A Brother's Journey Part II: Otto
Musicals about Jesus. Nihilistic hellscapes. Space. Puberty (twice). The fourth dimension. None of this matters.
Everything that matters (or doesn't) in the life of Otto.

Tornados in junkyards. Mental health. Quantum physics. Social justice.
Enter the mind of the program known as Ian.
Just an extra in your life's story
Otto thinks he's the only one in the world, and has difficulty believing the existence of anything outside of his own brain. Meanwhile, Ian's brain is trying to fully integrate that he's living one of 7+ billion similarly rich existences.
Otto: Ian, I'm not sure you exist.
Ian: Otto, you exist. I'm an extra in your life.
