About Combover:
The main point here is, despite your earnestness and best efforts, you’re not fooling anyone. But we’ll play along. The social contract must be upheld, I guess. Is this a moment where we both recognize the awkward mortality that reveals itself in each of our bodies and the frail attempts at defying death? Do these subtle gestures of subterfuge make folks more human, or are they less due to their having augmented reality?
