Notes

Trigger warnings: Temporary character death, some blood, depression

This is a bit darker than I normally write, but I hope you enjoy this story anyways! :)

Chapter 42: [57:31]

Loop 71

The silver fox catches him as he falls this time, its jaws unusually gentle around him.

It carries him along for a while. He doesn't know why. He doesn't care.

It hops over a log. Trudges through the river. Winds around tree after tree. It feels like they're going in circles.

An hour passes. They arrive at the cliff.

The fox sets Jokey down on a small rock, sitting quietly next to him. It looks up at the cliff, golden eyes softly glowing.

Jokey considers it for a moment. This monster. This elegant, magical monster. He looks towards the cliff.
