Kill Six Billion Demons

So if an angel was thrown into that machine, would they become insane? Would their time as a cocoon wipe their memories of it?

Would a devil's mask be shattered from it?

And I guess the most important question- is a machine actually doing something to Allison, or is Jadis using her powers for this display?

Prim, after some time, began to grow tired of the road.

She had become accustomed to it, in the way that the shapes of her body fit its grooves and whorls in a kind of tired obedience. Her feet were hardened and calloused from years of walking. Since leaving her father's house, she had done nothing but walk. Even though prim was very small and white, and had very small hands, she was not like the soft and tender-footed maidens with full stomachs that populated the crepuscular palaces of the outer realms at that time. She was wiry and dust-blown, and bent constantly towards the horizon.

On her travels, Prim had met many sages, warriors, and poets. She had traveled through many realms, and trod across the soil of many lands. Through it all she had summered with princes, taken refuge at countless hermitages, and even lived as an errant musician for a while, sleeping tucked into an attic in a many hued city, shored up with the intoxication of youth and the faint warmth of drifting and forgotten friendships.

And yet, all that was behind her. The road always pulled her back, making rapid past tense of everything, gobbling it up like a starving stray, and she was sick of seeing it. Her heart was glad to be free of the iron cage of her childhood, and yet it longed for a resting place, a nook in which to nestle until the soreness could drain from her body.
She began, then, to wonder where the road ended.

– Prim Masters the Road

Every update I'm more and more interested in seeing how this exchange plays out. Allison's gotten some heavy trauma from seeing nothing and I legitimately am wondering if/how she's going to recover from this.

Prim came to a part of the road that was well worn. The path split and furrowed into pleasant little runoff trails, that twisted and snaked their way through groves of gently rustling trees. The undergrowth was thick and green and warm with insects and flowers. Prim felt some of the tension drain from her body and she rested a while under a tree, feeling quite relaxed.
After a while, she took a short and refreshing nap, and awoke to the distant voices of travelers a short ways down the trail. When she went out to greet them, she saw them clothed in white, and their faces and features were quite nondescript, as though washed in the ocean a while.
"Hello sister," said they, "Who are you?"
"I am called Prim, who was the slave of Hansa, and now slave of the road," said Prim.
"You are in luck, sister," said the white-clothed people. "This is the end of the road. You are free!"
Prim gazed past the travelers through the treetops to see a broad and verdant valley, spotted with the trim rooftops of innumerable houses, each sporting a neat little plume of smoke. It looked like a very nice place to be, and Prim's heart burned with a certain kind of longing she had not felt in a long while.
"What is this place?" asked Prim.
The travelers looked at each other, as if it was an odd question. "This the valley of Eternal Life," they said. Prim was taken aback, as Immortality was one of the Three Forbidden Punishments. Seeing her expression, the travelers laughed stupidly, as though they had stumbled across a small and confused child.
"Don't be so shocked," said one of the travelers,"it's true! Nobody knows want, hunger, or sickness. Our days are spent tending our gardens, talking to our neighbors and families, and praising God, who has granted us this boon. Death does not touch us here. People are neither born, nor die in this land. Our needs are cared for and the land is pleasant and green. What else could we want?"
"You should join us, sister," added one of the travelers, "as God is good, you will know nothing but happiness in this valley."
"Can you leave?" said Prim, who had an expression like she had tasted something sour. The travelers looked at each other in confusion. "Of course not," said they, "why would we want to? It is impossible to leave the valley."
"What else do you get up to?" said Prim tentatively, "Other than praising god, tending to your gardens, and talking to your neighbors?"
The travelers were very confused indeed, and seemed to think this was a very odd question. "Are you happy?" added Prim, as if this would help.
"Yes, of course," said the travelers, smiling blithely. The expression on their faces was hard to read, but to Prim their words came out like a warm paste. "You will know nothing but happiness in this valley."
"This land is terribly cursed," said Prim, and moved on.

No alt text for this one boys, and, if I'm being honest, it really doesn't need any.

So just to be clear, do we think that Allison saw Jadis' entire life as part of her vision? Jadis thinks that anyone who understands existence like she does would agree with her. But, has anyone ever understood Jadis as well as Allison does right now? Or will, once she recovers a bit…

Yeah, I figure if Allison saw everything, however briefly, she certainly saw Jadis' life during that. And given that Jadis apparently can't see herself (or at least her own mind, if the alt-text is to be trusted) than Allison might have a better understanding of Jadis than anyone else.
