Just joined up, reading this recent update made me sad all day.
Here's what I ?think? (well, hope) will happen.
Based on THunt's tentency to call back earlier dialogue (e.g. Sara puked it) I like to think that when Minmax said
"I'll kill you twice!" it wasn't an empty threat. I'm hoping for a dramatic/emotional death here, Minmax going batshit and totalling Psimax, ending in a TPK and a maze reset... dunno exactly how that could pan out though...
...only to find out (like others have surmised) that our FMK's counter has been swallowed in an oblivion hole.
We won't have to see everything pan out a second time, it can be assumed that they'll kick ass in most rooms thanks to their intact memories. Instead of being a typical maze race, this run becomes a new and faster-paced challenge with the goal of thwarting Psimax once and for all, and/or escaping the MoM before it is swallowed by oblivion.
Personally, I'd love to see Psimax tossed in an oblivion hole...
Thus fulfilling his second (and permanent!!!) death at the hands of Minmax!
Now, more realistically?
I'm just hoping to Herbert that Kin will survive somehow. Even if she does end up an amputee... Gosh... *sniff* RUNS INTO CORNER AND SOBS.
