"In the ground, his body will bloom with real life, devoured by organic things that were born minuscule and invisible and with no purpose except to live until they stop." WHAT. Oh my god, this was so fascinating, I am in love with the worldbuilding you gave us here. The amount of angles that you tied in that I hadn't considered, whether he'll die or not. Having to face his mortality. This was so so interesting and welldone, I love this angle and how you handled it. Crying on stage, his fans swooning over his death in the film, having to handle death the same way everyone else does while still being considered artificial, living a half-life. The choice to use the vegetarian example right from the beginning to flag that something was wrong is so good. I really really loved this!! You must have put so much thought behind it and I'm in love with the depth you gave it! Poor guy. Josh ;; Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
