On an unrelated matter re reading the last updates, i relaised a weird contradcition in intruder's explenations

Post 91 while taling of the seal of cosmic truth

Intruder: Why, the ones watching us right now. The Audience. The ones represented by the top symbol in the seal.

You make a mental note to ask him about The Audience, but Intruder answers you now, sensing your curiosity.

Intruder: The Audience only want to be pleased.

but later in post 118

You: Wait, but what about the Audience?

Intruder: They’re not watching anymore.

You: What?

Intruder: They’ve been gone for a long, LONG time. We all know it, yet we continue to behave like they’re still there, even though they stopped talking to us for eons.

I /suppose you could say time as we know it means little to the audience and thus they are dead since a long time and yet stilw atching but that's still a weird turn. First he's like 'they're watching us right now' and but a few moment later 'they haven't been watching for a long time'

.... Well now he's dead so we can't go all cosmic phoenix wright on his ass for his contradiction but it's still weird and unless this was a blatant retcon from Mayu, i think everything Intruder told us about the audience should be taken with a grain of salt.

Not even Intruder can fully embrace the idea that the Audience is gone. Lapses in memory happens because of it. Every single Author that exists was programmed to behave like the Audience is always there, and only in Intruder's final moments he was able to blurt out the truth.

Every Author knows the Audience is gone, but they don't want to admit it. Right now they're all hoping they're back, or they never left, because the truth hurts them too much to ever say it unless they absolutely have to say the truth.

Imagine if it turned out nobody has to breathe anymore, but we still keep our lungs, nostrils, the instinct to breathe, etc. It's the same thing with the Authors: They don't have to please the Audience anymore, but they cannot ignore their own impulses to act as if they're still there.
