['Love Will Have It's Sacrifices' Theme]
Okay, alt-Carm has gone to get me snacks so we got maybe 2 miutes!
And you’re sure Ms. Belmonde can be trusted to return with the heart?
No. But I trust that she wants me to stay here and help Carm. And that she’d rather not have her mother end the world.
I’d be more concerned about letting her believe that you’re planning on saving this world and stay here.
You won’t need to sustain the falsehood long.
As soon as the heart is close enough to you and the rest of the talismans, the Library and I will collapse the pocket and-
and-and-and
J.P. are you okay?
I'm sorry-sorry something is happen-ing-ing... Hurry!
I think our Dean has discovered our plan -
J.P.!
So that probably wasn't good.
Hey? You want some patent-pending Euphoria Tea? Blisses one out during stressful situations.
No thanks.
Well, given the recent revelation that my entire reality is dependent on your need for a mystical heart, and about to collapse into oblivion, I’m having some.
I think it might free me up to contemplate, you know, the nature of the universe. Maybe Donnie Darko my way outta this thing.
Plus, I probably shouldn’t be here when Lady McVampire returns from getting you snacks.
(Feels)
You know, you’re pretty awesome in any Universe.
Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Watch your back, Frosh.
Hey.
I- uh- wasn’t sure what you’d like so I -
Brought me the entire vending machine?
Yeah. If you don't like them though, I can go back and -
I'm fine.
Thanks.
Hey Laura. Did - in the place that you came from- Did I really defy Mother?
Head of the charge.
Do you think - do you think you- I mean we- could win?
I don't know.
It’s not like the Dean has a whole bunch of weaknesses-
No. I mean you've got nothing to lose when your heart is buried.
What was that?
When your heart is buried? It's a story Mother told me when I couldn't stop thinking about you -
There was this god - Ishtar, or Asarte, or -
Inanna.
Yes.
Who lost her love. So she descended into the Underworld and -
Through Seven Gates.
Yes.
To get them back.
Only, the other gods stopped her and cast her out and now she loves no one and nothing.
Because her heart is buried.
That's what she wants.
Not to rule. To have her love returned.
That's awful.
I mean, totally not a justification for the end of all life on the planet, but-
Oh, I'd do it for you.
Now that you're back.
It doesn't matter if the whole world burns.
Carm, I -
[Door opens]
Well, isn’t that darling. That's enough to make a girl reconsider her stance on pets.
Did you get it?
I mean did you -
Did I tear through that lying old windbag like tissue paper? Absolutely. Someone has spun his last yarn on the Austro-Hungarian War.
That is. Graphic.
So what's next parallel girl?
Well, we gather all four Talismans together, and -
Wait!
Is that my locket?
Well...
Yes, but -
And it’s broken. Why is my locket broken, little girl?
It's not what you think.
Oh really?
So I definitely shouldn’t be upset that my heart isn’t in the locket? Even if there’d be no way to remove it without, say, killing me?
What is she talking about? You would never - She would never.
Laura, you need to - (Glitch.) You need to hurry, the Dean, she's- she's here.
We're running out of time. You have to give me the heart.
Did you - in the other world - Did you murder me?
Sorry, I -
Sorry? You haven’t begun to be sorry-
No! NO!
J.P. You have to jump me again!
No!
No! You can't leave me again. No, I won't lose you again.
There may be one chance. To open the last gate. She must give up immortality.
Oh time, thy pyramids.
