Katy reflects on a long-held fantasy of how she envisioned facing the apocalypse. She imagined herself on her rooftop, blasting R.E.M.’s “It’s The End of the World” while observing the chaos below. However, the reality of the situation fell far short of her idyllic plans. Instead of feeling empowered and cool, she finds herself grappling with the gravity of the moment.
The sense of inevitability weighs heavily as Katy acknowledges the drastic changes unfolding around her. It dawns on her that humanity's actions have led to this scenario, and she feels a deep sense of responsibility for being part of the catalyst for this catastrophic event. The contrast between her fantasies and the harsh reality leaves her unsettled and uncertain.
