@riverspeak replied to your text post: Am I missing something because I’m pretty sure they already established that they all die.. Like the very first scene this season? Am I misunderstanding it?
Looking at it, I would say not necessarily. The subway HQ is trashed and destroyed and Root is narrating via what sounds like a recording. She says if “you’re” hearing this “you’re alone.” She has no idea if herself or the others might be alive. She doesn’t know if they’ve won or what victory would even constitute at this point.
We don’t know whom she’s speaking to. Possibly The Machine. Possibly an ally.
But if it’s a recording she made in advance of a “just in case”/“worst case” scenario, it doesn’t mean she’s dead. Unless she’s narrating from beyond the grave.
I’m not even sure Root would even believe in a spiritual afterlife in which she could accomplish that. XD A digital afterlife?
Well. Ghosts in the machines would be interesting.
