There's nothing different about Mort's appearance, but somehow, he seems depressed. His squeaks are muted and curt, as if he is also struggling. Thanatos is like when he came back to work after his Sisyphus assignment. He is focused on doing only his job right now.

Mort doesn't say it aloud, but he doesn't know what to do. Thanatos is broken. He needs to be fixed. But how?

"Is that all?" Thanatos asks when Mort goes quiet. "I'll return Mort to the cabin, so he's safe."
