Small theory about wellness
Spoilers up to episode three
———————————————————
So I’ve been rewatching season 1 and I noticed two small details about the wellness sessions.
The first is that Ms. Casey turns a dial that sounds like static before turning up the unsettling calming music. The music is to mask the sound of whatever the first dial is doing. My theory is that she’s turning on a machine that either emits brain waves or scans the innies to make sure their brain waves are correctly synced.
The second is the lights - in the attached screenshot we see 4 lights. On this rewatch I noticed they have a striking resemblance to something we just saw in S2 3E3 - Mark’s brain waves as he attempts reintegration! (I think the 5th light is implied and hidden but I could be wrong).
Combining the two details above, I think the machine to fix or check the brain waves is hidden in the lights! And maybe the questions are an added way to evaluate if the chip is functioning correctly?
Apologies if others have already made this connection and I’d love to hear everyone else’s thoughts! I haven’t gotten to Mark’s session yet in my rewatch so maybe I’m stunningly off base.
