CHAPTER FOUR411Please respect copyright.PENANAX9uSA4Kdmf
411Please respect copyright.PENANAN3iiSEj05M
Kirby Hayes stares right at his older brother with a growing fire, an unquenchable thrill, until Ishmael the German Shepherd woofs. They have made it off the planet. They have lost a fistfight with each other. They have stopped and survived a disastrous car wreck together. They’ve ping-ponged their first scandal, leaving Kirby banged up for the wear. And it’s just day one. But Viggo is the one who has somehow made it out on top, unscathed, above the law, and absolutely dominating Skyden. How his brother’s achieved it, Kirby has only begun to imagine. Money? Politics? Loyalty?411Please respect copyright.PENANAtbqSm06oyd
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVOVsm6X0tS
Iris Frisk’s wondering the same thing, seeing Viggo prowl like a bristling animal. The interns watch him toss a manila folder in a trash can and snaps a lighter. He sets the trash can on fire and says, “New curriculum.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAfuKrYkbiiB
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf9fTMzbbG7
“HOLY SH--” Maverick explodes at something on his phone before glancing at Madeline’s little girl. “Cheerios...”411Please respect copyright.PENANAPc0kkO39z6
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJozurr7KcI
Madeline gives him a tired thumb’s up as Dr. Fanfare hands her coffee.411Please respect copyright.PENANAPUIQ2BohUI
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe2nyDa8xwW
Simone snatches Maverick’s phone, eyes widening at the news, and screams. She grips her mouth, “You guys just came out from that wreck?! How are either of you even alive?!”411Please respect copyright.PENANAmwEJBYWxfT
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZb6JxA2W5J
Viggo raises scratched hands, “That’s a hoax.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAOgzJXsQt3D
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIBXg4TpVD9
“Ooh,” Maverick shows something else to Simone. She gasps and hides a smirk.411Please respect copyright.PENANAaESIA5tkXc
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhRM7fH6Hkc
“My gosh, Kirby,” Simone points at him. “Keep your pants on.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAAcy0AuR4vh
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkdB49WQR4H
Kirby makes abrupt and awkward laughter. Madeline cups Ruthie’s ears.411Please respect copyright.PENANADEPLQ7Jtkv
411Please respect copyright.PENANALipUbCobD7
Simone and Maverick go seriously quiet at something else. No longer laughing. Viggo demands the phone to be handed over. They get jittery but he insists nothing would happen to it. Viggo blinks at the latest news, processing it as calmly as he could. He hands it back to Maverick and shoots Kirby a glare. He signs too casually: Nice. Playing the deaf card, you little bitch. Does it feel good making your brother look like an audist in front of the world? 411Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qv3ZyG8ic
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGFUD7n9q
Kirby sucks air through his teeth. Iris becomes concerned when she hears that.411Please respect copyright.PENANAJm6aoUqrPn
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV7y467WeFH
Viggo announces to the room, “I propose we ban phones from all future meetings. Saves us the trouble. What do you think, Dr. Fanfare?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAMpIpTko6Hu
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlKynSMjzyQ
July stammers for a minute, studying the interns before asking Viggo, “Oh, have a little pity, will you?” She gestures to the others with timidity. “It’s only the first meeting. Perhaps we can let them off with a warning. For now?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAbMQQw3j7WC
411Please respect copyright.PENANA87WtbdWcPD
Viggo can only grunt at her wisdom.411Please respect copyright.PENANAOLxVJ7aBe4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPRl8naCZQC
“Here’s a pro tip. If you really want to be a successful writer,” says Viggo with rambling hands, “or actor or producer or insert job title here, there’s something else you got to be. You have got to be a business. An icon. You and your name must be a brand.”411Please respect copyright.PENANADd33HFJ9co
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9pVLfh8ZV1
Kirby imagines it. His name pops up in his mind as some kind of a summer fuchsia splash, a super fun and mini-sized invitation to a beach party at sunset. He remembers seeing Viggo’s as neon orange and black metallic with a razor sharp edge.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbSFy56CtxR
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0zvyqKVIaZ
“Branding is psychology and sociology behind marketing magic. I mean real subliminal stuff. If people can recall your image, people can recall your message. That fits the profile Pegasus Studios always looks for. This is your mission and your first assignment: look like a superstar. Today.”
The interns gab about how awesome their brands are going to be.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlPBUWHcj61
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2VASWXBt3L
“Skulls,” Simone Chaput insists. “Tiny, tiny skulls and diamonds everywhere.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAANE9AOmIfd
411Please respect copyright.PENANAffSGDGdnSP
“Nice!” Maverick Clark nods. “Mine’s gonna have bricked gold.”411Please respect copyright.PENANATZahdB2XwG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiEEeR6Xugf
“You like teddy bears, Ruth?” Madeline Desjardins asks. “Maybe puppies.”411Please respect copyright.PENANA4UzjRF9rpl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGRH18ZpyqY
“A big puppy bear!” Ruthie smashes small fists together to her mother’s delight.411Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ZsWk1pqU
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuBl1lH0XEW
Walking over to one of the globes, Viggo opens a latch. To everyone’s amazement, he presses a button. Hollow clanking roars through the walls. Kirby could sense that. The rumbling grows nearer. The interns look wildly about to see where it’s coming from. Paranoid of the superimposing compass for a domed ceiling, Madeline holds Ruthie’s hand as they huddle.411Please respect copyright.PENANAL6EyQJpaLD
411Please respect copyright.PENANALQa67S04Om
A silver glossy pod rises, spiraling up from the floor, before three others do.411Please respect copyright.PENANA6cMveSRWZb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWOfD5g08Ji
They’re humongous dragon eggs, Kirby thinks. Might have come from an Apple lab. The pods emit a spreading chilly fog and then beam a celestial white light show. The name MyHAVEN is impressed into their shells along with their barcode version indicating the latest of its kind. Ruthie, Simone and Maverick make oohing and ahhing noises. Kirby stands on his toes to peek inside them.411Please respect copyright.PENANAQklom8lGwg
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyHPz2iv3H4
There’s roomy black chairs with gel support and wired black sunglasses that’s hooked up to the machine. Rainbow striped lights scroll down the inner walls. If they were a game console, Kirby is sure they’re the coolest he’s ever seen. Gnarly.411Please respect copyright.PENANAF5U57aNXny
411Please respect copyright.PENANAB44jB62vy6
“The most effective marketing tool for the best of the best,” Viggo explains. He gazes into the wide eyes of his interns, obscuring a fox-like smile. “As you’ll come to know, nothing seems as real … as virtual reality. That is why it sells.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAghaotD4pUs
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFxHYV8aIbJ
“Last month, Professor Taylor purchased these four MyHAVEN pods and had them installed here for your internship. Twenty grand per model, but they came in a bundle deal for seventy five k instead of eighty k. I know, I know, it’s pretty cool. Any questions?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAsWemqNSusj
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoxUxw4VOmQ
Iris raises a hand.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlDnGxOArB4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeDc7sF18ot
“No questions I see,” Viggo rushes along.411Please respect copyright.PENANAsVS9xULqVl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfq6epeuwKs
Iris slams her table with both palms with angry puckered lips. She addresses the room, “In fact, I do have a question!”411Please respect copyright.PENANAmPVfN6qXB2
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8r4PyPW0lw
They burst into laughter. She asks the question but Kirby misses it in a blink. Don’t panic. He looks to his brother to see what he says. Maybe he can still figure it out. Viggo makes an obviously annoyed eyeroll. He does respond to her but not with one word in sign language. Kirby’s mouth slacks as nothing comes to mind. Is it worth the trouble?411Please respect copyright.PENANA5LqzPSDdqB
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ0I6qmGyh
Iris shouts something back but it’s dismissed. She sits down.411Please respect copyright.PENANASf0iqKUeMh
411Please respect copyright.PENANArYfkRahiPS
Kirby texts Iris: Huh? What was your question?411Please respect copyright.PENANA4tnZ2tM6IG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPNIbmWZKqA
Frustrated, she texts back: Why would Prof Taylor go thru what he did after a big investment on us? V says it’s an inappropriate topic. We’re not in a class in criminal justice. He says fame can be nasty, that it’s not all glitz and fun for everyone. Whatever.411Please respect copyright.PENANA4AZI3jmqcb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKIuWD0bseY
Viggo claps. “You should register with MyHAVEN and when you’re done, type my first name in the search bar. Viggo. My profile and logo will pull up; you should be able to see it. Take your time. It’s a real mind trip. It’s up there at Inception level. I am going to set each pod at a two-hour tour limit. After that, the meeting is officially over and you are all free to go. So ! Are you ready to see... what real branding looks like?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAV3qXCtVtJY
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgO9lZS1eqf
“Can I do this another time? Or never?” Madeline declines as she goes through her bulky bag. She brings out a book for her daughter and a binder for herself. Viggo looks at one spot, getting peeved. “I don’t feel comfortable, I guess, going ‘under’ or going into people’s heads. And I-I’m not taking my eyes off my Ruthie here.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAHWMd04yofc
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwAUke10aSa
“Yeah,” Iris agrees. “I’m sitting this one out too.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAmNQ6vC4vHr
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2pYLty41EW
Viggo replies, “Iris.”411Please respect copyright.PENANA7cifrUzqBs
411Please respect copyright.PENANAm6m9i9Q1Kk
“Miss Frisk,” she happily reminds him.411Please respect copyright.PENANAnKeqpt73tG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWSJIruc7Fp
“Miss Frisk, we’ll talk in a minute,” Viggo says, gritting his teeth and cringing. “Miss Desjardins, since this is the first meeting, you get a warning.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKAjuBpac
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWIPVA32LTF
The room goes still and all eyes rest on Viggo and Madeline.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbiBxlqAGqE
411Please respect copyright.PENANANBuAuUT0eO
“As cute as she is, and we all love her, you can’t bring her to the meetings.” Madeline nods painfully. “We need your focus.” She nods again, even harder. “Have you looked at daycares or babysitters? I know of quite a few.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAIcOUjaVIPG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE1VqN6SxFF
Madeline sips from her venti mocha and gulps. She stammers, “Um yes, I have, Mr. Hayes. We should find at least one that we like by today, I’m sure? Right, Ruthie?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAJyZoUEy1lE
411Please respect copyright.PENANAphQGuxvkOk
The girl fakes a vomiting sound, to everyone’s scattered laughter.411Please respect copyright.PENANAEst0gXrepb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIBkJwOcD
“You can leave now,” Viggo chuckles.411Please respect copyright.PENANAqe5skW9IvF
411Please respect copyright.PENANARs09SomblC
“Okay,” Madeline says, putting her books back into her bag. She looks put on the spot, humiliated, like a pathetic struggling single mother. Kirby feels bad. Viggo’s clearly being discriminative with her. She gets out of her seat, taking Ruthie’s hand. “Come on.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAXLuLStzydl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAezAYMVZpSn
The Desjardins leave apologetically before a loud coffee spill.411Please respect copyright.PENANAtbgrZ7tu5B
411Please respect copyright.PENANAq5FppDeTYO
“Someone will clean that up,” Dr. Fanfare calls after her.
“Come on down,” Viggo tells the rest of the interns.411Please respect copyright.PENANAP9w7kdHj1l
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuTjIjDI3wJ
Fantastic. Simone and Maverick leap from their seats and hurry down the steps while Kirby and Iris amble on. The pods hiss, spraying them with faint mist. Viggo assures them that the worst thing that could happen is falling asleep. Kirby doesn’t believe him. But what real choice does he have? Viggo decides for the group that Simone Chaput, Maverick Clark, Kirby Hayes, and Dr. Fanfare are the four participants while he and Miss Frisk will have their moment of privacy.411Please respect copyright.PENANA0KmrB3egRB
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEYk5EhjjGY
Wonder how that will go.411Please respect copyright.PENANAhepD7POama
411Please respect copyright.PENANARJsx6BLSth
The four step into their egg. Kirby feels already relaxed, body-hugged by his gel recliner. Bathed in rainbow lights, his breathing turns shallow. What if something goes wrong? Something won’t, but what if it does?411Please respect copyright.PENANAjAcDFVqfvm
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVLIkCQAPZF
His heart starts pounding. Anxiety’s back. He can just see it. The pod spirals down, the floor swallows him up, and this ends up his weird flickering coffin. Trapped under the floorboards deep; hearing nothing; not knowing when to scream. Should he just climb out now? Before it’s too late?411Please respect copyright.PENANA1cccH7B256
411Please respect copyright.PENANACd04m3L25w
Chills crawl down Kirby’s arms to his feet just from thinking about it.411Please respect copyright.PENANA1IO6mkaJBK
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjjkU6Wx66c
Viggo sets each pod’s timer at two hours except for Kirby’s. He says: I hope your bladder is okay. I’m setting yours up to four hours.411Please respect copyright.PENANAHOGljldLvP
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1uyyVnlfC4
What!? Kirby wheezes, tensing up.411Please respect copyright.PENANAelSvz4e9Iv
411Please respect copyright.PENANA04jT27G87U
Relax! Viggo pushes him back down in his seat. I’ll join you after everyone has gone. Got to look like I am in charge, right little bro? I have a lot to show you. You’re going to have fun, I promise. You know how I keep my promises. 411Please respect copyright.PENANAqFTxvFSdU5
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHvagnaqJAi
Kirby feels sick to the stomach. He checks his phone. It is roughly 9:30 AM right now. He imagines that the interns would be gone by 11:30 before he would by 1:30 PM. Somewhat late to lunch, but he won’t miss it. Four hours don’t sound that bad, he thinks it over.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbcHimEfBdd
411Please respect copyright.PENANARRVecK0Lob
He could barely shrug and nod. Good enough for Viggo who does a small wave and returns to Iris and Ishmael before the egg closes and locks. It seals shut.411Please respect copyright.PENANArSNJf0MALb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvgtkZWrme1
Kirby runs his fingers over the lines, almost not feeling them at all. He locates several vents and breathes easier. Just keep cool. Nothing will go wrong. The rainbow lights cut to a dull gray. He fits the black sunglasses over his worried, shifty eyes. All he sees is a warm fuzzy black screen with incredibly high resolution.411Please respect copyright.PENANAwQNXKrosPh
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvBbVznEgrQ
Then with a low whine, MyHAVEN fades in with an eerie glow. It is loading.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvcTMfqXyDo
411Please respect copyright.PENANAw1mPvKHLcX
He takes a few minutes to register, typing his username as Kirby-Hayes. The egg does a full body scan, firing like a child’s laser gun. As it zaps, he shouts “Whoa!”411Please respect copyright.PENANA52gkpJ5sID
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjILK7oBoYg
An avatar that is an exact replica of him appears before his eyes. He marvels at his twin who acts too freely to be a mirror. Kirby adjusts his avatar’s clothes to a sharp tux resembling his brother’s. Call me lazy. Instead of orange, he goes for ghostly fuchsia. That’s enough decorating, he’s decided.411Please respect copyright.PENANABgTNBUQ4G4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzKEIBgGf3q
He types in Viggo’s name which brings up at the top of the list, just above Viggo Mortensen. It’s not in alphabetical order, but ranked by popular searches. Of course, I shouldn’t be this surprised but for some reason, I am.411Please respect copyright.PENANA4onH2xuMrd
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj32Dc2MVVw
MyHAVEN cuts to the same warm black screen with a gray side menu on the right. He sees that there’s options to choose from like going to his Profile or to Exit entirely. It is loading. He sees the empty horizontal bar fill up with billowing smoke.411Please respect copyright.PENANAQE5b3JOiH8
411Please respect copyright.PENANATUSAIlQXHc
Soon, he will enter this world of Viggo Hayes’s design.411Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pf77ygfwb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAF0kZ14E0vt
Oh god. Is this such a good idea? Kirby holds his breath, assuring himself that it’s only in his head, that it should be safe.411Please respect copyright.PENANAWBggF10hlN
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwOImvnDFwV
Darkness splits, doors sliding open and revealing the vast galaxy.411Please respect copyright.PENANAMsgBkfibXp
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zLCAeQda
Trillions of stars, all around him and underneath, welcome him with nothing propping him up. Oh my god, it’s loud with heart-stopping howls. His legs scramble through nothing and start kicking frantically. It’s no use. He falls.411Please respect copyright.PENANATT20kS9ZTF
411Please respect copyright.PENANATeUdNRLXIA
He spears headfirst to the bright nearby Moon. Hundreds of craters and thick moon dust await him one mile below. Heavy layers of wind collide with his body and rise. Whoosh-slap, whoosh-slap, whoosh-slap! 411Please respect copyright.PENANAqxXTxdlkdf
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1VWkvWgsZ9
When the interns skydive in formation with him, cheering and laughing, he realizes he can hear their echoing voices among the other unearthly noise. There’s a deep background of sounds, and he’s deaf to none of it.411Please respect copyright.PENANAYjfBoYt8UH
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwiDV3Alt2k
Kirby clutches his head with agony. I don’t like this.411Please respect copyright.PENANAeasnoM6cO1
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5fTw7xspwy
He struggles with the explosive wind to lean his body in closer to the interns, preferring to be closer to them. It’s different from seeing them together in a hallway or in a rosewood study. This time, they’re skydiving.411Please respect copyright.PENANAJbzwNMbCBA
411Please respect copyright.PENANAS3NBw8UNkf
Despite that they’re falling to the Moon, there is at least unlimited air. He gasps it all in and breathes out. This is okay. This is epic, this is soothing, and this comes with a youthful essence. He tells himself as outrageous as it is, it’s still a lucid dream.411Please respect copyright.PENANA6NKL7A5ESH
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYjgg9gmCQb
This is Viggo’s dream, Kirby starts to understand. This is what his mind looks like. The Moon approaches dangerously near. His heart wants to leap out of his chest right now.411Please respect copyright.PENANAazy2SnqFov
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwV39zmqwDF
Kirby notices a gleaming multiplex theater smack dab in the middle of the white desert. He careens there, somersaults, and lands softly with a thump in a dune. He bounces off and hops, startled from the feeling of how the ground hit his feet. Too real, he thinks with terror, smelling the bitter gunpowder. This is too real for me. I want out.411Please respect copyright.PENANAK75EIzebn2
411Please respect copyright.PENANAceKLuO1QZs
Simone Chaput lands, showing off her dark black skin in her blue filigree dress. She wears a silver wig straight and long enough to rustle at her eyebrows and naked shoulders. Her heels stomp, sporting two diamond human skulls that cradle her toes.411Please respect copyright.PENANARbYUv4q4Zd
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ph5FaFOuI
Maverick Clark lands, showing off the world’s tallest punk hair. He rocks his erectile crest back and forth like a pink cockatoo and riffs at his invisible wailing electric guitar. He’s dressed from head to toe in heavy black clothes and boots with pink earphones that blink eyes and grin at other people like cartoon characters.411Please respect copyright.PENANALJCE3T6XVe
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsCPVZjhBwp
Dr. Fanfare lands and bounces besides Kirby. Her white grandma hair is tethered back in a loose bun. She dusts her same vest and blazer from before, coughing up a storm and laughing. “Now I can finally say that I’ve been to the Moon! Yahtzee!”411Please respect copyright.PENANA4fTOUacrb4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIlduh3xLpt
But Kirby is hardly happy or can stay coherent. He gets dizzy. People are chattering and overlapping too loudly, and the multiplex theater is playing deafening music. What a migraine. Kirby’s head feels like it’s about to burst. He finds the Mute button to toggle. Sweet, sweet silence! He sighs orgasmically. The pain and nausea cease altogether.411Please respect copyright.PENANACnImObGJoI
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV6zIF7zcz5
And people wonder why he doesn’t just get hearing aids or cochlear implants.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUoXolRf0OI
411Please respect copyright.PENANAySU9bLbHsE
English subtitles spell out for him like magic, translating every word they say. He smiles. That’s perfect. This is good. I’m liking this already.411Please respect copyright.PENANA6eGoG3roj0
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYQfAgLya2w
MaverickClark: Look at that! This theater’s YUGE!411Please respect copyright.PENANAj3cNKCaYvP
SimoneChaput: I’m loving the red carpet. Ready for my close-up, fellas.411Please respect copyright.PENANAejBhAyGvDb
DrFanfare: You look sick, Kirby! 411Please respect copyright.PENANAXElkkPGGv9
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbO1T5NIrpL
He smiles and assures her he’s feeling much better now.411Please respect copyright.PENANA5ibpRkdEFo
411Please respect copyright.PENANAknoOOxAUab
Entering the busy multiplex theater is overwhelming. First, the reflection of the lunar scape in the glass door startles him. As Kirby’s hands wrap around the cold steel bar that is surely a door handle, his dress shoes scrape against the ridges of the metal door frame. He knows he is not here. He knows he has never been here. That doesn’t matter. Here feels like a physical place, and it feels wrong.411Please respect copyright.PENANAVjNPJcrKxr
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnfueGLLyWm
The rich aroma of buttered popcorn and kettle corn hit them like a wall. Crowds of moviegoers pack the place, standing in lines for twenty-dollar tickets to virtually real Pegasus films and all kinds of candies and sodas sold.411Please respect copyright.PENANAwGuTl4Oia7
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxIrgz5woli
DrFanfare: All that junk food, no side effects. No upset stomach, no acid reflux, no bacne. It’s genius if you ask me. 411Please respect copyright.PENANAIetXatFIU3
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd00APntCxP
It registers on Simone’s face.411Please respect copyright.PENANA12kZ5jIHXD
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0rQwP907nk
SimoneChaput: You’re right... This is a real theater, but better. 411Please respect copyright.PENANANq6d9luLh9
411Please respect copyright.PENANAihsqouB0VD
Maverick grips Kirby’s shoulder out of morbid fascination. They hug, which seems real and kind of a pleasant tingling.411Please respect copyright.PENANAEn7ZhUHdhZ
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ7dGvPwkb
MaverickClark: Sorry. Now I kinda feel perverse.411Please respect copyright.PENANA8qN3rZ1LNF
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuASwUj3wRX
“You should be,” Kirby mouths, getting them to laugh. He tries tapping his knuckles hard against the wall. It’s solid, and damn, it kind of smarts. Actually, it does hurt. He checks his avatar’s knuckles but sees no cuts or blood.411Please respect copyright.PENANAjb86e41UhD
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8HbOCN6K57
They approach an enormous banner, a poster, and a cardboard cutout of Sky’s Falling! It is decked out with a square version of Skyden, bombing and falling in pieces. It is an exaggerated, horrific doomsday for those onboard hurtling towards planet Earth.411Please respect copyright.PENANA1k8sAvDJzX
411Please respect copyright.PENANAF6YersMYHt
DrFanfare: I’ve never actually seen the movie, Sky’s Falling, yet. I heard it’s incredible! Have you seen it? 411Please respect copyright.PENANAqgxHcYvRvY
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwcDMuPSR01
Simone and Maverick eagerly admit they haven’t either.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ5b38oKKe
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaUNfhBPUUZ
SimoneChaput: I’ve been itching for an opportunity though.411Please respect copyright.PENANAApGkozgraL
MaverickClark: Especially here! And now! I’m so in. 411Please respect copyright.PENANAtK4tvWORZd
411Please respect copyright.PENANABQVN2NTAHp
Kirby blushes, not knowing what to say other than he hopes they’re left at least entertained. He hasn’t even begun to fathom how his screenplay would play out in virtual reality. That’s beyond 3D, that’s like 5D, isn’t it? He wonders. Huh.411Please respect copyright.PENANAPbfoi0Iv8F
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnmtlWF2z9i
He frowns at a camera slowly tracking him.411Please respect copyright.PENANA1pgsupfErv
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYVXpuYusyx
They spend twenty dollars and two hours through Kirby’s movie. He could hide and beam the entire time, proud of his only accomplishment. Even though he didn’t touch the movie or influence the final cut in any way like his brother had, Kirby has still locked down the credit of being the sole writer. It says “Written by Kirby Hayes. Directed by Viggo Hayes.” Kirby thinks it sounds better that way instead of “Written and Directed by the Hayes Brothers”. Everyone will start believing that Viggo will have relinquished some creative control when it’s far from the truth. Though the Hayes brothers thing still may be in their near future.411Please respect copyright.PENANAX1v4D9Rh43
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyhb0tK2dG9
Kirby ignores the dread of how much heartache he’s going to get from Viggo. He focuses instead on other moviegoers. The way their faces light up and their mouths collectively gasp remind him why he’s come here. I am going to get in Pegasus Studios. Kirby makes fists. I have to.411Please respect copyright.PENANAgoqVyQIdqY
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWOQJyI2Olv
The audience screams at last at the menacing part when the satellite city rips apart. Boom, boom, boom, a succession of flying bodies and metal scraps! Spinning debris fling down to Earth. They storm through the skies exactly the way they arrived to Viggo Hayes’s moon theater. They fall towards the tumbling ocean blue.411Please respect copyright.PENANAYjOKofC6ng

DrFanfare: Good job, Kirby! I loved it. Whoop, our two hours are just about up. Byebye. See you on the other side, everyone!411Please respect copyright.PENANAXrBX8xUuST
411Please respect copyright.PENANAa6rrbYliii
As Simone and Maverick dote him shamelessly, they murmur dazed farewells and log out with Dr. Fanfare. Kirby stays behind and can’t stop grinning like a fool. Even Simone would want to work with him now. This is a dream come true, a dream within a dream.411Please respect copyright.PENANA2MbQNFGTqg
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV5UGXeFHG1
He wanders through his brother’s world, the idle halls of his brother’s owned theater. Kirby can’t help but respect him. He sits back on a bench to rest his eyes for a second. Oh wait. He starts to remember. I could fall asleep right now. No wonder the others sounded so drowsy.411Please respect copyright.PENANAOJXikWarL9
411Please respect copyright.PENANA42I5s51a0W
Man, I have another two hours left to wait around for Viggo. I can’t simply leave either. He’d be livid from looking for me for too long. Kirby gets back on his feet, looking around the theater for a good distraction.411Please respect copyright.PENANAHHE5NdC1ib
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnJwupQ0myR
The popcorn stand catches his eye. He gets that funny feeling.411Please respect copyright.PENANAa66b1nqG2K
411Please respect copyright.PENANACxhOsJjJdg
Kirby makes it behind the counter, inspecting the area for something abnormal. So far, it’s a boring and greasy workplace. He becomes irritated with crunching over kernels. They stick to the soles of his shoes. Hmph, nothing.411Please respect copyright.PENANAjQsHhbItzi
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ6GdSZYfp
Thought there was something secret here.411Please respect copyright.PENANAV8GXznrysl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbau4l5GWHb
Another door catches Kirby’s eye. It would lead to the back of the theater. Tucking his hands into his skin-tight dress pants, he follows the empty hallway farther into what seems like a dark warehouse or a garage. The air gets colder. Moon sand is blown inside.411Please respect copyright.PENANAodQxFeLm4D
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUm0xIwX3Cb
“HELLO!” Kirby shouts freely.411Please respect copyright.PENANAmAXItWVBLo
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7U9ckcoNKM
The subtitles notify him that the shout echoes a dozen times before fading to a sad droning whisper. He pauses. That is a particularly creepy detail for Viggo to add in his world. What is this place? He looks among the shadows.
A distant thud echoes. 411Please respect copyright.PENANAAVXAKdvHvG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlXJqqG4LnT
To his horror, Kirby looks back. Nothing stirs.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvDH8BhXyUF
411Please respect copyright.PENANACMF59F1eWx
This place is still otherwise empty. His hand presses against his chest, calming his blipping heart. Okay, I think I’m getting out of here. He turns face and bumps into dangling feet.411Please respect copyright.PENANATi8Dn6WgzT
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ7h5P3tiO
He scrambles back from Viggo Hayes’s body hung from a red noose. Oh shit.411Please respect copyright.PENANAEPoIjk0kHK
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMEt2HS7O3X
His brother’s psycho orange eyes bulge, jaw open and aghast. Drool drips from his perfect white teeth. There’s not a finger twitch or a muscle clench, but the body looks real. And dead. The suit blinks orange like a Halloween tree. Kirby could die himself right now from the fright. It’s just an avatar, he tells himself.411Please respect copyright.PENANAnLUE2Dphj0
411Please respect copyright.PENANA13lf97932v
It’s just someone’s sick prank.411Please respect copyright.PENANAALVktufOEX
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwdS603N1SX
He gasps at the sight of a single bedbug on the cement floor. Okay, now he is sure something’s terribly wrong. Viggo hates bedbugs.411Please respect copyright.PENANAc9OHNjUDFl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnQIFQj1fxE
Kirby frowns. What’s going on? He’d never put that in his world. One bedbug becomes hundreds skittering and crawling from the darkness.411Please respect copyright.PENANAgBCR385aT5
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQU9961N6a6
Oh! He pulls back. Hordes of bedbugs stampede and flood toward him, becoming thousands and counting, drawn magnetically to the smell of his blood. That’s awful. He can’t get away from them. They smother his shoes, covering them completely from sight. Kirby moans and leaps back, stomping on them. But they continue to smother. He itches at his neck like a madman. Too disgusting. Too real.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvwEOStPqkK
411Please respect copyright.PENANAm9oTSx77FZ
A bright light bursts. A video plays, projected on one wall. It is dated earlier this year. What’s this? It’s the rosewood study, Kirby recognizes. He’s still there.411Please respect copyright.PENANAPs66YzlUgw
411Please respect copyright.PENANA61KGk1129B
Professor Taylor watches him from afar with furious, fearful eyes. He’s bearded with white hair, like a sea captain who’s now a dead one.411Please respect copyright.PENANA2TSaVUwu2U
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYhGrEvO6bs
DomTaylor: “Stop filming. I don’t trust drones.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAB7AeSLQ5VF
ViggoHayes: “Sorry, cap’n.” 411Please respect copyright.PENANAuKdHrVsGBD
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxB9nqHix9a
Viggo Hayes steers the camera until it lands across Professor Taylor’s large desk. Ishmael lopes over with protruding wet nostrils and sniffs. Kirby moans again at the swarming bedbugs that now creep up his legs. It’s not real. But his gut tells him that something about this video is real, and it’s something he shouldn’t be seeing. He searches for what that is.411Please respect copyright.PENANAFF4kVKoswv
411Please respect copyright.PENANArBwOeZa2Qi
The bugs reach his inner thighs. This is so wrong, he whimpers, but the bugs are nothing. Nothing! He clamps down his lips, watching the video.
Professor Taylor rifles through his manila folder.411Please respect copyright.PENANAEDd4D93xoj
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtCXciKZDmK
DomTaylor: “I’ve handpicked the winners by the way.” 411Please respect copyright.PENANARfzSEfTC4m
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmxihR30G4O
This makes Viggo and Kirby pause. He’s talking about the contest.411Please respect copyright.PENANAV5KxaYn54e
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFT8f9OmRvC
ViggoHayes: “Winners? There should be only one.”411Please respect copyright.PENANA3tAgXFPnbX
DomTaylor: “Oh, there’s one, publicly. The other’s a runner-up; her name won’t be announced but she’ll be one of the interns.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAprcdVWja7R
ViggoHayes: “All right. Who are they?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAC1go4x8Zyi
DomTaylor: “Kirby Hayes and Iris Frisk.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAZfnE4MUl2m
411Please respect copyright.PENANAq6QH3ibiWn
This makes Viggo and Kirby freeze. But Viggo looks a touch betrayed.411Please respect copyright.PENANApq4XlCuVT8
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzl7DeaFSO7
DomTaylor: “What’s the matter? Thought you’d look more pleased.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAy2HclVmPNv
ViggoHayes: “Why are you doing this to me?” 411Please respect copyright.PENANAuHcG9H3SGo
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd2k0qjlc4P
Viggo’s forgotten he’s filming himself as his face contorts into something ugly. He suddenly tackles Professor Taylor to the floor. Ishmael goes insane and hysterical, barking nonstop, but cannot break them up. The men wrestle onto the floor, banging and slamming into the furniture. The camera falls next to the floor.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlBvja2XTgi
411Please respect copyright.PENANARAftLwBGVq
Each man throws wild punches at their faces and unprotected areas, but Taylor’s the one who quickly makes it on top. The camera’s kicked away.411Please respect copyright.PENANAwsiV1uq1CZ
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJhFcVJrVHa
Kirby can’t believe his eyes. Ishmael fills the office with his mournful cries and howls. Using both hands and all of his weight, Professor Taylor chokes Viggo who digs his nails deeper into Taylor’s long gash of a cheek scar. The man screams out before a beefy fist clocks Viggo hard.411Please respect copyright.PENANA1OjFlooHzJ
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9YPfhZRI2Z
Viggo’s jaw smashes the floor. He spits out blood and a tooth.411Please respect copyright.PENANASEy6BOjMkT
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFAjvWpGRXr
Ishmael’s howls waver to whines.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlyORlECVfP
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1PuNiGuYSh
DomTaylor: “Enough!”411Please respect copyright.PENANALaqq3d5cAn
ViggoHayes: “You promised you wouldn’t choose them, Dom ...” 411Please respect copyright.PENANAOb9bs99eME
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVhagUJNkFa
Taylor stands to his feet, panting. He glares down at him with distaste.411Please respect copyright.PENANApGnPNKLSjG
411Please respect copyright.PENANAec0RMVTJ61
DomTaylor: “That was before I saw their work. I would be one stupid son of a bitch to turn them away. When I look at them, I don’t see interns. I see cash cows. Golden goose eggs. You and your personal feelings have gotten in my way for the last time!”411Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvMA1PEil
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwTHCBmaZTw
The video is put on pause. It glitches. Kirby shakes the bedbugs off his face, trying to make sense of it. That’d be inspiring and uplifting for him if it weren’t for the fact that they got violent over it. I didn’t know Viggo would get that upset. And why ... is there a video playing of it?411Please respect copyright.PENANARUHMUijwwH
411Please respect copyright.PENANANQBrTlSswC
Subtitles inform him of the footsteps behind him. He slowly looks back and goes weak in the knees.411Please respect copyright.PENANAIV3AaRINf4
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0lgVjOpan7
The Spook trudges out of the dark, out of the steamy home of scattering bedbugs, with a wooden sad mask. Kirby is rooted to the spot as it all comes together. It’s the same person he’s seen on the road this morning. Their near death experience, these bugs, and that video have everything to do with that weirdo.411Please respect copyright.PENANARX6dSD35JL
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgTi8YmXyYY
He flinches when the Spook points a gloved finger his way.411Please respect copyright.PENANAGwwMqCZu2R
411Please respect copyright.PENANA54fJ1JL9EN
“Boo.”411Please respect copyright.PENANABwh7ysUMMx
411Please respect copyright.PENANASKUPRPykdh
Kirby squeezes his eyes. It’s just virtual. It’s MyHAVEN. It’s just a bad dream. I am untouchable. Seeing nothing, I’m feeling nothing. His breathing starts to regulate, calming down back to normal. Deny, deny, deny. It’s purely psychological…411Please respect copyright.PENANAlSMKL4x5Lr
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxqUUezQ2e3
He peeks again. The Spook points at him, this time in broad daylight.411Please respect copyright.PENANAjprilrqNPj
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaYqOva75Rj
“Sorry you lived. I’ll try harder next time.” 411Please respect copyright.PENANAGXAQgrBmyT
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGsNJ6gNp34
Sitting cross-legged in the middle of a railroad, Kirby feels the pebbles jump and nip at his skin. Oh no. He realizes it too late when the train rams into his spine, two hundred tons ripping through his puny body, severing him in half.411Please respect copyright.PENANAaql5CdhMqc
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5OfnUfEM9J
He dies.411Please respect copyright.PENANABAstttviPu
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnaoKlCloDB
This numb brutality snaps him awake in mid-air. The sky, the road, the grass, they all rush by in a savage whirl. Kirby’s back in the car now with Viggo’s dead body, spinning about in slow motion.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUO7Rq9m2KW
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFwitQ98zXw
His brother flails about like a dead-eyed mannequin. There is no sense of control. Only weightlessness and the promise of weight being delivered. Only suspension and the promise of a delayed end. He lets out the longest scream in his life.411Please respect copyright.PENANA0PTpGfJy4u
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeJzZIkZFbn
Kirby’s head slams into the ceiling when the roof of the car hits the ground. A sharp spasm jolts through his boiling neck and spine. He coughs out liters of blood, watching Viggo fly out of a window. His leg gets torn on the frayed window, being left behind a wobbling carved piece of flesh.411Please respect copyright.PENANALQmHO6uXBA
411Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hwfzt2kT
Bits of glass and drops of blood rain into the deep pores and wrinkles of his face. The car tumbles across the ground, turning over and over. He wakes up again in mid-air. Viggo’s back inside the car. So is he.411Please respect copyright.PENANAZuJRGylizS
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7tbDtJCPH6
Kirby realizes Viggo has his hand wrapped around the emergency brake.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvXej3EBa2c
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1mBWMFvXpY
They stare at each other.411Please respect copyright.PENANA03xTYOo6dO
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtkshxiWQz4
The Spook means to torture him for as long as the timer on his pod keeps ticking. A two-hour night terror. He looks at his right where the side menu should have been but is missing. Somehow the Spook has blocked him. Overriding him. Viggo nods at him this time. Kirby croaks out a no… ! The car smashes through the parked police cars. The Spook watches them from behind their seats as bedbugs crawl all over them. Wait, wait, no!411Please respect copyright.PENANA3BxNJf5cFY
411Please respect copyright.PENANAispDKkJgrl
The car flips.411Please respect copyright.PENANA4HUQkycOTv
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkOSIe47KE7
He braces himself as the car slams into a guardrail. They are showered in sparks as blunt as hail. Viggo’s torn asunder, scattering apart in all directions with glass. Strings and gobs of milky blood stretch out thinly, a strange crimson.411Please respect copyright.PENANAJuX4SjfaOt
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3FDORX1GXH
Kirby’s face is thrown forward.411Please respect copyright.PENANACXiwjwcbNj
411Please respect copyright.PENANABfjlmOD5Qa
His skull shatters grisly upon impact, skin shuddering and splattering along the gritty asphalt. He feels his arms snap. He feels how his clavicle cracks. His neck is bent out of shape. His body is mangled all wrong, and he can feel every dislocated joint. He learns the mesh of road and bone. He tries also to become numb to it.411Please respect copyright.PENANAO8z5jAsvlv
411Please respect copyright.PENANANw6ZaG4iWX
He dies again.411Please respect copyright.PENANAQd20txXa0o
411Please respect copyright.PENANAu1tKYInypo
His eyes are squeezing shut when the engine sputters to life. His seat rattles. His skin crawls. His hair rises. Deja vu. Kirby braves opening his eyes back on the plane.411Please respect copyright.PENANAGYqBb7Epv9
411Please respect copyright.PENANAH5dmipKMK6
His knees shake freely and out of control, no longer knocking into anyone. It is an evacuated plane, but it’s surely the same plane that blows up.411Please respect copyright.PENANAWus9wtbAPP
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAUyxPrYqxQ
No way. Kirby yanks at his seat belt but it does not budge. He pulls with everything he has, yelling to suppress the raw burn in his hands. The plane starts moving. No, he thinks sobbing like an useless thing. Trapped.
He sees someone familiar rush at him, fumbling with his seat belt. His jungle green eyes grow feral. Kirby is startled to see Chance again. That handsome face he hasn’t seen in forever hollers at him to snap out of it. The man brings out a long military knife and starts sawing crazily through the thick restraints.411Please respect copyright.PENANAjSl60fWp5F
411Please respect copyright.PENANAy7qKarbcUY
When Kirby’s finally freed, they claw at their shirts, embracing so tightly that they feel each other’s heartbeats. Chance smiles at his smile.411Please respect copyright.PENANAAdMpb2HPNI
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmJpVeNr0b6
Kirby grins a bigger one back at him.411Please respect copyright.PENANAgEIc7oxs9I
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaTzMvHo6vC
Anonymous: “You’re okay.” 411Please respect copyright.PENANAdrnhoXesqb
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEazA477lKS
Kirby nods. Despite the recent nightmare, he’s now convinced that this is still nothing. It’s just for two hours, even less. He can do this, now that his hero Chance Gott is really here.411Please respect copyright.PENANAQFOosjnRoN
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pk5Wei5NX
They run out of the plane on wobbly legs. They make their way into a seemingly empty airport. They look wildly around. No passengers, no reporters, and no dead bodies. There’s no one.411Please respect copyright.PENANAynu29bY7sW
411Please respect copyright.PENANASuqDkwYnCF
But the Spook emerges. “Your time is coming.”411Please respect copyright.PENANADIDo6TuQNH
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2EUMKBVEU3
Chance tenses up, seeing that sad mask for the first time. The plane smokes something terrible, setting on fire.411Please respect copyright.PENANAGUxvtkEH0g
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPmIQYTNN0O
Kirby grips Chance’s arm. He brings out a keyboard and clacks away, piling up strings of coding and symbols. Line after line, formulas and their functions go way over Kirby’s head but they bring immediate changes to the environment.411Please respect copyright.PENANAHjQVGf7i32
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkY1IWB35bF
Their world gets erased with a zip, turning blank. It in fact turns bright white, leaving nothing behind but three avatars.411Please respect copyright.PENANAs4f4s7LzOg
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwXx6N1jp06
Kirby sees the side menu light up again at his right. He’s no longer blocked. He should be able to escape now. His fingers are ready to jab at the Exit button but hesitate. However, Chance roars at him. “Go! Now!”411Please respect copyright.PENANAipRybz75wk
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyvMyEdp4Tv
Kirby jabs at the Exit button. Like a deflating balloon, it all goes black.411Please respect copyright.PENANAzfbJwCDIJf
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqT6MTjzOif
The MyHAVEN pod unlocks, opening slightly ajar by itself.411Please respect copyright.PENANAqOUlgMS4dB
411Please respect copyright.PENANAts2YptJrt7
Kirby pants heavily. He’s all numb and can’t keep his eyes open. His heart is pounding at its hardest, as if he’s done a triathlon. His hair and his clothes are drenched in cold sweat. His trembling fingers reach out of the egg. Doesn’t anyone see me?411Please respect copyright.PENANAnIuTbYYBGS
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbSO86rjlpd
He can’t see either. He rests for another minute, panting. However, the silence doesn’t mean no one’s there. He knows that. Come on, Kirby begs of himself. Wake up.411Please respect copyright.PENANApTzHgpZe9P
411Please respect copyright.PENANAS78eHqohoE
His wrist leans into the door, prying it open slightly. His shoulder presses into it. Fucking open.411Please respect copyright.PENANAe7TyygWSmf
411Please respect copyright.PENANAC0MzftJmQO
The door opens to a dark room. The sun has gone down, leaving Skyden a pitch-black one-o-clock in the afternoon. How long was I under? His phone tells him that only four hours have passed, like Viggo’s said.411Please respect copyright.PENANAMNiNgm5qD7
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9xtxSmQdVX
Kirby sighs with relief, drooling on the floor. It occurs to him that Skyden orbits the earth twice in one day. Two sunrises, two sunsets. Noontime here is always as dark as nighttime.411Please respect copyright.PENANALB19n50cAe
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2TQvVbUs4B
Kirby climbs out of the pod and his shoulder crashes onto the floor. He moans softly. Not so numb anymore. That hurts. The room starts spinning back and forth, leaving him dizzy and blind. He blinks as much as he can.411Please respect copyright.PENANAV6SPFvA6fE
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOaKi5L8aXN
A shadow lurks through the rosewood study.411Please respect copyright.PENANAHA5wvPwXBc
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5syPyGFpuk
His heart pounds. Please, he thinks. Not like this.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUfpLjUrHp5
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Vsd2BD1f
The silhouette passes some windows, walking briskly for someone who’s seen Kirby. Unless he hasn’t. Kirby remains still, holding in his ragged breaths as best as he could. It is a man or a woman walking by with a familiar face. Who is it?411Please respect copyright.PENANAYIpvueFVat
411Please respect copyright.PENANANW7P1PmoWB
A haunting face.411Please respect copyright.PENANAAnFrFX0nqY
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ3AVxArLf
An impossible face, bearded white.411Please respect copyright.PENANAFRe8enaO7S
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtMjuCAz59X
The ghost of Professor Taylor passes a dim lamp. His furious, fearful eyes glare. Taylor roams around his study in the darkness before slipping through the back door. Kirby squints, rubbing at his eyes.411Please respect copyright.PENANAAar5VecPHB
411Please respect copyright.PENANATu4i49RTyX
His brother saunters out of Taylor’s office, chasing after who left. Viggo looks terrorized as he kicks a giant hole in the wall. He screams, “Fuck!”411Please respect copyright.PENANAU8OwHCTmDu
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmJMSj1925Z
No, Kirby realizes. Professor Dominic Taylor is very much alive.
