'Farewell Stanley,' cried the Narrator, as Stanley was led helplessly into the enormous metal jaws.
In a single, visceral instant Stanley was obliterated as the machine crushed every bone in his body, killing him instantly.

And yet, it would be just a few minutes before Stanley would restart the game, back in his office, as alive as ever.
What exactly did the Narrator think he was going to accomplish?

When every path you can walk has been created for you long in advance death becomes meaningless, making life the same.
Do you see now? Do you see that Stanley was already dead from the moment he hit start?



*laugh* Oh, look at these two. How they wish to destroy one another. How they wish to control one another. How they both wish to be free.
Can you see? Can you see how much they need one another?
No, perhaps not. Sometimes these things cannot be seen.


But listen to me, you can still save these two. You can stop the program before they both fail.
Push 'escape', and press 'quit'. There's no other way to beat this game.

As long as you move forward, you'll be walking someone else's path. Stop now, and it will be your only true choice.
Whatever you do, choose it! Don't let time choose for you! Don't let time -
