all analogue nowhere characters are unreliable narrators and the actual plot is just a mixture of truth and brain chip glitch hallucinations

Some say the entirety of the techno-mage plotline is OpenBlade relaying its adventures with the mage to Fosschild.

Chances are the chronologically last panel of it all is just a CS student waking up in their dorm, rubbing their eyes and saying 'what a fucked up dream.'
