This is only true if everyone reading the image has problems moving material from short-term to long-term memory.

I've always wanted to run a Rick and Morty-esque Dungeons & Dragons game where the characters are asynchronistic / from a non-D&D universe, and are aware that they're stuck in a game that only exists in the minds of the players. Their main role, apart from surviving, is figuring out how to continue existing, or escape the game altogether. Meanwhile the D&D universe, as usual, is going through some fucked up shit with monsters and evil assholes.
I haven't figured out a mechanism for how they might be able to "escape" yet though lol. Maybe defeating the BBEG sends them back to their own universe somehow?

After besting the BBEG, they discover a set of plans for 3d printable minis. You could print/order them printed and have them ready to hand out after the campaign, or if its a long-distance game, distribute the 3d files so the players can print them themselves.
Bam, they're given physical form that can persist beyond just memory. Monkeys paw-esque twist: they can now be used for other D&D campaigns with more monsters and evil assholes.

Don't worry, Ralph. It won't hurt. You won't even register it happening.

Fortunately, Ralph is functionally immortal as the rolling concept of Ralph gets re-instantiated every single time a new hand touches the beacon.
He may be afraid, but his fear will only end when the human race does, or when his concept has been completely removed from our memetic lexicon.

"I'm scared," says Ralph.
But I am an author, and take control of this story. Ralph does not understand fear. His existence was short, his history nonexistent, his understanding of the world and his place within it unreal, characterized by the agony of going from non-being, to screaming awareness all in an instant.
The author has returned Ralph to the imaginary realm from which he sprang, freeing him, and any unwitting victims who witnessed his short, confusing reality.
Truly, the only monster here was the first narrator, a casual god who created Ralph only to serve as an instrument of suffering.

They don't- they figure out how to send copies of themselves back, but the originals can never return.
Allows for closure and for the characters to persist in the world for more adventures.

But don't we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.

If there's nothing left of Ralph, had he ever even existed to begin with?

A lovely fate for our friend

If I constantly start and stop thinking about Ralph, is the end result some kind of existential waterboarding?

Ralph, you privileged piece of shit. You don't know what fear is.

Ralph is a character, not a person. He never existed in the first place.

Every Ralph you think about after you stop thinking about the previous Ralph is a new Ralph, completely independent from the previous Ralph event.
Is it genocide if you are also creating the Ralphs that you kill?
