especially if the ending was that both of you were already in a simulation

or if the "conversation" was actually the beginning of the process and
after a lengthy debate in which you reject the whole idea and walk
away you are merely simulated as walking away and the simulation is
run until your inevitable death and you are none the wiser.  Those who
take the red pill are allowed to access the new world, their minds are
completely blown and the pieces flutter down into the collective.

By "into the sunset together" you are talking about the literal end of
the star's fusion reaction, right?
