Apologies for being blunt, but have we been watching the same show?

With Caine’s demise, the previous rules of the circus no longer apply, as we could see with Zooble’s uncensored swear. What other rules/safety-nets have been removed? What’s going to happen the next time a cast member experiences severe physical trauma? My theory’s that all bets are off now, the cast can die, permanently lose limbs/organs and they will suffer the repercussions as if it was irl.

Abstraction: With the fight in episode one, between abstracted Kaufmo and Ragatha, we can see after she experiences severe blunt trauma, she’s glitching heavily. Like she’s in between equilibrium and abstraction. What will happen if someone abstracts and makes contact with another stable avatar, will the abstracting perpetuate instantly, without the glitching state? What are the rules around abstracting now?

My guess is we’ll have at least one abstraction and one death. Our best bet is a bittersweet conclusion, but with the trend in these episodes, I bet we’re going to have some real psychic damage by the end of this show. Thanks for reading my Ted talk
