Meatgirl comes to learn many sinister facts about the Coalition. They have conducted many cruel experiments on countless beings, and have injected massive amounts of a dangerous substance called "Corruption" into her body. The world outside Toyland's doors is doomed, but the Coalition refuses to save it, in the name of some unfathomable greater good. And they are so amazed by how splendidly Meatgirl's body tolerates Corruption, that they wish to induct her into their Coalition right away.

--> '''Meatgirl''': Well… Because everyone else in this godforsaken world is probably thinking the same thing about themselves. Nobody else thinks they’re good enough to save the world. We sure as hell aren’t good enough, yeah, but if we don’t save this world, who else will?
