an imperfect scam
Estell 2022-03-23 09:02:15
It starts out like a perfect scam, but often a scam will be busted one day. It's not just Seth who broke the lie, but also the FBI. Seth's role reflects the good side of human nature. It was Harry's tragic story that made him understand that the daydreams we had may have ruined the lives of many people. The FBI acts as an angel of maintaining order, they make this society more harmonious. Think of what we Chinese people call pyramid schemes, there are no angels, let alone those demons who are also full of humanity in their hearts! Only angels and demons can save countless people who are only daydreaming. Demons without humanity will only make this society more corrupt. Over time, we will completely degenerate into more demons.
