* '''Deconstructed''': Bob realizes that he's in a show, and comes to the realization that as a fictional character he doesn't truly 'exist', [[YouCantFightFate everything is up to the whim of the writers]], and eventually [[EndOfSeriesAwareness the series will end and he will cease to exist]]. This drives Bob to [[ExistentialHorror depressive nihilism as realize how meaningless his life and actions actually are to the story in question]].
* '''Reconstructed''': The other characters eventually reassure Bob that even if he doesn't truly exist and he doesn't have true free will, his actions will still ultimately have an impact on the viewers watching/playing/reading the story, and he is ultimately important to those immediately around him. Although it doesn't completely drag him out of the horror, [[TheAntiNihilist it's enough to make him realize he should enjoy the time he has while he still has it]].
