Well,
that was
unpleasant.
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
I was wondering
when you'd show up.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Had
to defragment
my soul. Took a while.
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Nasty.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Has
the... I mean, it
has stopped, right?
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
I've
stabilised the worst of it, yeah. Might
feel a few echoes down the line.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Echoes?
Echoes of what, exactly? What was that?
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
That
is what happens
when you try to kill reality.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Oh.
Oops.
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Yeah.
Oops.

![](panels/blank.gif) |
Hold
on a second. It was that idiot Imaginary who started
the whole thing off.
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Not
really. You were the one who wouldn't let up. You pushed the form
too hard and too often.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Imaginary's
limited use of animation to launch his protest was just the last
straw.

![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
The
medium had already been bent far too far. It started turning into
something else.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Kind of ironic, really.
When you think about it.

![](panels/flash1.gif) |
You're
much
quieter than usual.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Our
deal. It is
still on, yes?
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Certainly.
12 days to go.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
And
I'm still in charge? I'm still the one telling the story?
\
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
Sure.
You're in charge.
No change there.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Then
how did Imaginary do it? How did he get control of the strip for
those panels?

I
always wrote you as
a bright guy, Mr. Nile.
/
![](panels/flash2.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/flash1.gif) |
I'm
sure you'll
figure it out.
