    Summary

    [Ha… Ah?]

    The fist opens. Hand turns. Fingers twirl. Again. And Again. You watch with mounting horror as your hand moves on its own, the actions becoming more frantic, more jittery, your chest starts to heave, stomach muscles spasming.

    (Loop–)

    [Stardust–]

    They’re in your body. They’re in your body.

    Or, after experiencing hundreds of grueling loops, Siffrin suddenly wakes up 3 months before they even started, on a bed in an infirmary, bandages wrapped tightly around their newly missing eye. Loop is there with them, too.

    Summary

    You can… you can still fix this. If you can just muster up enough want, you, both of you can come back from this.

    “You can’t come back from anything! Hundreds of days spent in stasis, in your own personal handcrafted hell, an ice cold inferno – you think you’re the same person you were before you laid down on that meadow?”

    Or, trauma changes you, often in ways that leave you unrecognizable to even yourself. Now freshly out of the loops and rough around the edges, Siffrin with the help of their friends has to navigate not being the person they remember.

    Summary

    There's something wrong with you — on a deep, fundamental level you can't see, hooked somewhere between tissue and formation, between organ and muscle.

    Fine. What now?

    Summary

    End-of-life dreams and visions (ELDVs) are usually a comforting phenomena happening to those about to pass away. Sometimes the dreams themselves are what you should be worrying about.

    Or: What happens when you dream of a place that doesn't exist?

    Summary

    It's loop... 86, you think. Or, no, you touched a tear, and this is the space between loop 85 and 86.

    There is an eye. You think, this symbolism is awfully heavy-handed. Around the eye is a shade you've never seen before. It's bright and vibrant and striking, and shines in such a way that is nearly blinding. You shield your own single eye.

    It gets ever closer, bearing down on you like an expanding Sun, dying. "HEY, I SEE WE'RE BOTH IN A BIT OF A PICKLE. WANNA MAKE A DEAL?"
    "what?" you manage to choke out of your strangled throat, finally.
    "WELL, YOU'RE IN A TIME LOOP, YEAH? AND I'VE BEEN UNFAIRLY IMPRISONED. YOU'RE TRAPPED, I'M TRAPPED, WE GET EACH OTHER."
    The eye widens.
    "WHAT IF I TOLD YOU," it says, "THAT I KNOW HOW YOU CAN GET OUT OF YOUR HELL?"

    ☆👁☆

    You talk to everyone at the end, and then you go talk to the Head Housemaiden. Euphrasie. You go up to her, and you ask her about Wish Craft, and—

    And nothing changes.

     

    You lay in that blinded clearing, and stare at the sky.
    Bill appears above you. He blinks.

    You hold out your hand.

    "Deal."
    "DEAL."
