The ground is crumbling, I look up with both hands tangled in my hair and wait to watch the casket fall again, to watch it shatter, my little body with it, and I wonder if I kill it, will I finally wake up?
Etienne, if indeed he is Etienne, comes towards me again, defying the attempts of the splitting earth to keep him from me. Running, full tilt, and when he slams into me, it slams my avatar back into a moment of permanence and I grasp his arms when he all but screams at me for an explanation.
I gape at him for a moment, a sob catches in my throat and makes me choke. I pull him close again, put my arms around his shoulders, thread my fingers in his strange white hairs.
"My worst nightmares, mon Eti." I say weakly. I look up, over his head. I recognize that building, it's a block away from the EMC head offices. It's a burnt out shell, here. Vaglass has won. "Where I lost you and I still can't win."
