Why the parallels between Jane and...

…Jade?

(A5A2, A6A2)

(A3, A6A1, both characters speaking to their grandfather’s corpse)

(A3, A6A1)

(A4, A6A3; characters witness the total apocalypse of the Incipisphere)

…John?

(A5A2, A6A5[A1]. In both cases, the act begins with a flash featuring character [Karkat/Jake] isolated with a computer and unhelpful trolls, so the character decides to send a message to someone in a red headset [John/Jane]. Karkat’s message is designed to spark an emotional reaction [that does not come], ends up being a romantic gesture. Jake’s message is not designed to spark an emotional reaction [but one comes anyway], ends up being a gesture about romance.)

(A6I5, A6A3, both characters are seeing reunions out of nowhere)

(A1, A6A5[A1], both characters say goodbye to their childhood fixations, the future is uncertain)
