The closest thing anything in this comic comes to plot exposition is one line indicating there was a specific day it all went so strange, and that struck me as pretty clearly implied by “H.R. has a bunch of people in jars.”

The comic mysteriously didn’t go on to be about whether it’s time for menage a trois metaphors in marketing.

Isn’t that… sorta futile?

Also, who sets up that level of expectations for something they’re reading?

Don’t you know expectations are what unhappiness is made of?

Some of the five have more significant pasts than others, but at various points, all of them except Best meet people who knew them before their introductory Chapter 1 scenes. So the only thing that makes sense to me here is that the changes were retroactive.

I am not sure about your labeling there doesn’t exposition have to exposit? The first panel is entirely chatter irrelevant to the story basically just there to set the scene as them being presenters. The second panel just alludes to something going strange and him watching coverage in hope of getting some inspiration about it. The third, well I suppose it tells us about an VR system but as we know it isn’t directly relevant to the comic, it basically just serves the purpose of telling us they work on VR.

Just prior to meeting in Gastonia? Or well back in their backstories? Trying to figure out how much Arkerran time has passed with them being part of it
