I’m sorry but if you were sasha- who got a kick out of the thought of being avenged- and someone said that they smote the thing that killed you and stabbed the man who let it happen to death while saying your name… 😳. That’s hot behaviour.

I think also if you were Tim and you found out that you went out in a blaze of glory and successfully took out the thing that stole your brother, and that it was Jon who gave you the detonator and was ready to die with you for your cause…… 😳.

I think also if you were Martin and you found out this guy loved you so much that at the height of his power and with a goal in mind, he lay still and let him stab you and the last thing he did was find a way to run away with you….. 😳.

Q: Who?

And then. S5 Jon gets hungry. Even the world’s trauma is a finite supply, and with time, he degrades. He holds back, he resists it, but the worst of him is laid bare. Perhaps he goes after avatars again, perhaps even the same ones he ate up when the world was his. Typical that michael managed to be killed so many times, really; by the distortion, by helen, by Jon in another world and now Jon again.

Perhaps he even feeds on his archival staff, the same he never wanted to hurt in the first place and who he especially didn’t want to hurt now he knows better. Ultimately it’s utilitarian. A blood donation to a leach. They can’t be hurt by the nightmares since they’re still bound to the archives, and they still know how to sever that bond, if they want.

Perhaps Martin’s hungry too. There were two domains fuelling him, and now there is a chasm. Surrounded by lonely people, his own lonely younger self his his equally lonely friends, perhaps Martin just longs to open himself up to that place and show them what life could be when you’re truly alone.

Eventually, that’s how it ends. Martin takes his Jon to the lonely, and that’s the last their younger selves ever know of them. It’s a relief for them all, especially Jon. There’s no relief from the wondering, though.

It’s out at last! I've worked on this series for a year and a half now! and now it’s finally out there in the world!
