T-Rex: This story takes place on a world much like our own...
T-Rex: ...but in a UNIVERSE in which everything is SO CRAZY!!
T-Rex: See, in THIS universe, Earth is the last planet to develop life, and everyone else has already evolved into shimmering beings of pure energy that can travel spacetime at a thought and are capable of things we can't even DREAM of!
Dromiceiomimus: So we're functionally alone in the universe.
T-Rex: YES!
T-Rex: But check out what's going down my OTHER story, where Earth is the FIRST planet to develop life!
Utahraptor: Huh!
Utahraptor: So we're alone in this scenario too.
T-Rex: No - because in this story the Earthlings eventually evolve into shimmering beings of pure energy, and you realize "OH SNAP, THESE WERE THE ALIENS ALL ALONG AND THIS IS A PREQUEL TO THAT FIRST AMAZING TALE!!"
T-Rex: You then go on to realize "MANY SPECIES MUST NAME THEIR PLANET A VERSION OF 'DIRT', A CONCEIT THAT ALLOWED T-REX TO TRICK ME, VERY FAIRLY, INTO ASSUMING THE 'EARTH' UNDER DISCUSSION WAS THE ONE I'M FAMILIAR WITH".
T-Rex: To answer your question: yes, the realization IS in all caps.
