Episode 13 of FM Module is a poetic tribute to the black hole. The “unlucky” number 13 is not the focus here: instead of darkness, chaos and destruction, the episode mostly dives into the matter of entity transformation.
The black hole is terrifying yet alluring. Bending space and time, it can bring one’s dreams true: for instance, it can let a person exist in two places simultaneously. It doesn’t only consume; it also emits. It doesn’t only destroy; it also saves. It doesn’t lead us to the void but — perhaps — to a parallel universe. The black hole instills the fear of the unknown into our hearts, and it remains the zone of wonders.
