wake up

CorpSet

You both start furiously trying to wake each other up, but nothing works!

Pal3000: That isn't going to work.
Pal3000: You can only wake up if you die in the simulation, or if enough time lapses for you to wake up in the real world.

DESMODENA: dammit!!!

Pal3000: Unfortunately we've found that time doesn't work very reliably within the human subconscious. A few hours in the real world can feel like minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even years here. It can even flow differently for different isolated subjects, if you don't have a common reference point as you do when you are together.
Pal3000: I'm sure you don't have TOO much longer to go here, but who knows.
Pal3000: I could also kill you in order to expedite the process, but unfortunately that route is probably less pleasant since you would still experience the pain that comes with it.
Pal3000: It would also make me sad.
