![]() I want to feel the truth and be possessed by it, instead of possessing it. ![]() In much the same way, I’ve grown tired of this cycle turning within me, I’m tired of this hologram we call the universe, I’ve grown bored of this flat circle we call time. It’s a cycle of seeking, knowing, feeling, and remaining unchanged, and he has grown tired of it. I think that’s why we see such a strong response at the end of the episode where we find Rick bringing to life an inanimate creature, showing it affection, and then destroying it, turning it to ash, before coming deliriously close to adding himself to the pile.
