Jax's mind races. "H-How did I get infected?!" Jax thinks to himself. "Did... Gangle scratch me? How did I not notice?!" Jax puts his glove on and hides the infection. "Maybe I can stop it from spreading... I have to try." Jax says to himself. Jax stands up and walks outside, and he gives a smile to Ragatha, who is making a new pair of overalls for him. "Looks good." Jax says.
"Hey... Jax... you doing okay? You look a bit... sick...?" Ragatha asked. "Yeah, I've been feeling a little under the weather. I'm just tired... healing and all." Jax says. "Oh. That makes sense." Ragatha says with a smile. "I'm going for a walk... I won't be too far." Jax says as he turns away and walks off. Jax takes off his glove, and sees the infection is still the same. "It spreads slowly when it's from an infected... not an abstracted... that... both good and not good..." Jax says to himself.
Jax puts his glove back on and walks towards the digital lake. Jax sits and stares out at the lake, but it disappointed because of how disgustingly brown and green the water had become. Jax grabs a filter from his pocket and a water bottle, filling it up. Jax takes a few drinks and puts the water bottle back in his pocket.
"It's fine, Jax... you're fine... you'll be just fine." Jax repeats to himself, trying to calm down. "It's fine..." Jax says as he walks back to the camp out. Jax walks into the tent and lays down on his cot, staring up at the tent ceiling. Jax pull his glove off and looks at his hand, nervously.
Jax sighs and puts his glove back on his hand, hiding the glitches. "It's only a matter of time before it spreads up my arm..." Jax whispers to himself.
With Pomni-
Pomni takes off her Jester hat and sets it aside. "This is going to just weigh me down..." Pomni says to herself as she looks at the mountains in the distance, and she grabs the metal pipe she had now adopted as her temporary weapon of choice.
Pomni walks away to the circus tent, and she looks around. "I want to learn more about this place..." Pomni says to herself as she heads down the hallway of bedrooms once again. She looks at some broken doors, and some doors with Mannequins images on them. "Interesting..." Pomni says and see looks at her own door.
She opens the door, seeing the room was starting to fade it's color and lighting, like if it was dying. "That's... very interesting..." Pomni says as she steps inside, and looks around. The room was jester-like. It had red and silky curtains everywhere, and the bed-frame seemed to be made of gold. "So... if this place was normal... I'd be sleeping in here... living in this... room..." Pomni looks through a dress to her right.
"Nothing real interesting here..." Pomni says as she backs away from the dresser and leaves the room. Pomni looks across her room and looks at Jax's room. Pomni walks inside and looks around, they place was absolutely destroyed. Pomni accidentally steps on something, and looks under her foot. "A key?" Pomni asked allowed as she reaches down, and picks it up.
"I wonder what it unlocks... only Jax would know..." Pomni puts the key in her blue glove and leaves the room. Pomni walks into Gangle's room, and the walls are cracked and leaking a black substance. "Oh... that's... concerning..." Pomni steps in and looks at the walls, seeings many cute drawings of characters, and a drawing of Jax and Gangle holding hands.
"Gangle loved to draw... huh..." Pomni thinks to herself. Suddenly, a scraping sound is heard from outside. Pomni quietly walks towards the door and peeks out to see what is out in the hallways. "What was-" Pomni suddenly gasps and her eyes widen.
