on the world. Plato believes we should all seek to escape from this “cave”, our realities, made up of false perceptions and face the harsh realities although it can cause us pain. Just like the inertials had to face the reality that they were all in half-life and that they would eventually die.

Diatoma speaks of the ideal of soulmates to not be soulmates unless each soulmate is good. She states that love is wanting to posses the good forever so if our “other half” is not…

how the two have seemed to drift apart recently, then there's a sharp cut to a shot showing the two in their entirety (or lack of, really). Our main character is merely the upper half of a body, bespectacled and dressed in an "I'd Rather Be Playing Air Hockey" t-shirt, while his significant other is a denim-wearing lower half.
