Nothing

A cramped, ordinary house serves as the last bastion of civilization for Dave and Andrew as the world around them collapses. When the outside disappears, the house becomes a fragile island in a featureless white expanse known as the Nothing. The void is flat, springy, and quiet, occupied only by the two friends and their belongings.

🧭 Isolation

Trapped in a shrinking world, Dave and Andrew must navigate not just the physical emptiness but the emotional distance that grows between them. The nothingness isolates them from society, forcing them to confront dependence, fear, and the fragility of their friendship. The setting strips away distractions, making every action a test of will and connection. Survival hinges on finding meaning within the void.

🔥 Anger and Conflict

Hate and frustration become catalysts that erase objects and even pieces of themselves, revealing how anger shapes reality. The two men use their grievances to justify harm, escalating from petty bickering to destructive confrontations. The void amplifies these emotions, turning their domestic space into a battleground. Only after a brutal clash do they face the consequences of their resentment and seek a fragile reconciliation.

🧠 Trauma and Memory

Andrew's confessed childhood abuse surfaces as a defining trauma that shapes his initial phobias and reactions. Through storytelling and the act of 'hating away' his memories, he discovers agency over his fears. Dave's persistence and empathy push Andrew toward transformation, while the cost is personal estrangement. Ultimately, confronting past wounds reframes their identities and test their friendship.
