or maybe not. Rescue animals tend to not do well with abandonment.
There was no body to mourn over. None to burn and make into ashes. Maybe it's better that way, because then they don't have to see what happened to their baby in their last moments right? I doubt space would give you a pretty corpse after, well that depends how much time it has been, does 6 months feel good for you? Anything above 2 weeks begs a closet casket.
They're not dead. But Taylor did die. When there is two of you a conflip is made. In this case? There were two. Both could have been heads, and depending on your choices, two tails even. But in narritives like these, where there is only space for one lead, there will be a coinflip.
T2 lost the coinflip. And their family will be grieving a lost body. Taylor's might or might not be grieving them. Everyone is someone's child after all. Who griefs for Halliday? No one, we don't care about people we don't know. And that's normal.
I wonder what those last moments were like. I wish we could stay with them. That there was an ending where we stay with T2 for a bit longer, knowing Tay got out.
I know they're gone before that, or maybe they aren't and I just cannot remember because I don't even want to look at my results on that game anymore. I know in BA they cut the connection and Taylor escapes, and we stay with Taylor despite T2 stay behind.
It doesn't feel right to leave T2 alone in their final moments. To die alone. To fade away only with Helpbot as company. This game no longer exists.
What a thing it is. Proper burial. Something that comes from human practices so ancient we didn't even have writhing yet, even in the far future of 2015, it was important enough for Taylor to consider. T2 didn't get that kind of luxury.
