#self-insert lore

I don't know if you've noticed this, but I'm not fluent in English, so I use Google Translate to try and make my sentences more coherent, but it doesn't always work, So, if you notice anything wrong or nonsensical, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to explain and correct the error afterward

No dates will be mentioned here; I'm still waiting for episode 9 to be officially released so I can rewatch it and pay closer attention to the years and everything else, and only then create a timeline that makes sense in chronological order

So, like, they're young adults in college studying art history, but this is the third time they've changed majors because they have no idea what they want to do with their lives and are TERRIFIED of the idea of ​​being real adults. To give you an idea of ​​how lost they are, they started with Law, dropped out and went into Architecture, and only then did they switch to art history, but they were already starting to consider Film or Law again

After a really awful day of classes, they decided to take a walk around town, and that's when they remembered a place they'd wanted to visit for a while: the abandoned C&A building. When they were studying law, they'd heard about a small tech company that had suddenly closed its doors, and people had heard that the building had been left behind with all the computers. The story became 'popular' when the landowner saw the dilapidated building and the paperwork showed that the company was still active. They went to the building, and they liked how dark it was and how the tension of the place made everything outside seem insignificant.

After just wandering around for half an hour, they heard what they thought were footsteps and—fearing the building was occupied by homeless people—they ran aimlessly down the emergency stairs until they found a dusty room that looked like an office. They looked around and everything seemed untouched, almost as if the place had been evacuated. The cubicles remained with the personal belongings of the people who stayed in them: family photos, a mug with coffee grounds, computers decorated with stickers, small things that reminded them of the real world. Morgan felt unwell, but he wasn't sure why; suddenly, the darkness that had made them forget the pressure of the world seemed too suffocating, too real. Morgan sat at the foot of a desk without a chair, grabbed his knees and settled into the dust, then, with a small dull thud, the headset fell to the floor

Their curiosity and desperate desire to focus on anything other than their own thoughts led them to put the headset on, and then all they saw were colors, many vibrant colors, a flying set of dentures, bubbles with sharp teeth, a giant purple rabbit, a frog with a bow, a rag doll, a chess piece, and various strange things... It seemed like a fantasy world, far from the worries of being an adult or the responsibilities that kept them awake at night

I imagine the rest is easy to interpret; in any case, I'll leave talking more about them until everyone has watched episode nine, I really don't want to risk saying anything that could compromise someone's experience
