i am on the verge of falling asleep so don't blame me if i'm onto nothing but if you think about it val and carson are both nameless characters. but she had her name stolen from her and replaced with her purpose ("valuable") whereas he willingly gave his away in order to replace it with something that granted him more power ("press secretary"). and we never get to find out their real first names because the people those first names actually belonged to died way before either character was even introduced

#blah blah blah the death of the self for the body to be repurposed etc etc #they parallel each other so neatly #in a way that's almost like. val as a character exists as a projection of carson as a character #the difference between being hallowed out and being hollowed out or something idk #they're both dead inside and hiding a deep well of emptiness behind a mask of eloquence and politeness #tsv #the silt verses #tsv spoilers #tsv val #val tsv #press secretary carson #carson tsv #tsv carson
