   Summary

   You're still here. After everything you did, everything you went through, you're still here. What a cruel joke.
   You had to spectate Stardust's journey through Dormont, you had to watch as they did better than you ever did, so it's only right that you continue that tradition now. You're on the road, they're healing, and you're... still here. You laugh, a sharp, bitter laugh.
   Ah, stars. They're all looking at you again.
   You feel a tug on your stomach, and try not to gag on the smell of burnt sugar.

   ~~~

   What if Loop came with the group after Act 6 (including the secret)? What if Loop could still loop back, even if time progressed normally? What if they used this newfound ability for the purpose of avoiding talking about their trauma, leaning on it as a coping mechanism for their pain? What if I get to torture and subsequently heal my blorbo for ten whole chapters of trauma and crying?
   Just as the Universe intended.
