i have several fairly incoherent thoughts about Lucid Dream, but will play the last chapter tonight and maybe do a sum up - but I am here to ask before i forget:
as far as we know, Caleb does not have any memories of any past or future selves, right? but that little piece in the middle of chapter seven about the world being "mid-explosion" kind of blew my little candy mind. that is such a nihilistic thing to say when technically he's not even remembering the *present*. that "if not now, then perhaps later" that simply came out of nowhere.
in the Fallen Cosmos trailer, it does look like they suicide pact. are Caleb's reincarnations then always on a doomed track of self immolation? never to get the happy ending, always too much arranged against them because they are too powerful to be left in obscurity. always to be used, always to be sacrificed, their only happiness when they seize it for themselves in those last, bright moments?
/sadness!
PS:
- various clothing gets flung off as she literally tries to peel him open.
Oh man I need to find it again, someone used illusio on this kindled so that when she takes off his jacket he's actually bare chested in his winder soldier form. Peak cinema.
Yas, queen, please!
