03:23.073 --> 03:23.614 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. 03:25.197 --> 03:28.381 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you've asked the right questions, darling. 03:29.582 --> 03:33.326 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we're still experimenting with the story. 03:33.947 --> 03:42.917 [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I mean, what you're saying, if I can understand these things correctly, and the hardest thing I'm going to tell you is quite for tourists, and quite ingenious in fact. 03:43.258 --> 03:46.902 [SPEAKER_01]: But the thing of the tears, it's not getting weaker. 03:47.422 --> 03:48.163 [SPEAKER_02]: No, it is! 03:48.283 --> 03:48.603 [SPEAKER_02]: It is! 03:48.684 --> 03:54.010 [SPEAKER_02]: It's getting smaller, weaker, um, it's easier to contain, easier to control. 03:54.190 --> 03:55.271 [SPEAKER_01]: Those are not all the same things. 03:55.311 --> 03:56.593 [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, they are all very different. 03:56.713 --> 04:00.478 [SPEAKER_01]: And what you are seeing is something getting weaker is not to in fact, it's getting weaker. 04:00.498 --> 04:04.102 [SPEAKER_01]: It's that it is getting less and less and less of the entity. 04:05.964 --> 04:07.106 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, okay. 04:07.766 --> 04:08.387 [SPEAKER_01]: You see the difference? 04:08.908 --> 04:16.737 [SPEAKER_01]: Weaker implies a loss of power, which I suppose is true, but really the more important thing is that it is becoming less itself and more human. 04:17.510 --> 04:17.951 [SPEAKER_01]: Human. 04:18.651 --> 04:19.092 [SPEAKER_01]: What do you mean? 04:19.152 --> 04:20.734 [SPEAKER_01]: The entity was a human. 04:21.615 --> 04:24.339 [SPEAKER_01]: It's still a human in some senses. 04:24.359 --> 04:26.702 [SPEAKER_02]: What do you mean it's still of... 04:26.722 --> 04:28.564 [SPEAKER_02]: The entity is human? 04:29.005 --> 04:29.665 [SPEAKER_02]: The time agents. 04:31.167 --> 04:32.149 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I... 04:32.169 --> 04:32.829 [SPEAKER_02]: I had a thought. 04:32.850 --> 04:35.192 [SPEAKER_02]: I... Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot. 04:35.213 --> 04:42.442 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought maybe that the... that the entity could be an agent, a corrupted agent, something went wrong with the agency. 04:43.623 --> 04:44.284 [SPEAKER_01]: Something went wrong? 04:44.705 --> 04:45.846 [SPEAKER_01]: Something went right? 04:45.961 --> 04:51.526 [SPEAKER_02]: Trust me, nothing is going right with the energy to tell you that for sure. 04:51.886 --> 04:54.088 [SPEAKER_01]: It is very important that you widen your mind. 04:54.729 --> 04:56.110 [SPEAKER_01]: Something may be going wrong for you. 04:56.670 --> 04:58.332 [SPEAKER_01]: Something may be going right for others. 04:59.413 --> 05:01.154 [SPEAKER_01]: The bads of field is much wider than you think. 05:01.895 --> 05:02.676 [SPEAKER_01]: See the whole board. 05:03.597 --> 05:05.078 [SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, you'll never capture this thing. 05:05.939 --> 05:07.760 [SPEAKER_01]: But... 05:07.780 --> 05:10.583 [SPEAKER_02]: So, you think it's becoming more human? 05:11.343 --> 05:11.784 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think. 05:12.905 --> 05:15.327 [SPEAKER_02]: What? 05:16.049 --> 05:17.231 [SPEAKER_02]: I, huh? 05:17.251 --> 05:20.877 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, anyway, um, it-wee, is that in a warm corner? 05:21.598 --> 05:22.760 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, the type. 05:23.381 --> 05:23.741 [SPEAKER_01]: Silly bee. 05:24.262 --> 05:25.584 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I just think of you with a few things. 05:25.744 --> 05:26.986 [SPEAKER_01]: Before this reality collapses. 05:27.307 --> 05:33.056 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so- If you don't mind, uh, please be sure before you leave, uh, finish up your hard chocolate and finish the rest of mine. 05:33.176 --> 05:33.757 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow. 05:33.837 --> 05:34.619 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, uh, thank you. 05:34.759 --> 05:35.099 [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you. 05:35.400 --> 05:39.306 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, because if you don't finish the hard chocolate then you won't give the coin back. 05:40.349 --> 05:43.773 [SPEAKER_02]: Wow, wow, it did, no, I'm sorry, no, I got distracted. 05:44.093 --> 05:45.374 [SPEAKER_02]: No, but I have more questions. 05:45.815 --> 05:47.056 [SPEAKER_02]: And I have more answers. 05:49.198 --> 05:50.179 [SPEAKER_02]: Man, he's weird. 05:54.464 --> 05:57.147 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, but Goddamn is this hot chocolate amazing. 06:03.694 --> 06:09.580 [SPEAKER_00]: The preceding audio recordings were recovered, assembled, and edited for your enjoyment by many cited media. 06:10.066 --> 06:14.878 [SPEAKER_00]: to support these efforts, head to patreon.com slash many-sided media.
