I was just thinking that everyone who is recognizable to their high school archetype is probably part of the problem.

literally, if all someone does is move along the rails after high school, they likely suck.

the only people from high school who aren't fucked in the dome 20+ years later, are the people who are wildly different humans now and have some life path that can't be quickly understood without interpretation.

also, the people who just plain vanished and don't have any socials could probably be cool.
