Not to mention Joan n Wes like...They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I feel bad for them but also they're just so callous about Morris. Then again it makes sense they're so detached, he's a threat in their eyes. Hell, is he even a person?
No matter how many times they've tried "the other way", it doesn't work. Game restarts, save files deleted, Morris forgets everything.
They make everything worse by treating Morris badly! He gets worked up over stress and when feeling threatened. But how nice can you be when you know he fucking ate your neighbor last week???
They know Morris has the capability to not just destroy them, but even other worlds. But, as long as THEY'RE safe, they'll upload him to the internet just to get him away.
But, their love for each other is real. They've been married for years and run their business together. They're partners in life. Joan could really be that sweet lady who calls folks "hon" and "pumpkin". Wes could be that jovial man who's your friend after the first few chats. They're just...Stuck and in danger. Making desperate decisions to save what little is left of their home.
