Imagine, if you will, the absolute and unmitigated psychological harm caused to an individual who has built his persona, nay his identity, for the past year entirely of the coattails of a greater man upon whom he designated himself the role of archivist, proponent, and acolyte even after this great man has vanished without so much as a farewell for months on end. This pitiable creature advertises and identifies publicly as "the best of guy" for months on end for easy updoots, speaking endlessly of his unrequited acts of devotion to his absent master.

Now imagine that the master has stepped forward from from his shroud, and revealed himself to be naught but a homeless crackhead. Not only that but he publicly mocks your impotent efforts and praises the efforts of your arch rivals, the dreaded Unreal Army, as the true heritors of his artistic lineage. What would be left for such a man, if 'man' is truly the apt term for such a deracinated creature? No hope of redemption in the eyes of his wayward God, no mercy from the Discord tranny hordes... no, you already know his fate---a yawning hellmouthed eternity of seethe.
