    Summary

    You had goals, before.

    Help your friends. Learn more about the loops. Understand the King. Maybe even make an ally of him.

    You help your friends more loops than not. It’s a wonderful performance, one that almost lets you immerse yourself in the fantasy that they could love something like you. But you’re getting tired of performing. So tired you can’t be bothered to put the slightest effort into your mask against Odile, this loop. Let her puzzle over you and complain about her “missing something”; she won’t be able to do anything about it with the end so soon anyways.

    The Head Housemaiden doesn’t know anything about the loops. Or maybe she does, but can’t tell you. You don’t know where else to look. You could try asking Loop again, but you really aren’t in the mood for another one of their “experiments.”

    And as for the King…

    An AU that asks the question: What would have happened if Siffrin didn't complete the Kingquest until Act 4? And... hmm, nope! I think that's the only difference!

    Summary

    You only drop your hand once he’s fully out of your sight. You can’t bring yourself to look at the drawing, still on the ground, facing you mockingly. You’re not stupid. Every time you look down, you can see your hands, black as the night sky. You can see the stars glowing on your arms. You can feel the way your head flares up as you talk. You can feel the Universe-forsaken star thudding against your chest with every breath you take. But you had wished, pathetically, desperately, that maybe Siffrin would see something of himself in you. That he would, somehow, see past the stupid construct the Universe made for you, when it decided you lost the privilege to be him.

    You can’t believe, after everything, you still have hope for yourself.

     

    Or, several occasions in which Loop struggles with their new body.

    Summary

    Keith's solution to his steadily escalating problem is to hide it and hope it goes away. So instead of noticing what's the matter with Keith, everyone notices the steady escalation of his hiding.

    It's only marginally an improvement. (It's not an improvement at all.)
