Rambles TW:[ii 16]

Mephone is just a kid. Now before I get people going in my comments trying to say "oh Applin! You're infantilizing him!". No I'm not. Please hear me out.

Let's be honest,Mephone as a character has lost his childhood from the very beginning since he was made. Cobs neglected him, emotionally and physically manipulated him.

What I am trying to say is yes Mephone is an adult. However even adults can still be childish. That's HIS coping mechanism. The SHOW is HIS coping mechanism. He's trying to somehow fill the holes and gaps caused by Cobs instead with this coping mechanism.

Cobs though, is using the fact and the knowledge that he knows Mephone is "childish" at heart. He is weaponising Mephone's OWN COPING MECHANISM against him.In order to GET Mephone to come BACK to Meeple.

Do I believe Mephone "created" everyone? No I don't. I believe that yes Mephone created perhaps the settings and the atmosphere/props ect. But he did NOT create the contestants. I will tell you this with a fact. Just because we saw suitcase and knife glitch physically, that can still be metaphorical. A metaphor for how Knife and suitcase are now doubting themselves, they are considering Cob's words in a way. They are doubting how much they know about MEPHONE. How much Mephone hasn't told them everything completely yet.

I mean a notable thing is also on Mephone' wiki it describes his mentality "Out of sight, out of mind". Cobs USES THAT during ii 16 purposely. There are words there thrown in such as "regression" ect.

Cobs is yet again destroying Mephone's coping mechanism here when he was ON THE WAY to RECOVERY. Because how can Cobs make more profit, if Mephone4 isn't crumbled down to a state where he is impulsive.Making it easier to manipulate him.
