We would've noticed it happening in action by now if it just faded like that.

...Do you think we're falling off the app right now?

[ James is surprised by how small and scared he sounds at the idea of that. It's everything he's wanted for years now, to just fall off the app and go back to a normal life. But so much has happened and he's changed so much that the idea of it is honestly scary now. He has no idea who he'd even be outside the app anymore. ]
