lena 100% went back to her office after talking to sam thinking "wow what a nice friendly conversation i just had with my best friend, samama khalid, the only one of my employees who doesn't actively make fun of me," and sam went back to his cubicle thinking
"sounds like she was trapped in her greatest fear, which then actually killed her" DING DING DING! MR. KHALID, YOU ARE ONTO SOMETHING! I AM SORRY FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU BECAUSE OF THIS
the statement itself was so good too like it was like that post that said "tma listeners listen to tmagp like a wine taster" bc i kept going "oh it's definitely the lonely but it has strong elements of the spiral and corruption"
I am as upset as anybody with Sam laughing off Gwen venting about The Horrors™️
But if a coworker came up to me and said seriously: Barney is real and has murdered several people at a strip club, I too would piss myself laughing at their expense
