You moved, did as they said. The scale of the weather was enough to encompass both of you. Two on the old bleachers, surrounded by the patter of rain on long aluminium seats, a perfect pair of strangers slowly soaking through to their centres.

Summary
Neither of them are very good at this, are they? For all they want to help each other, they’re not very good at being helped. They’re the kind of people who keep going as if everything is fine, who keep pitching as the world falls apart around them, who keep running as their body burns away.
It’s the siesta. Can’t they learn to stop, for a while? Stop and let themselves be helped?
(Three scenes from the Patterson-Gloom apartment during the Grand Siesta)

Summary
Elijah Bates and Hobbs Cain get along pretty well on the bench. They're not great players, they don't have a rivalry, but they keep each other company during the games. But Elijah is pretty sure those barbed jokes are becoming less sincere and more affectionate, and it sure seems like they're making more and more excuses to talk to each other... It's a good thing nothing could happen to change that! Nothing Bad Ever Happens To The Moist Talkers!

Summary
“You came back to life so fast that you couldn’t remember how to be a person. For a moment, for hours, you just lay on the ground, gasping for air like a fish on the floor of a trawler. When you finally get your bearings, you’re in a forest. It’s quiet, not in the way the void was quiet, the stifling feeling of nothing closing around your neck. It was just… peaceful.”

Summary
Dot sips their tea. “The best analogy I can come up with is that the giant snowglobe we're in is about to tip upside down, crack, and start letting the snow fall out.”
“And we’re the snow.”
“Well. The players are the snow. Someone wants to shake them out.”
They follow Dot’s gaze upward. “I was afraid that would be the case.”
(A glimpse of what not-quite-life has been like in the black hole for Dot and their family)

“It’s coming back.” Someone said, and they sounded… afraid. Excited. Resigned. “After all this time, after everything.”

Summary
What do you say to someone who is you and yet not, someone who was torn from their world while you got to (mostly) stay in yours, someone who has to take your place in this deadly splort and leave you even more powerless to protect anyone, someone who’s been forced into the impossible task of trying to live up to a legacy you were originally forced into all those years ago?
Dot certainly hasn't figured it out yet.
(A story about Dot trying to deal with the consequences of staying in their own world, working at becoming a pitching coach, getting advice from some old friends, and bonding with Alto.)

Summary
They're not even close to mastering moving between dimensions, if mastering such a thing can be possible at all. But they understand it a lot more than they did when they frantically clawed their way back into their own world, and that worked, so why not this? Maybe it’s not about knowing how to get somewhere, but knowing exactly where you need to be, and having the desperate will to keep stumbling towards it with all that you are.
(So many years ago, Dot was saved by their team's faith in the Monitor. Now, with their newfound abilities, they're determined to somehow return the favour and see their team safely to the Hall.
Fortunately, they've got plenty of help.)
