Does anyone think John in Meanwhilecity is right?

John's words in Meanwhilecity
resonate with many of them. - I'm not out of order, am I?

Fantasizing about Sally,
when I watched it, I felt that everyone actually has such an imaginary friend who can say anything when they are sad, right?

Want to pay attention to Emilia's suicide images
? Boredom flirting with the world?

Maybe I didn’t lose my loved ones to such an extreme that I lost myself. I also lived in a country without beliefs since I was a child—or in fact, I lived in a world where there are invisible religious beliefs everywhere, but I adapted very well. The inner alternative that everyone actually has is not exposed.

Finally, I picked some lines. I personally think that these monologues have already hinted at the hallucinations of the monologue.
John(David):
Anywhere can feel like a prison when you don't have any faith.
The only thing that got me through the endless night was to plan, stay focused stay sane.
If you believe in something strongly enough, who's to say if it's real or not?

Milo:
I heard this story once when I was a kid, or read it. It was about a storyteller who was so good at telling stories that everything he made up became real. So the storyteller creates a world for himself where he's the king of the castle , has a beautiful princess on his arm. And then, one day, he wakes up. He looks around. He kisses her on the cheek and... legs it.

Emilia:
Life's too much of an adventure as it is without making anything else up.

Franklyn quotes

  • Hospital Representative: Your daughter was killed playing in the street outside your house just two weeks before David came back from Iraq.

    The Individual: What's Sarah got to do with it? Why are you talking about this?

    Hospital Representative: We think it's key to David's condition. It was clear from his evaluation that he holds an individual responsible. Now, you wouldn't happen to know who that might be? You?

    The Individual: G-d, maybe? It was G-d's will that Sarah was taken from us.

    Hospital Representative: We spoke to Anne earlier today, Peter. She seemed to think that you were fairly convinced of G-d's hand in finding David. Your ex-wife thinks you're deluded.

  • Preest: But don't get me wrong. This wasn't fate. For every soul of this deluded population who believed in fate's comic clockwork, they neglect to see the wear and tear beneath the surface. The teeth that grind into the cogs. The damage that fate causes so many in its selfish journey towards just one favourable consequence. The Individual had simply run out of luck, and I was here to collect.
