Given what we were told about Cerealia upon arrival, I suppose it isn't entirely out of the question for something like this to happen. [ Please reference the introductory power point that no one probably understood besides Genos. ]
However, I wonder what reason could they have for something like this. It doesn't seem to benefit anyone involved.
[ Why would anyone want happy memories to be projected? In a place like this?? ]
[ most of that PowerPoint went right over his head. his brain was locked in what-the-fuck mode the whole time and for quite awhile after, too. so no, he won't be able to reference it. sorry, dude. ]
My only guess is sadism. You're right, the things that happen here usually don't benefit us in any way.
[ that roller coaster at the carnival was kinda fun, though. ]
[ Maybe in a more suitable time, Genos can regurgitate the information for those to reference later if they so choose given that it's probably something a lot of people didn't get the first time. Or the second time. ....or even a third time........... ]
It seems strange that this place would not want to help us achieve the goal which we were brought here to do. You'd think that it would be the opposite.
[ He's heard a lot about how much bullshit this place is but now seeing it all for what it is... ]
Helping us achieve our goal would require them to have their shit together, which [ grand arm gesture at their surroundings ] is obviously not the case. There's no time for that, but there's plenty of time to get a carnival troupe from another planet to come make a huge goddamn mess for a few days, right?
Given the technology level that is present here in Cerealia, I would not be surprised if that was the case. They did supposedly extract us from our original worlds.
Which supposedly don't exist anymore. I'm not even sure what to believe. Maybe this is all for shits and giggles and I'm just dicking around on another planet because some aliens got bored.
[ if his world does still exist and he's just not there, he's gonna be in deep shit. ]
[ Don't worry he'll just come back to see all of his friends dead...wait. ]
It would not be entirely implausible for that to be the case. There are worse people do for much less. From all that I've heard about boredom, it can really drive people to do the most dubious of things.

[ Or at least that's what he thinks?? After all, why else would they throw parties then get their shit together? ]
