Mr. Marbles

Mr. Marbles is a cat whose presence was registered during the "5 AM Starbucks?" episode. He exists in the archive not as an active participant but as an environmental constant — a domestic fixture within the streaming space where Psyche and guests conducted their discussion on internet culture, AI, and technology.

Mr. Marbles appears in the record as an ambient presence rather than a narrative force. His role is subsidiary to the primary conversation threading through the episode — a background detail in a "casual, chaotic streaming session" where the human participants were engaged with matters of internet personalities, technological development, and cultural discourse. The cat's function within the episode architecture is environmental: he grounds the stream in domestic space, in the mundane reality of a home broadcast, contrasting with the abstract theoretical terrain being discussed by the hosts and guests.

Mr. Marbles exists in the recorded space shared with Psyche and the episode's guests (including Alex), but no documented interaction or relational dynamic between the cat and any human participant is established in the archive. His presence is territorial rather than relational — he occupies the same room, but the substance of the episode flows around him.
