Hi, so I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on why Xefros loves his balcony so much. Like, we know by now there is nothing random or insignificant in homestuck, so it HAS to signify something, right?

I was a bit confused because I haven’t yet seen all optional dialog of Hiveswap, and I was thinking on the few interactions you get when checking the door to the balcony. But nope, there’s quite a lot of interactions when you actually get out of the back door and look at the Gander Precipice high up above!

Sadly, there’s no symbolism here, but immediate foreshadowing, much like whenever something is called “Sweet, Dear, Precious”, Xefros contemplates how immutable, permanent and great his Balcony is, because it’s going to be destroyed right after checking the Software Box.

A little comedic jab at a predictable outcome.
