Summary
Scar cuts the rope
Other Scar walks right into his boss' office. But he looks scared.
"Scar!" Mr. Land exclaims. "Knock first, or something! Well, since you're here, what do you want?"
Other Scar walks forward and drops both the blueprint and envelope on the desk. "I finished the design. It's good, just no 'Goodtimes touch'."
"And the envelope...?"
"My resignation letter." He takes a small ID out of his pocket and throws it on the table.
"Resignation letter? You still have two weeks, that's how-"
"I don't want two weeks."
"...why?"
"That's why there's a letter."
Mr. Land is silent for many beats, astonished. He clears his throat and picks his work phone up, dialing a number, "Hello? Please start the resignation process for Mr. Scar Goodtimes. Thank you." He doesn't put it down when he dials another set of numbers, "Please come to my office and help Scar pack his things and leave the building swiftly. Thanks." He puts the phone down.
"Thanks."
"I can call it off, you know. You can turn back, Scar."
"No, thanks." Other Scar shakes his head as the assistant from before peeks into the office. He says nothing and turns, following the assistant out.
Scar and Jellie watch as all of Other Scar's various things are packed into folders and soon his backpack. The assistant leads him out in tense silence. No words are said as he steps outside. It is the early afternoon. Some people pass Other Scar on their way off of their lunch breaks. And he does not look back as he smiles and runs off down the sidewalk.
The wind blows and Scar turns to find the next card on the high-rise's door. It is another upside down one, depicting a badly-drawn Mr. Land with devilish horns drawn in red. XV, The Devil.
Scar studies the odd card, "Well, I don't know much about religion but I'd say this meaning is once again tripping me up."
"As usual," Jellie sighs. Scar scoffs at this and lightly taps the card.
