Absolution & Area X/Southern Reach discussion

Kris and Rian lose themselves in Area X for the final time (maybe?) while discussing Absolution by Jeff VanderMeer, the absolutely-definitely-final book in the Southern Reach series. Kris has props, they both have beverages, and yes, they discuss THAT scene.

Spoilers ahead for this one, folks. Buckle up, it's a bumpy ride.
