    Summary

    Okay, I'm stopping.

    Three exhales until the smell of burning flesh dissipates. The room smells again like Perihelion’s MedBay, sterile and sanitized, every inch of the walls and floor meticulously cleaned. Pain still sears around its back, crackling like flame around its hip and up its spine. It suppresses a shudder.

    Query: Is it over?

    No, I've barely started. You sound like you're dying.

    -

    During a procedure to remove a logo in Three's organics, Perihelion stumbles onto an issue with Three's pain sensors.

    Summary

    John realizes what’s happening on the sixth loop.

    In retrospect, it’s fucking embarrassing that it took him so long to figure it out—that this isn’t an illusion, and it’s not him finally going mad, and it’s not a dream or a trick or a torment devised by the King to fuck with them. It’s not like he doesn’t know that time is as malleable as clay in the hands of gods. The Dark World taught him many lessons that he’d like to forget, and that’s one of them.

    It’s just been a little hard to concentrate when Arthur keeps fucking dying.

    .

    When John decides to stay with Arthur as he bleeds out on the King’s plateau, he expects them both to die. Instead, they find themselves brought back in time to the first moment they stepped onto the plateau—and Arthur has no recollection of their confrontation with the King. John soon realizes that they’re stuck in a time loop that restarts every time Arthur dies.

    Summary

    The thing that Arthur remembers the most from the first time John consumes him is the darkness.

    He’s blind, of course—the complete sort, where there’s never anything but nothing. Still, when Arthur casts his mind back, all he can recall is how the world grew somehow, impossibly, frighteningly black. Blacker than black. The sort of black he imagines one might find at the center of a great, yawning void. Madness-inducing black.

    .

    Or, in the Dreamlands, John discovers that he’s able to manifest physically. This is not without consequences for Arthur.
