GEORGE:
In this series we’ve treated plague as a character.
We’ve treated fear as a character.
We’ve treated rumor, policy, numbers—characters.

Today I want to treat the audience itself as a character.
Not a passive crowd.
A living organism.

WILL:
Yes.
A crowd is not merely many people.
It is one creature with many hearts.

GEORGE:
And after plague, that creature is wounded.

WILL:
Wounded—and hungry.

GEORGE:
Hungry for what?

WILL:
For company.
For permission to feel.
For a story that does not lie to them…
but also does not crush them.

George -  What the plague did to the audience before they even arrived
Let’s build the world they were walking in.
Your city tracked death publicly.
Bills. Lists. Tallies. Numbers.

WILL:
Yes.
A city reading its own obituary in installments.
