I'm Not Sure They're Ever In The Same Scene, So It Takes A While To Dawn, But The Contrasts Between Irving

I'm not sure they're ever in the same scene, so it takes a while to dawn, but the contrasts between Irving B. and Ms Cobel—

he's an artistic soul trapped in a world where the only art and literature is corporate propaganda, and even though he's a bit overly pushy about it, it still comes from a place of wanting to share the inspiration and awe he feels ("I think we should take Helly to the Perpetuity Wing today"), and even though he's kind of a stickler, he's not beyond a bit of creative interpretation of the scripture if it helps him and the people he cares about to wring a bit more happiness out of their existence—

and then she, she isn't severed, she isn't cut off from the rest of the art and expression the world has to offer (whatever that looks like in a world with Lumon in it), but she chooses the story of Lumon and the Eagans to the obsessive exclusion of all other possible truths ... and see what she does with it, makes snares of it to catch people out with, and hammers to beat them with, and yardsticks for them to fall short of.

Irving B. is only given one story to work with and causes it to change as he grows beyond it. Ms Cobel limits herself to a single story, rejecting all others, and it makes her rigid enough to shatter

Sobbing.

Realizing that Elias Hodge, after finally settling down and taking the time to relax at last, is hyper fixating not on his job, but on his passions, and finding a place for them. Realizing that his Attention can be allowed to Fawn over himself for once, but that a little Impulse and Hyper Vigilance won’t do him any harm either. Realizing that his Conscience can easily Justify a little Pleasure for himself for once, and that his Curiosity, while it works just fine on its own, could always use a helping hand. Elias Hodge becomes a detective, always prioritizing the truth, and doing the right thing.
