PART 4 - YOU SHOULD COME WITH ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD
I think we've been suppressing it.

  what?

Whatever is causing that rumbling.

I think we need to go back to our bubble.

  are you crazy

Just... trust me on this one, okay?

Besides, we'll be doing it on our turf, right?

I think that what we think there will have the most power, more than anything.

It should be okay.

  ...alright

  if you insist



Rumbling! Come forth!

OH. FASCINATING.


NOBODY HAS EVER CALLED ME FORTH BEFORE. THAT IS INTERESTING.

...what are you?

I AM ENTROPY.

And what are you trying to do?

AS ENTROPY, I MUST PUT THINGS TO HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FALL.

AS HAPHAZARD AND UNABLE TO PREDICT AS THAT MAY BE - THE UNPREDICTABLE CHAOS.

THE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN TODAY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE. THEY DID NOT HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE, SO THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED NOW.

MY INTENTION WAS TO PROPEL YOU OUT OF THIS DOOMED TIMELINE. I SEE I WAS TOO LATE TO NEGATE ALL OF ITS EFFECTS.

...oh.

So you're here to send us back?

FOR NOW, YES. MAYBE LATER THAT WILL CHANGE, BUT FOR NOW.

  well okay, that's what we want, too

  i wish we had known that earlier

THEN CONSIDER IT DONE.

Wait! Wait, wait wait.

  what is it

...can you give us 20 minutes?

  huh? why?




Megaphone, have you ever wondered if you would be dressed to go to your own funeral?

  what's your angle

Should we not take this opportunity to be here, in death?

Together, the two of us?

  we don't know what's happening here

Exactly!

And if we're going to walk into whatever happens, we should at least be confident.

We're standing at the edge of time and space, and we're not going to ever be here again, unless we die. It's a rare moment.

So would you join me for this waltz?










  you look nice

Thanks.

...is that just the magic bow that you got? Are you trying to wear it like a bow tie?

  well, a, you didn't realize until just now, and b, this is the only bow that i can remember ever wearing

  gotta make it work somehow


...heh. You're such a dork.

  yeah, i know. you too

I always hoped I'd look pretty at my own funeral. Just had the feeling.

  die young and leave a nice looking corpse

Heh, right. Maybe I don't plan on going that far.


This moment is nice.

Even if we're gonna die soon, or forget about it, or whatever it gonna happen once we finish walking towards our impending doom.

  do you think we'll still feel it

Hm?

  you know, that tv trope thing

  where people forget something but they still feel the emotions of how it felt

  if we're alive, of course

  though i guess if we forget about it then that's basically dying a little bit, right

I hope I remember this moment.

  me too
