=== Couch Potato === Someone who has fallen so deep into a pattern of consuming media (TV, video games) that they have partly lost touch with their humanity.<ref>“He collects ’em. The Aware. People who get caught up in urban legends, who get caught up in routines like channel surfing and playing video games until they lose their humanity, people who get mixed up in Other stuff more than usual. Owns some apartment buildings and just has like, one building with fifty apartments, each with one weird person. Or whatever.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/08 Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.7]]</ref> One example was a TV-watching old man who no longer sleeps or eats, and is glimpsed in the reflection of nearby televisions.<ref>“Many are passive,” Nicolette said. “Some are problems, but there are residents like the old man who has fallen so deep into the pattern of watching television all day every day that he’s stopped sleeping, stopped eating, stopped using the washroom. The most hassle he causes is that another resident might see his reflection in their televisions when they’re turned off.”<br><br>“He can’t be helped?” Avery asked. “They all can’t be helped?”<br><br>Alexander shook his head. “In the case of the couch potato… no. Too long gone. Others, maybe. But their landlord, my colleague, he has a claim to them. You’d have to get past him to figure out how much help they need or don’t need. Then you would have to figure out the solution. Most don’t get past him to even begin to address the other points.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/15 Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.8]]</ref> Another example may be Nibble who progressed to the point he became a [[ghoul]]
