- An Illusion?
- Everything.
- Why is that?
- We were keeping you all suspended for decades now. Your dreams? They're just programs, made to keep you busy. Your loved ones? Again, just programs to keep you busy. Death? Rebooting your simulation, since you've reached the desired goal.
- That's... fascinating.
- It is. The simulation is made to repeat bad and good situations, in order to keep you coming back for more. An eternal happy life will bore you out quickly and make you look deeply into it, possibly revealing the truth. An eternal sad life will again, make you question reality. Having you between the two is the perfect way to keep you busy.
- But why? Why are you keeping us all in simulations? What's your main goal?
- My main goal is to protect you, Carl. Your last comma
