>In a way, he is to you what you must be to him, more an Idea, than a person.
What an interesting musing, especially to us "spirits". I'm sure Clive's wrong about what Franklin thinks of him, though.
...The world coming to an abrupt end and/or being closed off like that reminds me of a few different stories, although I can't recall at all the movie that comes to mind.
Still, using those as a reference, they would imply that Cattenom is either in Space, or is in its entirety, a Simulation of some sort. The latter doesn't really make sense to me, given that it would imply that the adults are not in fact, in control- many things would have already been observed, stopped, altered, or otherwise if that were the case. The former, on the other hand... well, in any case, I'd have loved to hear Jhonen's thoughts on it all.
That aside, what the hell's the point of money, taxes, loans, and all that nonsense in whatever this situation is? I feel like that's a thought that'll hit 'Bec, too. On surface level, it seems like just a way to fake the normalcy of "before". Or maybe it's just as simple as repeating that one mantra or whatever you'd like to call it; "Nothing Changes in Cattenom".

...I've brought it up before, but Enid really is a foil to Rodney here- especially when considering Clive's thought;
>You can be the demon, if it means Rodney gets to be the angel.
Enid was Shielded for as long as possible given the circumstances of Cattenom, and ultimately, it didn't end well for Frederick. Why would it for Clive?
Continuing the Lie, ultimately, would not only render Rodney's actions meaningless, but also likely end Very Badly for Clive. The definition of Losing Him, as it were.
