Kierkegaard would buckle under the pressure of confrontation and cower away in some cave, rocking in prayer.

Nietzsche would hammer his ideas at the others until the realization that the entirety of his doctrine keeps getting rejected because it is inconsistent and structurally flawed, then he would go on a rampage and bludgeon Wittgenstein's head with a rock.

Hegel would keep his cool make a fire, judging the rest incorrigible.

Stirner would buddy up with Nietzsche until realizing that he's batshit, then he would begin plotting on how to cannabilze the others.

And Wittgenstein would cup his hands over his own ears and begin humming, because he's fucking autistic.

He was known for his biting wit, he supposedly made his peers cry with ease.

All accounts suggest he was actually a quite level headed person until his illness.

Kierkegaard is trapped by a rock in the cave for 16 hours. When he finally is able to emerge, he sees that half the island was burnt down following an escapade between Stirner and Nietzsche. Hegel's bloody corpse is banged up next to a rock, and Nietzsche's charred body near Hegel. Stirner is nowhere to be seen, and seems to have abducted Wittgenstein while he was in his comatose state and fled. Kierkegaard stumbles over to a series of nonsensical equations and sentences Wittgenstein scribbled in the sand earlier. Kierkegaard looks up to see a new batch of survivors being dumped on the island: Camus, Sartre, Diogenes, and Hobbes. Hobbes has a scar on his eye and a knife, and is slightly in front of the other three making their way on the island.
