I wonder if this is a strange take, but I always thought Acht came off as “trying to be cool but a little jealous.”
She was friends with Marina for so long. Surely when she woke to Marinas voice in her simulation she thought, perhaps I’ll see her again. She always held out hope. She was a droppout kid, Marina was a star. She always held a sort of reverence for her, even as friends.
And now they see each other again, Achts time making music the darkest of her life, Marinas the brightest, and only one of them is alone.
Me realizing we never talk about Gary in this role. Who else loves him in “Dead Fish” and wishes he were their creepy little stalker and kidnapper? 😏 NGL I enjoy watching him get spanked too.
