Iāve think Iāve figured it out
I think I know what MDR is doing and what lumon is doing and where this story is going to go
Itās Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice dies and goes to hell, Orpheus descends down there and gets the chance to bring her back, but loses her forever because he turns round to look at her.
If mark is Orpheus, and Gemma is Euridyce, and the severed floor is hell, that means that by going down there as a severed employee Mark got a chance to bring Gemma back, but heās going to lose it by looking back to find her. By reintegrating.
Gemma died. Like actually died. She wasnāt brain dead and intercepted by lumon. She died, mark identified the body. Somewhere between that and the cremation lumon took her.
Lumon is trying to raise the dead, presumably to bring back Kier (whoās body im sure is being preserved in some horrid cult place of worship somewhere in the depths of lumon) and has been pretty successful so far. At getting the body back. The mind is trickier, and thatās what MDR is doing. Theyāre tidying up brain waves, trying to bring a persons memory and conciousness back.
Thatās why the files expire. The person gets too dead, their brain gets too damaged, and thereās no point trying anymore.
Gemma has been the most successful so far. Sheās not just physically alive, but her brain is functioning too. Her position as wellness counsellor was an experiment to see how she interacts with other people, to see how well her consciousness is recovering
Coldharbour is her last file. When itās done, sheāll be completely back and lumon will have successfully brought a dead person fully back to life, a major milestone for them. If it expires, sheāll be gone forever
Mark reintegrated. Heās going to be suspicious of lumon, suspicious of the work, and so caught up in looking for Gemma he wonāt finish cold harbour
He looked back. So heās going to lose her forever
