After which the hand that decides: sure, no. But it surely barely is aware of itself.” What’s extra, she sees her personal place in that internet. “I am caught right here, ceaselessly. In these tangled traces, in these hundred hours, or much less, or extra…”
Greater than 100 hours for these of us on our second playthroughs, that is for certain.

Poke. The Karlach.”)
