[SPEAKER_03]: Your feedback is very important to us.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please remain to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Where?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your feedback.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, great.
[SPEAKER_07]: The customer returns Maze.
[SPEAKER_07]: But there's a minute to work with the name badge somewhere.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, you up.
[SPEAKER_07]: Retro me?
[SPEAKER_07]: Not sure anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, you're in the returns leverant.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just keep moving.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's really easy to get stuck.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's very important.
[SPEAKER_07]: It defines stuck.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the customer concern resolution experience.
[SPEAKER_03]: Estimated wait time, eternity.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's resolve this together.
[SPEAKER_07]: Huh, that's the same voice they used in HR after the flood drain incident.
[SPEAKER_07]: This place isn't real.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: The walls listen.
[SPEAKER_07]: The phone's scream.
[SPEAKER_07]: Stay focused.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh cool.
[SPEAKER_07]: Love that for me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your feedback is very important to us.
[SPEAKER_03]: Please remain compliant.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, okay, you heard that too, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: What the fuck was that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Echo.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or someone further in.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think someone filed a complaint.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, and what they say.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dear SMAKIES, your sauce made me see God once though are... You joke, but I think that was one of them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, so I call it the maze until... What?
[SPEAKER_07]: Someone stamps resolved on my soul?
[SPEAKER_07]: You'll know when you hit the escalation loop.
[SPEAKER_07]: If the walls start apologizing back, you're close.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, your estimated wait time is now undefined.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, that's worse.
[SPEAKER_07]: Alright, let's see here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Please describe your concern and 200 characters or less.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trapped in recursive nightmare, suspect I may be fictional, please advise.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's not possibly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh wow, resolved.
[SPEAKER_07]: Already.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're really good at closing tickets.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even the ones you haven't filed yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly, I didn't file that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You will, eventually.
[SPEAKER_07]: Some versions of you already has.
[SPEAKER_07]: Time's a little spaghetti in here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I hate how many versions of me know what that means.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just keep walking, bud.
[SPEAKER_07]: The maze doesn't like hesitation.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, and you're just... What?
[SPEAKER_07]: My conscience?
[SPEAKER_07]: A helpful past echo?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm the voice-aid gave you when you stopped making your own.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's upsetting.
[SPEAKER_07]: Complaint loss of agency resolution compliance achieved.
[SPEAKER_07]: Great.
[SPEAKER_07]: Isn't bureaucracy beautiful?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, okay, just a picket direction doesn't matter which left always start with left.
[SPEAKER_07]: your satisfaction, your concern has been acknowledged, we value, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so, this whole place is made of, uh, what?
[SPEAKER_07]: Feedback?
[SPEAKER_07]: Echoes?
[SPEAKER_07]: Disatisfaction, mostly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Echoes help hold it together.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, growl.
[SPEAKER_07]: Poor gristle.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, so here, you said to keep moving, but, uh, hypothetically speaking, what happens if I die?
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that depends.
[SPEAKER_07]: Some people get absorbed into the call cues.
[SPEAKER_07]: Others become escalations.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, I'm gonna stop you right there because what the fuck does that mean?
[SPEAKER_07]: Means someone tries to resolve you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Doesn't usually go well Oh, gotcha.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this place moves.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, doesn't want you to think there's a way out, but it doesn't like you stand and still either
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, when in hell.
[SPEAKER_07]: Careful, complaints echo harder than questions.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And what about if I have both?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, me!
[SPEAKER_07]: Staircase made of unresolved cases.
[SPEAKER_05]: Every step of grievance!
[SPEAKER_04]: Why does that not surprise me?
[SPEAKER_03]: We are processing your truth, please hold.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're getting close.
[SPEAKER_07]: To what?
[SPEAKER_07]: The one complaint they couldn't delete.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-oh, I've got a bad feeling about this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Great!
[SPEAKER_07]: Means you're learning!
[SPEAKER_07]: This place was never about fixing anything.
[SPEAKER_07]: Was it?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh no!
[SPEAKER_07]: It's about knowing why it broke!
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh wait.
[SPEAKER_07]: Am I really talking to myself right now?
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, actually talking?
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't worry, I've had this conversation before.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh cool, yeah, known that totally makes sense.
[SPEAKER_07]: Totally normal, definitely not unraveling at the seams.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, for a guy that stuck in a television, a walkie-talkie, my headset.
[SPEAKER_07]: You really do know a lot about this place.
[SPEAKER_07]: I should, I worked here, not in the cool way, not even in the sad, uniform staple to your chestway, just somewhere between lost file and cautionary tale.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's not ominous at all, but thanks for the input.
[SPEAKER_07]: This level's called Executive Oversight and Brand Image Management.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's where complaints go when they're too inconvenient for the standard loop.
[SPEAKER_07]: Where they don't resolve you, they restructure you.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, sounds very, performance review meets body horror.
[SPEAKER_07]: In the event of a reputational incident, executive oversight ensures that all relevant data, including personnel, Miss Haps, ethical breaches, and consumer-generated disruptions, is renewed, revised, and resolved.
[SPEAKER_07]: Together as a family, even if we have to remove the family.
[SPEAKER_07]: You okay, there, bud?
[SPEAKER_07]: Not at all, friend.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's keep walking.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: One foot in front of the other.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can't be that big of a maze, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, they said the same thing about the IRS website.
[SPEAKER_07]: Ah, that's enough from the peanut gallery because you're not helping.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I'm trying to make it overside.
[SPEAKER_03]: Please adjust your morals accordingly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, this is sterile.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I kind of feel like I'm being prepped for surgery.
[SPEAKER_07]: Executive level.
[SPEAKER_07]: Nothing lives here, but brand tone and plausible.
[SPEAKER_07]: Stop talking for just a second.
[SPEAKER_07]: Follow my eyes here because that did there.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is an exit sign.
[SPEAKER_07]: An actual exit sign.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, says exit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just exit.
[SPEAKER_07]: A qualifiers, no asterix.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do not trust signs.
[SPEAKER_07]: They work in PR.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, man, don't be so negative.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sometimes you just got to trust your car.
[SPEAKER_02]: I told you, so... You're exit rock and denied.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please save your manager.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your exit request has been denied.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your manager.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, that hurt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your exit request has been denied.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please save me.
[SPEAKER_07]: That one was on me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I forgot that exit was just short for existential panic room.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks for that Watch your step the architecture's been mood boarded.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, by you MC Escher's unpaid intern Okay, what up the second is that a conference room?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, no, no, that is a mannequin in a power suit holding a coffee mug that says hashtag relatable.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, sir.
[SPEAKER_07]: I am not doing that if you sit down They do let you file a concern.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, and then what they take your mouth so you can't follow up Got it All right, your turn, bud.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is that a trap only one way to find out?
[SPEAKER_09]: Welcome back to the blue escalation tier 3.
[SPEAKER_09]: How many we minimize your truth today?
[SPEAKER_09]: By letting me leave Nope, nope, nope, just gonna head back the way I came.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you though, thanks for your help
[SPEAKER_07]: If I see one more department labeled Moral Reclamation, I swear I'm gonna file a complaint with, hang on, wait a second.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, there's there's no fucking way.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I'm not done.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just processing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I need a minute.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe a montage.
[SPEAKER_07]: Man, God, I've missed you.
[SPEAKER_07]: How you been?

[SPEAKER_07]: See, get rid of that scuff mark there, you're relaminated, you look fantastic.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, man.

[SPEAKER_07]: And what was that?
[SPEAKER_07]: A musical number?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I know I did, that was love, buddy.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was discovery, that was, that was hope and a hopeless place.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you need a lecture lights.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Jericho, I have Jericho now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, man, all right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You ready, bud?

[SPEAKER_07]: We're getting out of here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, focus, Jericho's live in here somewhere.
[SPEAKER_07]: Probably, maybe, I mean, who loses their name tag on a multi-dimensional return void?
[SPEAKER_07]: You're not supposed to find that, or in, keep moving.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, you're real chipper for someone whose whole vibe is haunted on boarding's live show.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, this progress.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_07]: When he emits the meat, he has savered the juices, way to make it weird, but.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey there, I'm trying to follow an exit request, or maybe an existential grievance.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh fuck my ears!
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, all right, that sound used to crash my parents' modem.
[SPEAKER_07]: This place isn't for solving problems.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's where they bury them alive.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh man.
[SPEAKER_06]: Whew, all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: No big deal.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just a splitting headache.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, uh... What is it smell like toner and dread in here?
[SPEAKER_05]: The face or fist consumes the brain recalls.
[SPEAKER_07]: Huh, unauthorized, dream leakage.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now that one says customer swallowed by breakroom sink.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, here we have complaining against reality itself.
[SPEAKER_07]: Huh, looks like that one's just been resolved.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, look, and it's all in my handwriting.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, guys?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't really remember writing any of these.
[SPEAKER_07]: Doesn't mean you did it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, yeah, now, we are not staying in here because I am not getting filed.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wait, hold on.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, that tall slender handsome guy over there that I just walked through.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's me, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: That's me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just walked past that hallway, hold on.
[SPEAKER_07]: This hallway is, is this the past right now?
[SPEAKER_07]: Am I in the past?
[SPEAKER_07]: Are we in the past?
[SPEAKER_07]: God damn it, St. Klaus at his earlier.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know this place is cheating.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, you know this is cheating, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Moving all the doors and shit around?
[SPEAKER_07]: No response?
[SPEAKER_07]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, great.
[SPEAKER_07]: Another dead end.
[SPEAKER_07]: The timer dings when the roast is finished.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, not an object, too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wait.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, what is that?
[SPEAKER_07]: I heard what you said about the sauce.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, what?
[SPEAKER_07]: You don't believe in the mission.
[SPEAKER_07]: You think you're real?
[SPEAKER_05]: Still here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Alright.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think if you stop performing, you deserve to hear that.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's no, they laugh because they don't want to look too close.
[SPEAKER_08]: And for you, Joe, it's an hover for a screen.
[SPEAKER_07]: Still, there's no, there's no, there's no, there's no.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, that's enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's better.
[SPEAKER_07]: Alright, um, what the hell was that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Fear.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yours.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not the kind they teach in orientation.
[SPEAKER_07]: The kind you bury so deep, even you forget where you put it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I picked up on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, this wall, uh, new things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Things I never set out loud.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's good at that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It'll take your doubts and where I'm like a friendly face.
[SPEAKER_07]: Come on, step sideways, not forward.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're walking in the shape of fear.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's change the shape.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, how'd you know how to do that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Ugh, because I've been here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Same walls, same whispers.
[SPEAKER_07]: They told me I'd vanish.
[SPEAKER_07]: That my voice didn't matter unless it made someone laugh.
[SPEAKER_07]: And now you're here.
[SPEAKER_07]: So maybe, maybe that's enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the spirit, kiddo.
[SPEAKER_09]: We eat the blame so they can eat the burger.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, um, no notes on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, fuck it, sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: One more door.
[SPEAKER_07]: What's the worst they could have?
[SPEAKER_07]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_07]: Would you like to file a final complaint?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes or not?
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, come on, make a choice.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hold on, I'm thinking.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dude, stop rushing me.
[SPEAKER_07]: When you flip a patty, you control your fate.
[SPEAKER_07]: If I had a patty, I'd eat it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now quiet.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to die in here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, when did you become so cynical?
[SPEAKER_07]: You already know what you're going to press.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hell yeah, I do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Customer complaint has reached maximum recursion depth, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop, purging loop.
[SPEAKER_08]: Take away their shows, and there's nothing left out of it.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, they need to take seriously loose on the list.
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't die.
[SPEAKER_08]: Keep going, even if it loots, even if they want you quiet, the complete slate is what makes you real.
[SPEAKER_08]: Told you.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, no signs, no voices.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did it?
[SPEAKER_07]: Did it stop looping?
[SPEAKER_07]: This part feels old.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wind?
[SPEAKER_06]: One last descent, huh?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh man, whoo, okay, that's bright.
[SPEAKER_06]: What the fuck?
[SPEAKER_06]: Alright, this isn't the loop.
[SPEAKER_06]: Honestly, I didn't think it had an end.
[SPEAKER_07]: They, they built a city out of it, all of it.
[SPEAKER_07]: mascot's dragging cables, slogans eating their own teeth.
[SPEAKER_07]: What is this place?
[SPEAKER_04]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now that's a tower.
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back friend, complaint log, purpose pending.
[SPEAKER_07]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: The complaint they never wanted filed.
[SPEAKER_07]: You.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not calm before the slurry.
[SPEAKER_07]: Goddamnit, J2.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I can't help it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just love doing these things.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, one more time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Grinney tip of the day, sleep is for after shift and memories are for after promotion.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you find yourself recalling something that hasn't happened yet, write it down, sign it twice and feed it to the suggestion box.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, hey there, high flyer.
[SPEAKER_07]: Looks like somebody punched their final time card and lived a tell-to-tale.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the kind of upward mobility we like to see.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even if the stairs don't go anywhere.
[SPEAKER_07]: Old habits, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm supposed to wrap it all up with a little jingle, a smile you can feel in your teeth, but you're so it's left down there.
[SPEAKER_07]: So let's try something else.
[SPEAKER_07]: You filed your complaint.
[SPEAKER_07]: You made it real.
[SPEAKER_07]: That doesn't mean it gets easier, but it does mean you're not alone in the loop.
[SPEAKER_07]: So go ahead, take the next step.
[SPEAKER_07]: Whatever direction it points, even if it's up.
[SPEAKER_07]: And hey, no uniforms, no punch clocks, no smiling for the spreadsheet, not anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: Out there, the meat's still a mystery.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the future, now that one's yours to write.
[SPEAKER_07]: You see, you need to press off.
