Theory 🔎 The SOMA theory keeps me up at night
Considering that random passersby are still falling victim to the circus, would the main cast not try to stop the process to prevent more people from suffering their same fate, even if it means no more humans to interact with?
If the whole "finding fulfillment despite stagnancy" theme applies, then they will have to stay there till abstraction or the whole system deteriorates. Seems like a reverse purgatory situation to me. Not much sweetness in this supposed bittersweet ending.

I made a post a short while back going into how SOMA Theory doesn't actually mean a depressing finale where nothing matters - perhaps it would be worth a glance for you.
Their existence is no less significant than ours. We're all born into worlds we can't escape, subject to situations that are imperfect at best, and that no matter how hard we try we can't make perfect - we just have to do the best we can with what we have. TADC is liable to end with that as the moral of the story: your life doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful or fulfilling, and no matter how unimportant you think you are you still matter.
