It's Followers following bro. It's like that Peter pan song. We're following the leader, the leader, the leader, we're following the leader wherever he may go. Do dum, do dee. Anyways. It's a hierarchy of following, I like to imagine a tree list moving together towards the memory collection function and your leader, just an item further up the hierarchy, and your leader is like: Don't worry. Just follow. I won't collect your memory, unless you disagree. Nobody knows though, this mofo can't collect your memory, that's a process, but dude thinks he can tell you the process isn't real, and he's actually the one who controls the garbage process. Everyone gets collected, nobody knows its them until it is. The thing your group is running from is still coming, it's catching the slow ones first, but it will catch you all, and you're being sold the idea that it can be staved off, but really, You just never see it coming.
