#which. also is kind of oddly haunting when you remember what they've been through

i feel like we don't talk abt any of the tooltip quotes very often but out of all of one this one makes me particularly curious because it implies at least an assumption that some form of 'perma-death' is potentially possible within the constant. or maybe even that something might happen to ghosts who stay ghosts for too long? whatever 'lost' is meant to imply, it can't be talking about turning into a ghost, or they wouldn't be using the word 'nearly', since you can only use telltales as a ghost.

i mean, not like wilson has ever been known for knowing much about what hes talking about. especially when it doesn't pertain to science. but its less about what actually is and isnt possible and more about what they think is potentially possible thats of real interest here

#fav interpretation of this is that #the survivors were so used to the concept of people just. respawning in a completely different area after they died #that the first time they saw someone die post new reign they just. completely FREAKED out #and didn't learn until. much later on that no they're actually all stuck together whether they like it or not #i don't know. its almost kind of haunting the way he puts it. i think abt this quote a lot #'we almost lost one of our number today'... i think it's the avoidance of explicitly referring to death by name #which. also is kind of oddly haunting when you remember what they've been through #death is no stranger to any of them so why would they be afraid of it #unless‚ of course‚ theres more to fear from it now when you think you might actually have something to lose... like fwendship 🥺
