Story Question
Why Are Alternate Worlds So Painful In Dark Matter?
Short Answer
Alternate worlds are painful because each one reveals a different version of loss, regret, or a life Jason almost had.
Why Near-perfect Worlds Hurt Most
The most painful realities are not always the most dangerous ones. They are the worlds where Jason almost has what he wants but discovers one devastating difference.
Why The Multiverse Becomes Emotional
Every world forces Jason to confront a different form of regret, loss, or temptation.
What This Adds To The Story
Dark Matter uses alternate worlds not just for spectacle, but to make Jason understand the value of the imperfect life he lost.
