“I Can Fix It”

our fav lil guy deserves a boogie down

Everyone knows the trope of the Madwoman in the Attic. That the thing to do with an incurably mentally ill person is to lock them away where they can stop being so noisy and distracting and disturbing. Anyone who has been institutionalized or even been mentally ill enough that the institution was a possibility has dealt with the specter of the Madwoman: the idea that one day, people will decide they're done feeling sorry for you, so they're gonna get rid of you and don't care how badly you get hurt as long as it's quiet. Caine used the cellar as the Attic. He didn't care about helping the Abstracted at all, the fact that the dark helps calm them is a happy coincidence. He just needed them gone. They're too loud, too disruptive, so just tidy them away and forget. Out of sight, out of mind. Quiet.

The Abstracted are loud and flashy and violent. There is no reason to believe they can be cured. They are dangerous to help, and there's very little the Players can do to help anyway. But instead of just cutting their losses and locking them away, the Players went out of their way to do what little they could. Zooble sacrificed their whole stash of arms to take Jax somewhere safer. They built homes that would ease their pain, experimented to find what environment would be best for them and their unique needs. They still go to visit them, even if it might be personally painful. Just on the off chance that the Abstracted might find comfort in their presence.
