She sighed and slowed a little to matched his velocity.

"Well, that was embarrassing . . ." she cringed.

He laughed. "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll forget about it. I won't tell anyone. Plus, it could have happened to me just as easily. --I could do it if you want, if it'll make you feel better."

She shook her head. "No, it's fine . . . it's just embarrassing, is all. I don't know why I even care . . ."

She sighed and closed her eyes, content to just drift.

"Well... it's nice that you care about things," he said softly. "It's... I dunno. It's encouraging, I guess."

She sighed sadly.

"Yeah. It's hard sometimes to . . ." she trailed off, eyes still closed.

"To... care?"

" . . . To . . . find the energy to care. The motivation."

He boosted a little closer and took her hand again, squeezing it. "That's okay too."

She was quiet for a moment.

"Sometimes."

"Sometimes. Yes. I think it's okay a lot more than you let it be." He squeezed her hand. "We'll care about things for you if you need to just float for a while."

She felt some of her miserable feelings from earlier creep back in.

"Thanks," she whispered. "That means a lot."

“I don’t know what you need,” he admitted. “But… but you’ll tell me, right?” He sounded hopeful.

Her face scrunched up in pain a little.

". . . Maybe. Maybe- I don't know-"

Oh scud, was he making her sad? 

“I’m sorry— you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. Hopefully I’ll be able to tell when something’s wrong…”

She sighed, her features relaxing slightly.

"It's . . . not you. I'm sorry."

“No, Tam, don’t apologize. I… probably shouldn’t be so assertive. I’m sorry.” He made a mental note to find some books on how to be a friend at a library or something.

"No . . . seriously, I just . . . I don't know how to trust people, y'know?" she said quietly.

"Like, I know how to trust them, but I don't know how to . . . trust them."

“That was why I suggested it. Is that acceptable, Malevolence? I can bring you back to life if needed.” @NameIess

Rebus ignores Bacon’s outrage. “Because I’m running away from me, and even with the Plotblade I’ll eventually figure out how to Narrate Rebel out of existence.” He shrugs. “That was meant for your Author, regardless. Responsible was perhaps the wrong word. I meant something closer to helpful.” 

"Ah! Well, if you like I can take you right there, I suppose. It would certainly be the fastest option."

Subversion grabbed the reports and read through them as quickly as she could.

The first report detailed the account of one James John Jones, Senior, who reported having memories of a sister that did not exist. Reportedly, she had been named "Grace Jones" and had been a professor at the University of Universes.

"It's a place. Or a collection of places. A whole bunch of universes together in one chaotic jumble. Chaos is the name of the game here, really."

“I… I think I know what you mean.” 

He was kinda surprised to realize that, actually. He did know what she meant. Believing and feeling were two different things. 

“Can I hug you anyway?”

Sequence waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, I'll be fine. I can still defend myself if needed. Plus, I'll have you and Aelinor to protect me!" She gave Unintelligible an enthusiastic smile, bending over to pick up the picnic basket and waving for Aelinor, who rolled her eyes.

"Alright." Unintelligible said. "I suppose it won't be too dangerous to go talk to one of them. I think the crazy Narrator lady would be best. Think you can take us to her?"

Subversion's eyes widened. "Her too? What's next, you'll tell me X's avatar never existed?"

She hugged him back tightly.

There was something beautiful about this, he decided. About drifting in an empty expanse of stars all alone with a friend. With Tam. 

He couldn’t even see the warehouse anymore. He was sure it was there, a little speck, but he didn’t bother to search for it. He didn’t want to find it, anyway.
