[ * AS REAL EDDIE IS IN THE DREAM REALM , EXHAUSTED , HE WHISPERS : ❛ Nothing feels real now . ❜ ] — — — It watches , knows , and there has been a burning present in itself since that tragic moment . It can not name this sick sense . [ UNDERSTAND , YOU UNDERSTAND ; HOW THERE ARE STRANGE SHAPES WHO WILL FOREVER FOLLOW YOU , KILL YOU FOR BEING AN INHUMAN — ] The gli- gli- glitch tries to ignore the lingeing pain and looks over to Eddie . Sad gaze meets the endless emptiness within him , where was once hellfire and fun fantasies . ( Gone , as the rest of his hope , dead as he will be too soon if the question is still left unanswered with the truth for much more longer . ) It sits beside @intrepidity .
SLOWLY , CAREFULLY , IT HOLDS HIS HAND . It tries to provide him something that it gives itself when no one else does . ( Knows how to with a thing like it — ) ❝ I’m re- rea- real , ❞ it whispers back , recalling the first time it met Eddie in the distorted dreams as now , where nothing is real and nowhere is real and no one is real except for you and I — ❝ I’m here . ❞ Offering Eddie a meek smile , it gives him a gentle squeeze , a reminder that he is not alone now . Not ever again .
❝ With you . ❞
