In My Amazing Digital Playground, Abstraction is a much more voluntary experience. Like in TADC, abstraction is a buildup of stress and anxiety and mental issues. Everything piles up until you cannot take it anymore and there is only one way forward.

Unlike TADC, however, you have to give in to abstraction. You have to give up, maybe even want to abstract. To believe anything, even ceasing to exist, is better than this anguish.

Trying to still follow along with the main story beats of the original series, I think it makes things much more upsetting. In Jazz's (Jax) case, his abstraction will be giving up. There will be no "I don't want to go." There will be regret, pain, apologies that will never be able to be told, and the unshakeable feeling that he will never be able to make up for everything he has done.

And then, there will be nothing. No Jazz, none of the guilt. Just the memory. Pomme and the rest of the players will have to deal with the fact that Jazz couldn't take it and instead chose to abstract, and that's whatever they make of it.

Also, instead of "Isn't she lovely", the song I would use for the end of MADP would be "Please, Please, Please, Let me get what I want" by The Smiths.
