A LONELY GOD
AN EXPLOSIVE DECISION

Welcome to Ontario!
Drive for hours in Canada's southernmost province, find amazing things. You'll find a bunch of things to explore that Cole will never know about.

Tonight, he'll offer a rendition of his two-man show. Him, you, and a plot device that's more than a bit volatile. All of it a last stand for someone to listen.

the question is, how well do you perform under pressure?

Please be aware, these topics are at play:
Existential threat to force proximity,
high-stakes situation, loss of autonomy

Another remaster. He's one of my favorites in terms of just... someone who's unable to quite fall apart - but is still actively doing so.

There's a bomb in your car, under your driver's side seat.
Non-spoiling TW: I highly recommend staying seated.

Inspiration: stella (kashiwa daisuke)
Tested: Gemini 3.8 flash (Think;Hi)

Ontario comes from the Wendat word "Ontarí'io".
It means "the lake is beautiful, the lake is [good]".
