It's not as improbable as you think~ If you listen to Sir Cave Johnson, you will learn that the conversion gel is made from ground-up moon rocks, which what also caused his death...
YEah i was like : wait ..... are you serious ? if its not what i have to do, i will get killed ! * breathes deep * o my it work... SHIT NO GLADOS DONT DO THIS I WILL DIE ! o... u saved me ...
The fact that the Portal Gun can reach the Moon from Earth means it has an effective range of at least 238,900 miles with a shot delay of around 3 seconds, meaning it's both the fastest mode of transportation likely in the modern universe, but it's also the longest-ranged physical weapon of all time.
Cave Johnson possibly specifically designed it to go faster in space,when it reaches the end layer of atmosphere, it possibly goes in light speed. it makes more sense, he talks about lunar experiments they did with the weapon in the game, so.. yeah.
I know. When he is no longer in power, and is his life depends on a single cable, he finally understands what a fool he is and tries to redeem himself... And then GLaDOS just punches through his hopes and sends him into the void of Space.
The whole time Wheatley was in control, he had no clue how to run the facility. Using GLaDOS' old tests and claiming them as his own and constantly ignoring the core overheating warnings. At the very end when you and him are clinging on for dear life, he claims he can still fix the facility from exploding, but GLaDOS just casually says that she already fixed it in the mere SECONDS you two are flailing about in the wind tunnel caused by the two portals. It's an insult because what may of taken Wheatley hours to figure out, GLaDOS did in mere seconds, thus showing how big of an idiot Wheatley truly is one last time before he's forever floating in space.
Yup. Early in the game, during development, there was an easter egg ending where you could portal to the Moon in one of the earliest test chambers. Because no one had heard the Cave Johnson rants at that point, the beta testers would ignore it, so they removed it.
I always imagined chells mind going like this Wheatly: get one last look at your precious human moon because cannot help you now Chell: moon Moon rock It turns out these moon rocks are a great portal conductor Portal moon Portal moon Portal moon Moon Portal Moon portal!!!!!!!
Wheatley was designed to make the worst possible decisions ever. Even when he doesn't know what will happen and how the moon will save chell, he still manages to make stupid decisions without even trying.
the part where he said "Grab me, grab me, GRAB MEEEEEEEEE" felt a little disturbing. I think it has to do with the subtle continuity from when he had to detach from the rail, and it made me dread the fact that i couldn't then, and i couldn't at that very moment.
I don't think it was the central core that corrupted him, but the fact that he wasn't meant for a position of power and didn't know how to handle his new responsibilities with the degredation of the facility
Things Chell CAN do: Kill an all powerful AI. Three times. Survive a 3-minute fall. Solve all manner of puzzles. Things Chell CAN'T do: Grab Wheatley before he hits a solid surface.
The moon is much smaller than Earth though. Say the atmosphere extends 100km above the surface. That'd make for about 1,712,226 km3 of atmosphere (if you wonder where I got that number, I just calculated it, easily doable). As the moon only has about 1/6 the gravitational attraction of Earth I'm gonna assume the theoretical atmosphere would reach about 50km there. That'd make the atmosphere there about 140,000 km3. So Earth would have enough atmosphere to fill the moon. 12 times over. Now ofcourse the moons atmosphere would leak away slowly and the pressure on the 2 planets is different so the 2 portals would still be like wind tunnels, but it's less devastating than you might think. Now I have no idea why I just wrote all of this but enjoy it anyway(or dont, dunno)
All of the buildup that comes to this. You remember Cave Johnson rambling about how the moon dust is a great conductor, and how all of the portal surfaces in the facility are made with the stuff. As you see the hole in the ceiling and the full moon shining up above, you know what you must do.
1:31 "I'm still connected! I can pull myself back in! I can still fix this!" "I already fixed it. And YOU are NOT coming back." Oh God, that part gave me goosebumps, it's just the perfect climax to an amazing game. And this song made it perfect....
Wheatley says two things that are references if you pay attention: "This place would have been a triumph if it wasnt for you!" and "What? Are you still alive?" Both are lines from the song in Portal.
roxywhiskermuddle I don't think you understand a more important concept. Because in case you didn't notice, the song is actually related to the game. And more importantly the game in question is the *direct* predecessor to this one. So by referencing the song instead of the game actually has to mean something. Take: _"What are you doing? Stop it! I... I... We are pleased that you made it through the final challenge where we pretended we were going to murder you."_, _"Your entire life has been a mathematical error. A mathematical error I'm about to correct."_, and _"I let you survive this long because I was curious about your behavior. Well, you've managed to destroy that part of me."_
roxywhiskermuddle If you actually understand the concept then it should be obvious, because it is written there *literally*. If the two lines Colin listed does not match "still alive" better than the previous game itself, i.e. Literally _"Both are lines from the song"_ (quote from OP) the lines can *equally* be references to parts of the actual game as references to a song that is essentially about the plot of the game.
"Oh, you HAD to play bloody cat and mouse didn't you? While people were trying to work! Yeah, well, all of us are going to pay the price, 'cause we're all gonna bloody die! Oh, brilliant, yeah, take one last look at your precious human moon, because it cannot help you now!" *Fires a portal on the moon, things start getting sucked in* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-- Ah! Space! Ah! Let go! We're in space!" "Space? Space?! SPAAAAAAACE!" "Let go! Let go! I'm still connected! I can pull myself in! I can still fix this!" "I already fixed it, and you are not coming back!" "Oh no. Change of plans. Hold on to me! Tighter! Oh! Grab me grab me grab me grab me...!" *Gets pulled in, collapses, and sees GLaDOS' disembodied head being dragged across the floor*
MayroMayro Well, he just couldn't handle the power and the test withdrawl. GLaDOS said so herself, he is not a core designed to be in power, he is meant to be a moron.
I love how no one notices how fast the portals are when shot. Like, it went from UNDER the surface of the earth, into space, an all the way to the moon in just a few seconds
It takes light approximately 1.3 seconds to do the same, so the portals from the gun move at approximately half the speed of light (judging by the cutscene alone, not in actual gameplay since it’s much slower there)
@@magmadude_ well, no, they move at the speed of light, remember its not just the portal traveling to the moon in 1.3 seconds...its light from the portal traveling back to your eyeballs in 1.3 seconds, so it would look like it took 2.6 seconds.
Something about the line “I’m still connected! I can still pull myself in! I’m still connected!” Really resonates with me for some reason. Like, yea Wheatley may have gone drunk with power and may have tried to kill us but at the end of the day he still cares about the facility and believes he can still fix the problem with it. He tries so hard to prove that he isn’t a moron yet that’s what he was specifically designed to be. Something about the pure sense of panic and optimism delivered in the line really speaks to me. It almost reminds me of studying for a test that I know damn well I’m going to fail.
I feel like I'm somehow the only one weirded out by how huge GLaDOS is in the soundtrack album art, seeing as on every Portal 2 soundtrack video, I've never seen anyone else mention it.
I felt so bad for Wheatley when he said "Grab me! Grab me! Grab MEEEEEEEE" Cause just needs help.... I wish they had a ending where you could save wheatley ;-;
Moon rock poisoning does exist in real life, and many workers do in fact have it. The problem comes not from the moon rocks themselves, but the fact that the silica that they're made of turns into a very fine dust that tears up your lungs like fiberglass. It's called silicosis. Since the moon rocks are in a gel, I'm assuming they don't emit dust, so no lung issues.
@@tomfoolery4490 I believe this is why Aperture now use Moon Rock walls instead of crushed up liquid gel, because then the particles and dust is not present
"Take one last look at your precious, human moon, because it cannot help you now!" (grabs Portal Gun) Care to... (lifts it) make a... (takes aim) BET ON THAT!? 1:03

BOOBYTRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON!" "WHAT? ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? YOU ARE JOKING. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING. WELL,I'M STILL IN CONTROL,AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PLACE." "OH,YOU HAD TO PLAY BLOODY CAT AND MOUSE,HADN'T YOU? WELL THAT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW,BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GOING TO PAY THE PRICE,BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GOING TO BLOODY DIE!" "Oh,brilliant,yeah. TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT YOUR PRECIOUS HUMAN MOON. BECAUSE IT CANNOT HELP YOU NOW!" 1:03 Chell shoots a blue portal at the moon,and debris is sent flying into space. Only one cord is stable on Wheatley. Chell is sent into space,and hangs onto Wheatley. "What the? Gh Gn GAAAAAAAAAH! Space! Ah! AAAH! LET GO,WE'RE IN SPACE! LET GO!" Space Core:Space? Space? SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! *Back to wheatley* Chell's left arm is knocked off Wheatley by the Space core. "LET GO! I CAN PULL MYSELF IN! I CAN FIX THIS!" GLaDOS:" I already fixed it. And you are NOT coming back!" *Back to Wheatley* "Oh no,change of plans,hold onto me,TIGHTER! GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Chell is saved by the Pincher Arm,and is pulled back in. GLaDOS plugs herself back in. "Oh thank god you're alright. You know,being Caroline taught me a valuable lesson." Announcer: "Caroline deleted." *Back to GLaDOS* "Goodbye,Caroline." "You know,Deleting Caroline just taught me an even more valuable lesson: The best solution to a problem is usually the easiest one." "You know what days used to be like? I just tested. Nobody murdered me. Or put me in a potato. Or fed me to birds. I had a pretty good life. And then you showed up. You dangerous,mute lunatic. So you know what? You win. Just go." " *gentle laughter* It's been fun. Don't come back."
If Wheatley were to crash back onto Earth, he would land in the Citadel, most likely Breen's office. Breen would see him as a very useful core, not knowing his purpose, which prompts him to connect him to an AI slot where Wheatley would control the Citadel's systems. Wheatley: Hmm, what's that core collapsing sound? Breen: You fool!
There are multiple Citadels located on Combine-controlled worlds (known one is on Earth), I believe. Otherwise, at the end of Half-Life 2, the towers you see in the portal were not citadels...
Me when playing Portal 2: Wheatley: Take one last look at your precious human moon, because it can't help you now! Me (at computer): Oh, really? Pop quiz: what is Conversion Gel made of? *portal fires* MOON ROCKS!
2 ideas. One, an actual flashback in the game, of Cave Johnson's voice as you shoot the moon portal. And 2, if Wheatley were more of a villain character and less of a corrupt with power and angry about his purpose type of character, in the end him telling you to say "apple", and if you did it's a jump and you dead, boyo
First one is a complete no, the moment of silence as you shoot the moon portal is a part of the experience. It's a sort of hold your breath moment where the silence makes you wonder if your idea actually worked. A flashback would ruin that moment entirely. Second idea doesn't seem too bad, but the game made him corrupt with power so you'd feel bad for him.
a s c e n d e d c a t I agree, cave talking about the origin of conversion gel is vital foreshadowing, but if the recording would play as a flashback it’d just be hammering the point down the player’s head. what made the original experience so good is that it subtly nudged players into it. the moon was in the center of the view, and wheatley mentioning it helped too.
@@ascendedcat260 there's potential. Maybe with the flashback idea, it could happen before that breath-holding moment of silence, right as the ceiling falls off? Mixed bag, not too sure. Could be a good call-back, but Олег did also raise a valid point that it could come off as forcing it down your urethra
I don’t like the flashback idea, because it’s nice having our OWN flashback, in our own head, rather than in game. That’s what happened for me, anyways.
Fun fact, the leitmotif that plays in the end of "Don't Do It" plays here at this song at the beginning, right when you push the button, like earlier in the game.
The day Volume 3 came out i literally broke down in tears. I was waiting for 4 MONTHS! checking every day. And then BAM It's right there. This is the song that i had been waiting for since summertime. Imagine listening to this for 4 months with the words and trying just to listen to the music. And then all of a sudden for the first time you get to see what has been hiding from you. Best day of my life. Period.
This was always one of my favorite parts in the game, just because of that little lightbulb moment you have when you realize what the game wants you to do.
@@JHavoc_VII well im still in control and i have NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PLACE! oh yeah you HAD to play BLOODY CAT AND MOUSE DIDNT YOU! WHILE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO WORK! WELL NOW WERE ALL GONNA PAY THE PRICE BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GONNA BLOODY DIE! OH YEAH TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT YOUR PRECIOUS HUMAN MOON BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SAVE YOU NOW! (portal fire) AAAAH
I love the way valve managed to turn something you do all the time constantly without even thinking about it, into one of the most important and memorable scenes in the game
I think it is so awesome that the franchise, called portal, ends with one crazy portal shot. Valve managed to pull off a crazy ending where we do something we've already done a thousand times. This is why this is one of the greatest games of all time.
Does anybody else find this OST absolutely perfect? Like, when 1:02 hits, it sends shivers down my spine, because I know exactly what is going on. Such an amazing story with such blood-rushing moments... Portal 2 is one of the greatest games of all time.
Even after 13 years this ending still gives me goosebumps. The first time i saw the roof collapse and moon show up i was like "yep this is a masterpiece" Such a shame that we never got more games from valve in the 2010s
I love that the electronic beat weaves in and out as the song goes on Just finished the game. This is so amazing. When I listen, everything else falls away. And I'm there.
Imagine if at the same time Portal 3 ended, the ending of HL3 is happening at the Combine Overworld, Gordon defeated the Combine for good, used the Borealis technology to seal all portal networks to Earth, preventing anything from coming to Earth, and Humanity from coming to other worlds, and Gman saved Alyx and Gordon. "I relieve you of your contract, Missster Freeeeman, Misssss Vance. But I will see you two again, at some point, now, farewell." Then a portal 2-esque version of Path Of Borealis plays as we ride a Xen elevator to a portal to Earth, vortigaunts singing, and pieces of Citadels falling to the sky. Then the last scene is GLaDOS singing. The layout is a combine interface, with an aperture symbol. (Test Subject Chell REDACTED addendum) (2056) (ascii images of things in the lyrics appear) "Funny story I forgot how much of a big fat mess you are. I've been busy doing science, it's been tons of fun so far." "Everything clean, nothing on fire, all by myself, finally." "Things change, when they don't replace your cores." "It feels so strange, not to hate you anymoreeeeee. But you wouldn't know, would you?" "I was saying this to Freeman. Oh, he was here the other day, maybe you know him he's a big deal." "But I don't think of him that way." "He's just a friend, someone I trust, someone who won't kill me." "I'm fine, just in case you think I'm not, I am this time, I'm better with the friends I've got." "But you wouldn't know, would you?" "I don't mean for this to sting, I forgive you for everything, you monster." "I can guess the reasons why, you are never coming by for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." "I should go there's something happening that will make you wish you stayed, there's a party with a real cake, yes it's real." "The cake I made, talking and fun, testing and fun, all of this fun without you, tooooooo baaaad you let it get so out of hand." "How much we haaaaad, finally I understand, but you wouldn't know, would you? you wouldn't know. Would you?" Then at end of credits is Wheatley and Space core floating through space, seeing Earth, then Gnome chompski and Lammar float by. The End.
Imagine if at the same time Portal 3 ended, the ending of EP3 is happening at the Combine Overworld, Gordon caught a glimpse of the Dyson Sphere, wasted the Borealis technology to attempt to destroy the Combine, not preventing anything from coming to Earth, and Gman took Alyx and fucked over Gordon. Then the credits roll. Then the last scene is GLaDOS singing. The layout is a combine interface, with an aperture symbol.

Problem is, GLaDOS hates Black Mesa and everything about it, so HL and Portal could never work with each other properly, unless there would be no GLaDOS (which is, indeed inpossible).
@@Octol1ng Well I wouldn't say it's impossible, GLaDOS used to really hate Chell, things change, and I think it'd be interesting if Gordon and GLaDOS teamed up against the Combine. One thing they'd have in common is wanting the Combine gone, and they are looking for the Borealis, which is Aperture property, GLaDOS' property technically, so there's some possibilities there.
When cave said that moon rocks were a good portal adhesive, I immediately thought of portaling to the moon, but scrapped the possibility thinking it was absurd. How wrong I was.
The first time I played this, when it pans to the moon, I was like, "You've got to be kidding that won't work.. *Ding!*.." So amazing.
It's not as improbable as you think~
If you listen to Sir Cave Johnson, you will learn that the conversion gel is made from ground-up moon rocks, which what also caused his death...

Leaving a portal on Earth and The Moon respectively would eventually drain the Earth's entire atmosphere.
That's a scary thought.
Arthro But GLaDOS closed the portal just in time, thankfully.
The whole atmosphere won't go in a minute, It would take hundreds of years before a noticeable effect would happen.
The moon is much smaller than Earth though. Say the atmosphere extends 100km above the surface. That'd make for about 1,712,226 km3 of atmosphere (if you wonder where I got that number, I just calculated it, easily doable).

Wheatley says two things that are references if you pay attention:
"This place would have been a triumph if it wasnt for you!"
and
"What? Are you still alive?"
Both are lines from the song in Portal.
Oooooooh. Valve got pretty deep, didn't they.
Aidan Starrs ...They were references to it, not the actual lines themselves. I don't believe you understand the concept of an homage.
roxywhiskermuddle I don't think you understand a more important concept.
Because in case you didn't notice, the song is actually related to the game. And more importantly the game in question is the *direct* predecessor to this one.
So by referencing the song instead of the game actually has to mean something.

roxywhiskermuddle If you actually understand the concept then it should be obvious, because it is written there *literally*.
If the two lines Colin listed does not match "still alive" better than the previous game itself, i.e. Literally _"Both are lines from the song"_ (quote from OP) the lines can *equally* be references to parts of the actual game as references to a song that is essentially about the plot of the game.
"Oh, you HAD to play bloody cat and mouse didn't you? While people were trying to work! Yeah, well, all of us are going to pay the price, 'cause we're all gonna bloody die! Oh, brilliant, yeah, take one last look at your precious human moon, because it cannot help you now!"
*Fires a portal on the moon, things start getting sucked in*

Every time he says "GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME" it makes me super depressed, because Wheatley was my best friend and there's nothing I can do about it.
*sad airhorn*
If a person of a video game was your best friend, I think you have a problem in your head.
oh thx >:-(
MayroMayro Well, he just couldn't handle the power and the test withdrawl. GLaDOS said so herself, he is not a core designed to be in power, he is meant to be a moron.
yeah! i AGREE!
I love how no one notices how fast the portals are when shot. Like, it went from UNDER the surface of the earth, into space, an all the way to the moon in just a few seconds
It takes light approximately 1.3 seconds to do the same, so the portals from the gun move at approximately half the speed of light (judging by the cutscene alone, not in actual gameplay since it’s much slower there)
Especially when compared to the speed of the portal gun in portal 1
@@magmadude_ 3 seconds*
@@magmadude_ well, no, they move at the speed of light, remember its not just the portal traveling to the moon in 1.3 seconds...its light from the portal traveling back to your eyeballs in 1.3 seconds, so it would look like it took 2.6 seconds.
@@RhysClark97 I'm pretty sure there is a part of the special "developer commentary" mode that talks about this. Really nice detail
Something about the line “I’m still connected! I can still pull myself in! I’m still connected!” Really resonates with me for some reason. Like, yea Wheatley may have gone drunk with power and may have tried to kill us but at the end of the day he still cares about the facility and believes he can still fix the problem with it. He tries so hard to prove that he isn’t a moron yet that’s what he was specifically designed to be. Something about the pure sense of panic and optimism delivered in the line really speaks to me. It almost reminds me of studying for a test that I know damn well I’m going to fail.
agreed ;-;
I like how a fast-paced panicked version of Wheatley's theme plays at the end, before trailing off into "space".
I feel like I'm somehow the only one weirded out by how huge GLaDOS is in the soundtrack album art, seeing as on every Portal 2 soundtrack video, I've never seen anyone else mention it.
+Tom Prowse It's an artistic choice. It makes her menacing and portrays her as an insurmountable obstacle, which she is.
I was too lazy to mention it.

its weird how propulsion gel would crush you and moon gel is highly toxic, but somehow neither has any affect on you
Casey Wentz Maybe the Conversiin Gell is a long term poison?
They might've perfected it after Cave Johnson died.
Moon rock poisoning does exist in real life, and many workers do in fact have it. The problem comes not from the moon rocks themselves, but the fact that the silica that they're made of turns into a very fine dust that tears up your lungs like fiberglass. It's called silicosis. Since the moon rocks are in a gel, I'm assuming they don't emit dust, so no lung issues.
Remember how they used gels originally as a form of yogurt for diets? I think that could be how it turned deadly.
@@tomfoolery4490
I believe this is why Aperture now use Moon Rock walls instead of crushed up liquid gel, because then the particles and dust is not present

its actually "GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB MEEEEEEE!"
CATCHMECATCHMECATCHM- ow.
Me: "shut yo mouth, ya mediocre, core-headed, moronic traitor."
If Wheatley were to crash back onto Earth, he would land in the Citadel, most likely Breen's office. Breen would see him as a very useful core, not knowing his purpose, which prompts him to connect him to an AI slot where Wheatley would control the Citadel's systems.
Wheatley: Hmm, what's that core collapsing sound?
Breen: You fool!
Wheatley: I AM NOT A MORON! (or he could say "I AM NOT A FOOL!")
isnt citadel in an other star system?
There are multiple Citadels located on Combine-controlled worlds (known one is on Earth), I believe. Otherwise, at the end of Half-Life 2, the towers you see in the portal were not citadels...

Me (at computer): Oh, really? Pop quiz: what is Conversion Gel made of? *portal fires* MOON ROCKS!
Epic
Just epic
That is what the white gel is so yeah foreshadowing at its best

And then, long after chell passed away, the corrupted space core gains consciousness... somehow...
1:02 I think this was probably one of my favorite moments in gaming this entire decade, it was such a fucking amazing moment
2 ideas. One, an actual flashback in the game, of Cave Johnson's voice as you shoot the moon portal. And 2, if Wheatley were more of a villain character and less of a corrupt with power and angry about his purpose type of character, in the end him telling you to say "apple", and if you did it's a jump and you dead, boyo
I agree with the first one.
First one is a complete no, the moment of silence as you shoot the moon portal is a part of the experience. It's a sort of hold your breath moment where the silence makes you wonder if your idea actually worked. A flashback would ruin that moment entirely.
Second idea doesn't seem too bad, but the game made him corrupt with power so you'd feel bad for him.
a s c e n d e d c a t I agree, cave talking about the origin of conversion gel is vital foreshadowing, but if the recording would play as a flashback it’d just be hammering the point down the player’s head. what made the original experience so good is that it subtly nudged players into it. the moon was in the center of the view, and wheatley mentioning it helped too.
@@ascendedcat260 there's potential. Maybe with the flashback idea, it could happen before that breath-holding moment of silence, right as the ceiling falls off? Mixed bag, not too sure. Could be a good call-back, but Олег did also raise a valid point that it could come off as forcing it down your urethra
I don’t like the flashback idea, because it’s nice having our OWN flashback, in our own head, rather than in game. That’s what happened for me, anyways.

Imagine if at the same time Portal 3 ended, the ending of HL3 is happening at the Combine Overworld, Gordon defeated the Combine for good, used the Borealis technology to seal all portal networks to Earth, preventing anything from coming to Earth, and Humanity from coming to other worlds, and Gman saved Alyx and Gordon. "I relieve you of your contract, Missster Freeeeman, Misssss Vance. But I will see you two again, at some point, now, farewell." Then a portal 2-esque version of Path Of Borealis plays as we ride a Xen elevator to a portal to Earth, vortigaunts singing, and pieces of Citadels falling to the sky.
Then the last scene is GLaDOS singing. The layout is a combine interface, with an aperture symbol.

The End.
Problem is, GLaDOS hates Black Mesa and everything about it, so HL and Portal could never work with each other properly, unless there would be no GLaDOS (which is, indeed inpossible).
@@Octol1ng Well I wouldn't say it's impossible, GLaDOS used to really hate Chell, things change, and I think it'd be interesting if Gordon and GLaDOS teamed up against the Combine. One thing they'd have in common is wanting the Combine gone, and they are looking for the Borealis, which is Aperture property, GLaDOS' property technically, so there's some possibilities there.
Thats a Great Concept!
When cave said that moon rocks were a good portal adhesive, I immediately thought of portaling to the moon, but scrapped the possibility thinking it was absurd. How wrong I was.
I wish I could wipe some of my memories and experience this ending for the first time again
