the difference between the spiral and the stranger’s brand of Lies and Deception is so compelling to me

because the spiral is like if someone comes up to you and says that one plus one is three. and you know it’s objectively not. but this person keeps insisting it is. and maybe they can do some sleight-of-hand magic where they can ‘prove’ it’s three. but you know it shouldn’t be. you’re still positive it’s Two, you just can’t prove it.

the stranger, however, is like if someone reached into your mind and ate the concept of Two.

and it’ll never come and ask you what’s one plus one. but it’ll inevitably come up one day. and you won’t be able to answer.
