I can't believe I'm an NPC in some wacky protag's heist game. What's next, a modern-day train heist?

Chartreuse is my favorite color.

Don’t give them any ideas…
Your faith does not amuse me. Fundamentalism is a singularly unfunny disposition- A Rightist Puppet

In short, "fascist" is a modern word for "heretic," branding an individual worthy of excommunication from the body politic. The right uses otherwords ("reverse-racist," "feminazi," "unamerican," "communist") for similiar purposes, but these words have less elastic meanings. Fascism, however, is the gift that keeps on giving. - Jonah Goldberg, revisited.

Hotter take - I am the main character, and you are all NPCs. Basically, you (and physics itself) are projections of archetypical forms out of my subconscious mind, which is the universal mind of God.

I, as a local instance of the attempt of the universal mind to manifest self-consciousness, am trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth - because what I am attempting to do is impossible. The mind can hold no complete image of itself, as a box cannot fit inside of an identical box.

There can be no self-conception - and yet I am, by some mystery, conceived.

You, on the other hand, are objectively bio-material automata, executing algorithms but never authoring them. You are not really even conscious beings.
