Anti-Alias

Whether you flatten the world into binaries, or allow for nuance, complexity, and blurry edges.

Sayre Quevedo and Connor Quevedo and the Distance Between Them

High fit

Anti-Alias controls whether you flatten the world into binaries or allow for nuance and complexity. Sayre Quevedo and Connor Quevedo each have a clear binary about the other: Sayre sees Connor as a judgmental hobo, Connor sees Sayre as a judgmental normie. The story tracks the moments where those sharp edges soften — when Sayre hears real excitement in Connor's voice and calls it 'sweet,' or when Connor says he'd be more hurt if their father was mean to Sayre than to himself. Those are moments where the binary loosens and something more complicated and human comes through.
