    Summary

    “We’ve just gone up through the third storey,” says Carlos. He rasps one hand down the lovingly close-shorn stubble on his firm, beautiful jaw. “We’ve just gone up through a storey of your building that isn’t even there.”

    “The disappearance is really more of an advertising stunt than anything,” agrees Cecil. The elevator pings. “But long live Night Vale, that’s what I say. Long live the capitalist hegemony! Would you like some dinner, while you’re here?”

    Summary

    The mirror in the silver frame did not reflect the individual standing in front of it. The mirror in the silver frame reflected most, if not all, of the surroundings and the space behind the individual standing in front of it.

    There is a package on the doorstep when Cecil arrives at his home.

    The package is flat and rectangular. It is wrapped in brown paper with a card dangling from a piece of string.

    Summary

    Carlos is having the strangest dreams, and the strangest headaches, like there's something he's supposed to be remembering. Not to mention the intern's wedding coming up, and that new chemical StrexCorp wants him to develop. It's going to be a busy week.

    Summary

    Carlos doesn’t know what “re-education” entails, but he thinks he knows what it means. It means that your thoughts are not your own and your doubt must be stamped out, no matter the cost.

    Carlos fears that, unless Cecil can learn to stop trusting and doubting in equal measure, that cost will be far too high.

    (EDIT: Now with optional epilogue for those who prefer their endings sweet instead of bitter.)
