Thought licked her lips. "I cannot hate you for that." She bowed her head. "I am so sorry. I love him, though. You must understand. I didn't mean to hurt you and I swear if I could undo things I would. AJ... he is my everything. What you are doing is nothing but cruel."

Except Fantastic had vanished, so he couldn't.

Tom only sobbed on the ground. "Why? Why couldn't you accept me, as you did before? Why..."

But Fantastic has vanished into the same place as Lunamor.

Cursing herself, Thought crawled over to Tom. Forgive me, AJ, she thought. This had to count. She leaned over and kissed Tom. And she found that she meant it. Something within her knew him, even if she didn't.

Fantastic had died, and had been there. But he'd vanished away from it.

He'd appeared behind Star, before Bozo got there. He vanished Bozo as soon as he appeared, fixed the hole in the void, then vanished himself back.

Thought felt stuck between worlds. Tamika knew this and she wanted it. But the part of her that was broken and needed mending... That part screamed. AJ would come. She would be loyal to him. Wouldn't she?

Bozo reappeared next to Jaywalk. “I couldn’t do it...”

”It’s all right. There’s nothing more we can try.”

Despite herself, Thought continued to kiss him. She just wanted someone who would take her. She loved AJ, but he had never felt quite comfortable when she had her Shard. "Why do you love me?" she found herself whispering.

Tom looked into her eyes. “You complete me, Tamika. You make me a better person. And I, you. Or at least, I did.”

Thought shut her eyes. But I am not Tamika any longer, she thought. "Please take me out of this vision," she said. "I can't stand it any longer."

“It’s not a vision, Tamika.” Tom looked at her, earnest. “It’s real, I told you. I’m sorry. I…”

He jerked once, and his eyes clouded with darkness. Then the moment passed.

He bent over on his knees and sobbed. “Please, Tamika,” he whispered through the tears. “I know you’re in there somewhere.”

Is she holding Thought right now?

Posted

Yes she is. Star is... Star is me. But not. Star doesn't make sense anymore.

"She is," Thought promised. "I can feel her. But... I am not the woman you fell in love with. I would kill myself if this were true. But it's not. It's not real. AJ will come for me any moment now."

Posted

“Wait,” Jaywalk said. “There’s one thing I can do.”

He reached out to AJ’s mind, whispering memory and rememberance. Star could not suffer this much for nothing.

”Your love is in danger. You need to help her.”

AJ is confused. His love was right here, with him, at his table.

He ignored it, and went on with his dinner.

"No," said Tom, begging. "NO! It is real! Be yourself, Tamika!"

"Tamika is dead, Tom," Thought said. "She died when I first Ascended. There is only Thought now and she loves AJ. This? This is what you think is real. You've deluded yourself. I know I did love you once before in another life. But if you really wanted her, you should have gone after her. You didn't. Now put me back in the cell. AJ is coming. I know that."

“Go, AJ. Look out the window.”

On a side note, the story got real depressing, but this is some quality storytelling. Excellent work, Narrators.

Thought had figured it out. This place was just a figment of Tom's imagination. This was what he wanted. He had forced himself to believe it. 

This will all resolve when Bean appears. And he will. I promise.
