As long as the changes were being made to our memories, it was plausible to argue that this was some sort of hypnosis, something done by Retrospec to our brains. However:

1) The experiment to disconnect from electronics that may be affected by Retrospec returned no results. We still felt the effects while disconnected.

2) This "shrinking" and the holes in reality cannot be explained by hypnosis. They are very real.

At what point do we begin to question the fabric of reality itself?

I don't know anyone who's seen him in person.
It's possibly that he's lying, or, as you said, very good at it.
Or that he's not stalking us in person.

But if he's not stalking us in person, how is he stalking us? I don't think he's hacking security cameras from around the city because I definitely got some pictures in place where there were no cameras!

Remotely controlled microdrones?

Woah, really? Are those real? How are we supposed to find and stop him if he's using something like that?!

I didn't say he was. It was merely a theory.
Thus far, I'm not aware of any actual examples of the technology.
But surely it's more logical than an invisible cameraman following us around and being undeterred by locked doors and windows?

Honestly, I think my sense of what is and isn't logical has gotten skewed after all of this. I really can't tell if tiny drones or invisible stalkers or... camera ghosts, or anything like that is THAT absurd.

Fruit have faces and we were the size of mice.

Rationality is under assault.

Exactly! So how do you rule out what is and isn't plausible any more? We may never know the answer! And that's terrifying!

I'm not sure.
But I also don't intend to dismiss the concept of logic entirely, tempting though it may be.

Well, I guess eventually we'll start to notice a pattern and figure out the limits of what CAN'T happen, but as for the list of things that can:
-They can change our eye or hair color, or even what languages we understand.
-They can make us all tiny, and even worse, make it so no one else thinks it's weird.
-They can retcon an entire species.
-They can apparently follow us around without us seeing.

I mean, what's the logic here? Is there really anything you can think of that they probably can't do, if they can do any of that?
