>>3487961>being eternally aloneThat's getting off easy compared to the true Phos Experience™ of having everything you try to do blow up in your face despite your best attempts, losing the ones you care about and even large chunks of yourself over time, and then being ostracized and finally forgotten by your own kind, even though you're still alive (in the barest sense of the word.)
Just being alone would be a blessing compared to Phos' suffering.
