You oughtta feel unnerved I could explain why but you're gonna think I'm crazy Just like most of this town is gonna think you're crazy if you try to explain blue and green to them
Obviously being on the app means you can recognize all the abnormalities that come with being under Retrospec's thumb and living in a weird unstable space where fruits suddenly start smiling and dancing And horses become replaced by giant birds But once you're off the app, you go right back to being clueless about everything You won't even be able to remember that the app exists Much less the probable truth that everyone on this app and maybe even everyone in this town is a specimen preserved from other worlds that have already been destroyed Your friends won't be able to talk to you about important stuff the same way anymore And in fact you'll only seem like a shadow of your former self
[wow, just send him a wall of text why don'tcha. ]
So the... app itself is able to manipulate our memories both of current events involving Retrospec, and of what are presumed to be past events? That sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, rather than real life.

Basically
You get used to it

I'm not sure if it getting used to things of that magnitude is a good or a bad thing.
