It's like Ralph. The largest genuine improvements in his life happened when he was in jail/immediately after getting out and he's been spiraling back down ever since. Sometimes the best medicine for people really is to be isolated from society and forced to readjust to reality outside their little bubble - the question is whether Chris is actually capable of stepping a toe outside his delusions anymore.
For ease of understanding, The Merge/Dimension C-137 (Because Idea Guys/Rick and Morty or something) is really nothing more than a bastardized mutation of Chris's escapist fantasy he's had pretty much since his activity started getting tracked, originally being CWCville.
That established, it's safe to assume Chris won't ever let them go. Before this past weekend, Chris already was pretty much in
heavy denial of reality. He had no job, was stuck in a shitty house taking care of his elderly mother (who I might add he'd been trying to foist off onto Cole for
years so Chris could shed the responsibility and go continue his Love Quest), his glory days long past him, and his favored franchises were all moving on despite how desperately he didn't want them to change. He also had spent time claiming he was
possessed by Sonichu, earlier still claiming that he had developed psychic powers like the ability to move paper with his mind and moreover
fucking fly, and had weirdly grasped onto Hyper Neptunia or whatever it was called, making himself a video game console goddess of the Commodore 64. The Merge was the thing he was looking forward to because he had nothing else actually to look forward to in real life.
Thus, why would he let go of his dreams of impossible grandeur, of the omnipotent life he always wanted where people actually
like him for who he is, in favor of the shithole reality that is, y'know,
reality?
tbh i think its much more likely they throw everything possible at him than let him off ez if theres any funny business in court
Unless null is using that GFM money ...
No, Null had all the money returned after he discovered Chris was lying about the money stolen from Barb's accounts.
