Listen to it now, build your own story. Pick through it, note the subtle style changes. Ask questions like "what happens on the instrumental tracks?" Build a head cannon. Make it so im not the only person thinking we were lied to in act 1 and "Buried in the Red" and "Redline" have secrets.

I also dont think we get an end to the fight. Just an introduction. In the same way that this retelling of Mega Man 1-3(ish) isn't the end of the story. (Thanks Mega Man 11)

But now, he is taking direct action, for once he isn't passive about this fight. This sets us up for the parallel fights of Thomas and Albert but also The City no longer weighed down by chains of Light vs the forces of The Night.

To answer your last question, martyrdom maybe, but this is also the first time Thomas is taking direct action. Everything he did was by proxy, Robots to be the work force, Joe, Blues, Rock. Thomas died before Fate, before Good Dr. P2, probably in between Emily and Joe.

All of your logic is sound, and I think you are right. I just hope that you aren't. I interpret some things differently than you, and if I was better with words I could explain my perspective. But thats also the best part of media like this. We can see the same picture but perceive different things.

I dont, however, think we are getting resolution. No matter how much Thomas's despair dragged him and those around him down, there was always an unkillable hope in those around. I hold that same hope that there is more still in Act 3.

There are so many questions left unanswered. I dont think we are going to get a pretty bow on the end of the story, but I do think the album is going to end with a conflict. The Fight references Thomas's passing, it fits as a subsequent track. And maybe we get Built to Last as a "credits" song.

C. Dip into reserve energy working and making sure I do for others so that I'm far too physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted to want anything, because how dare I want something.

Lower case b. Dual neurodivergent couple, AuDHD and ADHD. We plan together but utterly lack a good system and both secretly hope that it becomes option A
