RE: Chapter 15: Deep Dive Protocol and the White Room 第十五章:深潜协议与纯白密室

It’s true, people are very predictable. And that applies to everyone, of course, when you study them – apart from the odd individual who is creative enough to suddenly do something other than what was predicted. This episode is gripping, and the question of how the two colleagues – or partners – could be a couple has been pushed somewhat into the background, but it’s still on my mind. The big egos do indeed play a significant role once again – something that can also lead to one’s own downfall when one is too convinced of one’s own abilities. The Suit comes across a bit like a crybaby who can’t handle losing. Once again, a fine example of using pain and ordinary life on the streets – or rather, survival – as a means of escape. It’s also a lovely description to refer to it as the sewer (the gutter).

In a way it sounds as if you believe that even if there is the tiniest sign of a human (humanity) there's hope. In this case only because they partners (partners during a non existing time).

I guess, it is all in his head, just like the voice (which is the worst) ... And now a black void instead of an eye. Glasses are needed, or some protection before someone jumps inside.

Thank you for another incredibly deep dive into the chapter! You always catch the core themes perfectly. 🧠

Haha, I love your description of 'The Suit' as a crybaby! Huge egos in a cyberpunk world usually lead to a very hard and ugly fall. 🏢💥

I'm glad the mystery of their partnership is still lingering in your mind. As we talked about earlier, that missing puzzle piece is coming soon to satisfy that curiosity!

Your insight about clinging to the tiniest sign of humanity is exactly the soul of this story. And you are absolutely right about the 'black void' where the eye used to be. An open optic port in this world is basically an open door for anyone—or anything—to jump right into his head. He definitely needs some heavy ICE (security) fast! 👁️🔌

Thank you for reading with such a sharp mind!
