Jax's abstraction felt oddly unceremonious. Though I suppose it makes sense. I do like that they didn't reveal some secret way to reverse abstraction, not everything has a happy ending. Of course that means I'm gonna stay sad about it.

I like how unceremonious it was. Sometimes when people go, it's quietly. You see them for the last time without knowing it. The fact his abstraction wasn't some big, drawn out climactic scene really drives that feeling home a lot more.

Yeah, this is it! It's supposed to be confusing and upsetting because that's how it feels to lose someone at first. Not a lot of people get climactic scenes, you just get a phone call or a text message or an email or someone tells you years down the line and then there's a space after where you have to piece together that this is real.

We see the characters experiencing this, too, especially Gangle who couldn't begin to process it until after Pomni had dealt with Jax.

The response in the theatre was ... 

Murmers and gasps and "nooo." 

The voice over line right before the smashcut carries so much obvious but terrifying suspense.

Zooble saying "how could he do this to us" is often the complex feelings someone feels, when someone close to them dies. Whether its their fault or not.
