Severance's views on sadness are raw, real, and dystopian at the same time


Sadness is a major theme to Losses Season oneBut this is usually confined to the outtie storyline. In Season twoWe saw The loss has become a well -known presence In both segments of the show, the innies are driven even-which is not good to deal with complex emotions-to consider what death means to them.

During the time one, we found that LossesThe main character Mark Scout, decided to become a ruined employee in the Lumon Industries because he thought it would help him cope with the loss of his wife Gemma, in a car accident a few years before. We immediately understand that Mark was greatly affected by his passing, moaning his car before entering the office; She appreciates the eight -hour break from her sadness as her Innie controls her consciousness. She keeps some pictures around her around her home — because it was lumon-subsidized housing, and she took the job after she died, we could think she didn't live with her — but the basement was still full of storage storage containing Gemma's knitting tools, candles, and other tangible evidence he has.

The knife-twist, of course, that is He is alive. Members of the audience found out that the shocking detail with Innie Mark, who shouted his discovery during a finale. His outtie's wife is in fact Ms. Casey, the counselor at Lumon's Wellness Center. Gemma/ms. Casey is the same person, and Gemma lives in everything, opening the mysterious galore for Season Two, especially if you think about what Ms. Casey about his existence. As a broken employee, he only woke up for a few days. Altogether. And from what we have seen, he never moved to an outtie; Instead, he stays in Lumon full-time.

Why would Lumon speed up what appears to be like a diabolical and intricate conspiracy? We don't know yet. But to Losses Season Two, Outtie Mark agreed to undergo a sketchy reunion of the procedure after realizing that there was an opportunity made by his wife No. Die in that car accident, and instead hidden somewhere in one of the lower floors of the Lumone. To her, a miraculous second time with Gemma was worth the dangers of rotating around her brain disease.

At the same time, Innie Mark-who has no idea that he is in the process of reuniting-is trying to find Ms. Casey. He does not share the sadness of his Outtie, but the strange situation is dripping with him. We know, of course, that Ms. Casey was remanded by the flawless sound “floor testing,” one of Ms.'s last activities. Cobel as the boss of the broken floor. (Losses is five stages today in season two, and Ms. Casey.)

It is worth mentioning that the one factor that Outtie Mark was first hesitant to try the reunion was because he saw what happened to Petey, his former co-worker and a previous guinea pig for the procedure. Losses The period one begins with the Innie Mark realizing his work bestie is no longer working on the Lumon. Innies have no idea what happened to Petey (it was very difficult to stop a broken job, and there was no apparent reason he was fired), and there was a speculation that something happened to his Outtie. Pey's absence has offered our first taste of Cut offThe repetitive idea is that when a broken person leaves work, it effectively means that they have died. Their outtie can be perfect well, but their version of their friends at the lumon is just glistening.

That's why it's harder for Innie Mark Innie Petey Actually Death is for Outtie Mark. The latter however felt the duty of being bound to attend this year's funeral, a total stranger, who became materialized one day spouting a crazy sound conversation about Mark's best friend in Lumon, and All the evils that the company is secretly engaged in.

When Ms. Cobel-which comes as “Mrs. Selvig,” Mark's Neighbor Nexde Daffy, in Season One-also shows Pey's funeral, it seems like a moral support for Mark, even though of course he's there to ride the Lumon-implanted chip outside Petey's skull. We still don't know about Ms.'s background. Cobel, but we know that he is a diligent enthusiasm when it comes to Kier Eagan, founder of Lumon leader like the founder. We also know that he feels intense pain in something that has happened in his past, probably involving his deceased mother, and is at the root of his strange behavior in and out of the office.

While Ms. Enigmas Cobel awaits more exploration, LossesThe best example of sadness No. involving Mark Springs from the relationship between Innie Irving and Innie Burt. Despite working with the Rival Rivals-the IRV departments in the refinement of Macrodata, Burt's in optics and design-the two men meet cute in the hallway and with an instant connection. Their shyness of attracting is the closest thing to the sweetness we have seen LossesAnd for the IRV, a man who was struck by waking dreams to be overwhelmed by the dreadful black goo, his feelings for Burt was a shocking revelation in a life that had previously focused on counting numbers and being a sticker for the employee handbook. When Burt suddenly “retires” from Lumon, he gets a cheery send-off party, but his departure is otherwise surprising and final feeling as Petey's.

The IRV does not take it, and it slides into a depression so its depletion guides its actions during MDR's daring “overtime” at the end of the period of one. When Innie IRV woke up to the outside world, he managed to dig up Burt's address and head to his house, rubbing his name and piercing in front of him despite the fact that a) he glanced at Burt to a man who was sure to seem She is Burt's wife, and b) Outtie Burt has no clue to who Irving is. When IRV returns to Lumon in Season Two, he is a broken person. Burt out there is unavailable, and Burt inside is lost in memory.

Before, however, IRV was doing his own sudden release. He was fired at the end of the four episode, and therefore the Lumon version of the IRV suddenly disappeared forever. For his MDR co -worker Dylan, it was more or less than killing, no matter how often he made sure the IRV's Outtie was alive and well and took a good journey. Because Dylan had made a huge uprising about it, Mr. Milchick-the manager of the truncated floor, promoted after Ms.'s departure. Cobel-agrees that MDR may have some kind of funeral to concern him.

Like all Lumon ceremonies, the event is full of awkward touch; When preparing a “bereavement kit”, there are personalized favor in the party and an edible center in the form of Irving's head carved from a watermelon. Dylan went through a heartfelt speech because it was cras.

With the IRV who is now permanently in his outtie form – in the latest phase of LossesOuttie Burt and Outtie IRV met for the first time, an Nakaka intrigue Development-and MDR seeing their status as a three-person team, the mystery of Gemma/MS. Casey remains pushing half of half of Losses Season two, at least until the Outtie Mark is concerned. There is a wall of hurt that he needs to engage in, and he is willing to risk his life to find out why Lumon puts him through hell and exploits his darkest hopelessness.
