    wait a moment, i agree with the description.
    haven't we been here before?
    Is our perception of time correct. or is it a mere illusion on which we try to grasp upon not realizing that to do so is in vain.
    or perhaps we have been before, in a different time and situation, different, but not entirely unlike this.
    whatever maybe the case, there is one thing that is true, it is Lee Marvin's 30th birthday.

      Evil Betty That’s the thing, we don’t know what will happen, and neither does he. He might not be as certain as he seems that it will end the cycle. He could simply wake up at 5 AM again with the cycle still going. Maybe when he kills himself he causes a split in the time line he’s in, a timeline that was the result of other splits in the timeline caused by other Marvin’s doing the same. Maybe his death will lead to another apocalypse. Maybe he is unique to this universe just as Carlos may be to Night Vale Proper (no dark planet), and his death leads to the apocalypse or some catastrophic event. The possibilities are endless
