    Summary

    “I told you, Theseus.”

    Tommy tried to bite him, but no matter how hard he bit down he couldn’t puncture Techno’s skin. Techno lifted him up and, just like he jumped off the railing, jumped out of Tommy’s window. Wilbur was following close behind and Tommy would guarantee Phil wasn’t far either.

    “I told you I wouldn’t fail.”

    Summary

    "Eyes that last I saw in tears
    Through division
    Here in death's dream kingdom
    The golden vision reappears
    I see the eyes but not the tears
    This is my affliction.
    ...
    Where, as in this
    The eyes outlast a little while
    A little while outlast the tears
    And hold us in derision."
    -T.S. Eliot, "Eyes That Last I Saw In Tears"

    ----------------------------------

    It starts with the ruining of Tommy. (Coincidentally, this is also the death of Dream.)

    Somehow, it ends with the healing.
