What if I were to make an AU for Abe and Townsend being self aware of sorts? Like, they know none of this is real, but the rest of them don't. They would work together on trying to get the rest of them to become self aware of what's really going on.. It would probably be based solely around horror and derealization. Abe would be the first one to know what's really going on, and then he'd go to Townsend and tell him, which of course, Robert doesn't believe him at first, but then Abe explains everything that's been happening, and shows him the routines of absolutely everything, that's when it clicks and Robert agrees to try and help Abe to get everyone else out of the dark and in the know. But they know it isn't going to be easy. In fact, not at all.
Every good fandom needs an honorary ’i know the end’ edit that’s just how it works. Please go ahead and direct all hate to @tallmadgeandtea it was her idea I am guiltless (kidding ofc). I fear I will be getting jail time for this and having my editing privileges revoked. But I simply had to do what must be done.
Please watch until the end. I spent my entire spring break working on this and nearly caused my phone to overheat.
