Warning: Minor spoilers for Chapter 9 of RRFF
************
[Several "years" before RRFF, in Galaxy's head, outside of the timeline.
Galaxy's head is a vast, bright space. Since Galaxy has his memories, the headspace is no longer empty and actually has defined hallways, landmarks, and furniture, but the place is slowly falling apart because of the infection.
On one stable piece of land is a tent. Inside the tent are two air mattresses. Time is snoring, fast asleep on one of the air mattresses. His mask is propped up on a makeshift bedside table, and a golden holographic string connects the back of the clock mask to Time's head.
The tent floor is cluttered with a bunch of random items, such as toys, books, tools, and blocks. Three of the tent's walls have a bunch of cute drawings (of landscapes, Time, and Illusion) taped onto them.]
[Time's clock mask strikes another hour. The clock mask jumps into the air and telepathically tells Time "Wake up! You've acquired all the sleep necessary for today!" via the golden string]
Time: *grumbles awake as the string connected to his head flares up*
Time: *slams his clock mask into the bedside table, causing it to shut up*
[The golden string disappears. The clock mask levitates and lands on Time's face, securing its own straps around Time's head. The mask telepathically says, "After some calculation, I will notify you later when the most optimal time to sleep again will be."]
Time: *sits up and gives a big stretch and yawn* (Aaaaah, I needed that nap.) *sleepily puts on a new set of clothes, but becoming more awake as he moves* (I've always liked sleep, but now I'm always tired! Who knew taking care of Illusion would be so hard and - )
Time: Illusion? *turns to look at Illusion's air mattress*
[Illusion's air mattress is messy with a tossed away blanket, several stuffed animals and action figures left unattended, and a book full of bedtime stories]
Time: *jumps up* Illusion?! Oh no, he's wondered off again. Since Galaxy's mind is falling apart, it could be dangerous out there!
Time: *races out of the tent and runs into the Comfort Section of Galaxy's mind (basically an island full of fluffy clouds and flying pufferfish)* Illusion?! *looks around but doesn't find him*
Time: *races to the Room of Thoughts and looks around* Illusion?! *no sign of him*
Time: *getting anxious* *he wishes he could use his ability to see through the timeline to locate Illusion, but he has lost his connection with his timeline thanks to being in Galaxy's head and out of the timeline*
Time: *keeps looking around for Illusion*
[brief time skip]
Time: *arrives at the Field of Memories, which is a field of forget-me-nots that project Galaxy's memories* Illusion? *looks around* Illusion?!
[Time notices that there is a "path" of flowers that are more tightly grown together than the rest of the field. Time follows it, and the path leads him to his 8-year-old brother, who is sitting in the middle of the flower field, staring in awe at one of the flowers]
Child!Illusion: :0
Time: *runs up to Illusion* Illusion! There you are!
Child!Illusion: *reaches out to grab the flower in front of him*
