never getting over it. reghabi and cobel being pitted against each other as they climbed lumons corporate ladder, two genius women, spiteful and determined. finding solace in each other, matching each others frequencies. cobel telling reghabi about her mom. reghabi peeling back lumons layers, realizing how irredeemably horrible it is, thinking cobel will be by her side as she tells her her plans to quit. cobel being promoted to severed floor manager, growing distant from reghabi, believing she's sacrificed too much to walk away with "nothing". reghabi quitting, cobel never hearing from her again. until petey kilmer dies, and the rumor spreads that he reintegrating. and cobel knows. you see it you see it you see it

Mark got severed as a form of passive suicide, to stop living his life as much as possible without actually dying, and severance was enough of a reset for Mark S to develop a will to live. the lighting when they're arguing (Mark cold and pale, Mark S warm and rich) - Mark S is Mark's dwindling will to live given life and form.
Mark claiming that severance is helping him, Milchick saying the happiness will trickle back up to him - it's true, in a way, but you don't get a free reset on grief. you don't get to undo every self-destructive thing you did to yourself because of it. severance is an awful thing to do to yourself, a permanent wounding of the body and the mind, and if you don't embrace the self that it creates, if you don't care for that self, for yourself, well. then your will to live becomes his own creature with his own thoughts and feelings who will turn around and choose himself over you
if Mark S had stepped through that door, it would have planted an irrevocable seed in his brain - love is conditional and not worth it, autonomy is conditional and worth surrendering, self-destruction IS the answer. Mark would have continued to reintegrate, and that seed would have kept growing into festering poison. it would have infected everything - his relationships with Gemma and Devon and Cobel, his relationship with himself. his suicidality would have taken permanent root, and it would have never had the chance to heal. and how could it heal? he's torn himself in two, and he has a hole in the back of his skull
