    "It needs to be Noelle's thing, too."

    Susie and Noelle's new relationship doesn't just make Kris jealous—it triggers their old fear of being abandoned all over again.

    After walking Susie "home" to Castle Town, Kris spirals into the dark corners of their own mind, where they're forced to confront a terrifying question: Will everyone leave them behind once more, or can they find a way to save themselves?

    [Takes place directly after the events of Chapter 5]

    Summary

    “Hun… the police went to your house just this morning. They’ll be looking to speak with you.”

    Susie feels like the ground is lurching beneath her feet.

    “Why?” she rasps out. “What do they want with me?”

    Diner lady looks even more pitying, now.

    Summary

    The burning sensation that spread through his body. The feeling that nothing would ever be okay again until he was half a bottle in and could barely stand. The way his entire body would tense for hours and he wouldn't know if he was hungry or if he was thirsty until he was sick from neglecting those needs.

     

    It's cold on the bathroom floor, or at least he thinks it is. His arms are covered in goosebumps but his shirt is drenched in sweat and tears.

     

    He can't do this.

    Summary

    At the end of the summer, when Mabel and Great Uncle Ford fall through a multiverse rip left from Weirdmageddon, Dipper isn't too worried. After all, they've all overcome much worse adventures and always bounced back. But then a year passes. And another. And another. As Dipper spends the next thirty years frantically searching for a way to reunite his family, he not only must contend with the dangers of the powerful supernatural forces he's messing with, but also the bitter reality of growing up without his twin sister.

    Summary

    Each cycle has always remained the same. Every creature that lives, every event that unfolds, not one detail has ever changed. Once everything is said and done, the Harbinger awakens, guided by the Ten Kings of Diyu as he goes through the trials set by the mythical beasts guarding the Color Stones that will mend the Pillar of Heaven and continue to protect this world from the chaos that lies beyond.

    As he walks through the Pillar to merge himself with it, the beings that live to see the end of the world have only minutes to think their last thoughts as the cycle resets.

    To a Goddess, it's merely an end to something that will soon be reborn. To a Snake, it's a small glimpse out of the cage he's trapped in. To a King, it's both somehow a terrifying yet tranquil sight.

    And to the Harbinger, it is a short experience as he only lives to die for the sake of others.

     

    Or: The last thoughts of those who exist in and outside of the cycle as the world resets once more.
