         â â- câmooooon, fordie. you know itâs a GOOD DEAL. âÂ
     ââ& it is, for a tiny, fragile sack of flesh and brittle bones like him ! mortals are just so BREAKABLE ; whoever came up with the DESIGN and thought it was ADEQUATE ought to be shot on sight, in his humble opinion. or, perhaps, given a warm handshake â if their intent was to be a TOYMAKER, not a GOD. but, back to it ; for STANFORD PINES, it really is the best deal in the universe. not only does it mean his own SURVIVAL, but ascension â ELEVATION from one of seven billion humans to one of THEM. ( it also means escape from whatâs likely a fate worse than death ; bill isnât going to be HAPPY if he doesnât GET what he came for. but all thatâs just TECHNICALITIES, no ? )Â
     all itâll cost him is ONE LITTLE UNIVERSE. thatâs not so high a price, is it ?Â
          â your own galaxy. a lifetime supply of LIFETIMES. infinite power. â& all you gotta do is give me that equation. just takes a HANDSHAKE. âÂ
clockwork brain, synapses act as second hands & minute markers instead of transmitters for love & hate & humanity / this is a sacred, devilish calculation ------ eyes harsher than the ambition of god, burnt into his very core like a brand, marked with darkness, one eye, one sense of presence, gilded by an unnatural gold, blossomed from some hell / some plane of twin dimensions. the start of refusal lurks in his throat & in his mouth, ghosting across his teeth, the harshness of a ânoâ echoes like the prayers that he once whispered / the angel - eldritch singing in maddening tongues, lapping at him, pulling at his synaptic cognizance: asking him, who are you ? THE FOOL.
A GOOD DEAL. in whose perspective ? always, yes, of course, in billâs: perhaps, one of a selfish intention would agree ------ & despite fordâs self - preservation, he has learned a selflessness / pseudo - selfishness with the presence of the twins, & so this, this becomes a test of wit & emotion. the ânoâ, so eager & ready to erupt, to explode in a brutal glorification, is slowly dissolved by the slow process of catalysis, a single possibility in thought, manifesting as some cruel mockery of hope & survival. HE COULD SAY YES, he could make bill regret it.
his mind makes its decision, the ânoâ wails in agony at the back of his throat before it is slaughtered, cut apart at its own guillotine. the anger upon his features withers, as though he learned to contemplate & reached a revelation. a somberness remains, haunting every angle of his expression, as he worries if he has damned himself or saved them all.
â ------ if i say yes, it will be under my explicit conditions. â & the unspoken: at this moment, cipher, you need me more than i fear you.
