   Summary

   In a world where you carry your soulmates scars, the Narrator wishes he never had to hurt again.
   That he could hide away, never to interact with another person again, and be safe.
   Keep his soulmate safe. From what? Himself?
   But maybe, maybe he just wished to be selfish. Just a little bit.

   Summary

   The man froze, dropping the bucket onto the sand.

   Then, he let his knees hit the ground, and he pressed the button again, and again, and again. He did it until his vision blurred.

   “Stanley—”

   During Stanley’s first time experiencing the Epilogue, he brings both his bucket and his button back with him into the next reset. The Narrator eventually notices Stanley carrying the new button around. The employee doesn’t know how to admit that he feels sentiment over it.

   Summary

   They were backed into a corner, Stanley literally, The Narrator figuratively. Stanley needed someone there to reassure him that wasn't an inanimate object, and The Narrator had a plan. He needed to offer some kind of companionship that Stanley could connect to, someone to touch and hold!

   ----

   Narrator accidentally traps himself in a human form and is forced to live in the empty office with stanley, with no way to truly progress the story
