[WP] "Yes, this wolrd is an illusion. But before you try to wake up, have you considered that maybe you wanted to be here? That maybe this is a kindness? Let's talk. And if you still want to return to the real world afterwards, I won't stop you. But I promise you that you won't"

[WP] You're a selfaware sitcom character. It's been running for years, and you're so sick of the shenanigans, and the forced misunderstandings, and the wacky schemes. You need to escape before you snap and do something that will really mess up this show's age rating.

[WP] After millennia, Prometheus has broken free from his chains! He runs to return fire to humanity, sure Zeus will have taken it back. Of course, he didn't and we have fire to spare, but that won't stop him banging two rocks together and expecting us to be impressed.
