It's Muffin. We arrived back at Unikeia's place to await whatever is coming. Dr. Malice is right. Unikeia and, as a result, most of her servants seem afraid. My guess one of the last two Ne Timu is mounting some sort of attack. There haven't been more incidents like the one Dr. Malice reported but we're pretty sure it may happen again. Attempts to question Unikeia have been fruitless. She seems to want to tell us but every time she starts to speak she seems to lose her nerve.
Regardless my post today isn't so much about that as about another strange meeting I've had today... It wasn't Jack this time it was... Well something that shouldn't have happened.
I was walking towards my designated room and as I reached for the door it suddenly opened inwards. The door opens outwards normally. I looked out into a vast empty city but not for long. My amazement at seeing The Empty City before me was overcome by my amazement at seeing myself standing in front of me. He seemed surprised to see me too. I stepped back to let him come out but he didn't.
Other Me: Can't set foot in this universe. Part of the agreement.
Me: What agreement.
O. Me: The Empty City wanted to show me this universe. It brought me here but said I couldn't set foot inside. Something about not being able to properly manifest here and if I stepped out I couldn't come back.
Me: Makes sense... The Fears are all dead here. So The Empty City is probably breaking all sorts of laws just showing up here at all.
O. Me: So this is the universe where we succeeded?
Me: Yep. We killed The Fears and doomed the universe.
O. Me: Shit really?
Me: Worse then that... We killed Megan...
O. Me: ... Tell me everything.
We spent the next few minutes telling each other what we know and what's been happening in our respective universes. Eventually he started fading.
O. Me: Thank you... I think I know how to fix things in my universe now... Good luck... I'm sorry.
Me: Me too...
He disappeared then... The door closed. I opened it outward went into my room. Oh to explain. While it is an airport Unikeia has modified it heavily. I believe my room was once part of a coffee shop... Anyway . I went inside thinking deeply about the conversation before falling asleep and dreaming about the universe I had just learned about... A universe where Megan was still alive and The Fears still had power... Compared to this one that seems like a paradise despite my other's problems...
