why immerse? shows peanut butter jar flipping from smooth to crunchy and back
revert to child shape when enemy which entered at the same time as you is gone. control keyboard emerging from around eyes and mouth — horrifying when first seen
this is key as in first scene we see the submergence into several levels of reality and it is very confusing to watch as the enemy and team seem to dive in mid air into shimmering water surfaces and dissolve away at the surface but then re emerge in the same room (for scene filming sake)
it is only when the hero pops into boy form that we know the enemy is dead — if only one person is left from the particular joint immersion they somehow appear as a child version of themselves — everyone is relieved, even though this means that the other team member who went in has died too — this is the only sure way of knowing the enemy has been killed / has gone as otherwise too confusing to keep track of multiple immersions
television interview with operator shows blurred out lower face and we know the blur is because of the horrific keyboard and we assume the slurred speech is also the result of the keys jammed in the mouth — but then she learns forward and strokes and talks to chameleon on the table in front of her, and she has a normal mouth — what is going on? is she somehow different?

enemy forcibly sends in manual of sushi as the hero takes heroine on a date in time 113
earlier they we swimming along underwater and the reach the room where he starts putting objects onto the table that represent parts of himself — the manual of sushi is appearing page by page through the letterbox in the door, with a jarring thud as each page appears to attach itself to the book, but the hero and heroine are so into each other that they do not notice, even as the book starts to crowd out our field of vision onto the table and the objects start to move right along the table and fall off (the letter hole is in the door to the left which butts onto the left side of the table and we focus on it as soon as we hear the first thud but we also hear the hero and heroine talking on between themselves with no care in the world as they clearly have not seen the intrusion — and we are also unclear what this enemy intrusion means (it is unexplained)
two other operatives shown as terminated on screen — and message pops up that here is also in same vicinity in 113 — has he gone rogue? retrieval team sent me find out
one operative somehow goes in but in miniature form — or are all the others expanding into giants in this immersion but she somehow isn't? why this would we is unexplained but mysterious. the others manifest with scuba style jet sleds and the last one before her gives her a ride (she grasps onto sled rod as he sweeps past)
this is where I woke up, with the operatives disappearing off screen bottom as the swept away towards the hero and heroine
solar flare imminent that machine intelligence will not survive

SALIGIA based on the first letters in Latin of the seven deadly sins: superbia, avaritia, luxuria, invidia, gula, ira, acedia.
as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.
The modern concept of the seven deadly sins is linked to the works of the 4th century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight evil thoughts in Greek as follows:[6]
Γαστριμαργία (gastrimargia) gluttony
Πορνεία (porneia) prostitution, fornication
Φιλαργυρία (philargyria) avarice
Ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) hubris – sometimes rendered as self-esteem[7]
Λύπη (lypē) sadness – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as envy, sadness at another's good fortune
Ὀργή (orgē) wrath
Κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) boasting
Ἀκηδία (akēdia) acedia – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as dejection
They were translated into the Latin of Western Christianity (largely due to the writings of John Cassian),[8] thus becoming part of the Western tradition's spiritual pietas (or Catholic devotions), as follows:[9]
Gula (gluttony)
Fornicatio (fornication, lust)
Avaritia (avarice/greed)
Superbia (hubris, pride)
Tristitia (sorrow/despair/despondency)
Ira (wrath)
Vanagloria (vainglory)
Acedia (sloth)
These "evil thoughts" can be categorized into three types:[9]
lustful appetite (gluttony, fornication, and avarice)
irascibility (wrath)
intellect (vainglory, sorrow, pride, and Discouragement)
In AD 590, a little over two centuries after Evagrius wrote his list, Pope Gregory I revised this list to form the more common Seven Deadly Sins, by folding (sorrow/despair/despondency) into acedia, vainglory into pride, and adding envy.[10] In the order used by Pope Gregory, and repeated by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) centuries later in his epic poem The Divine Comedy, the seven deadly sins are as follows:
luxuria (lechery/lust)[11][12][13]
gula (gluttony)
avaritia (avarice/greed)
acedia (sloth/discouragement)
ira (wrath)
invidia (envy)
superbia (pride)
The identification and definition of the seven deadly sins over their history has been a fluid process and the idea of what each of the seven actually encompasses has evolved over time. Additionally, as a result of semantic change:
socordia sloth was substituted for acedia
It is this revised list that Dante uses. The process of semantic change has been aided by the fact that the personality traits are not collectively referred to, in either a cohesive or codified manner, by the Bible itself; other literary and ecclesiastical works were instead consulted, as sources from which definitions might be drawn.[citation needed] Part II of Dante's Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, has almost certainly been the best known source since the Renaissance.[citation needed]
The modern Catholic Catechism lists the sins in Latin as "superbia, avaritia, invidia, ira, luxuria, gula, pigritia seu acedia", with an English translation of "pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth/acedia".[14] Each of the seven deadly sins now also has an opposite among corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the seven holy virtues are humility, charity, kindness, patience, chastity, temperance, and diligence (see below).
