Peter parker POV
When was the last time I slept on a bed? I can't even remember. It's always camping, waking up with a sore body, and moving forward. Huh... I talk as if I've always been sleeping on the floor, but that's not the case. Not usually, at least. I just...
Ugh. What am I even saying? I don't know anymore. I'm tired. So tired. Running the multiverse with my Velocity Suit drained me more than I realized. I should check its power source later. It seems fine, but... that frictionless flame—it was relentless.
Ace was lucky I made it in time to save him and boost his power. The speed difference was staggering; he was getting his ass handed to him. But he's fine now. He's fine...

What? Did I just hear myself speak?
Hear myself speak? No, that's dumb. Of course, I'm talking to myself. This exhaustion is messing with my head. I just need sleep—a proper sleep. I'm in a 3D body right now, unlike the Nexus, where I don't even need to sleep. Maybe I'll finally get some peace.
I wonder how Ace would react when he sees the Nexus. He's past the existential crisis of knowing he's fictional, so he should be fine. Maybe Mr. Karito will show him the One Piece manga so he can check in on his family. Ace probably misses them deeply.

Atoria... hmm. I'm not sure how I feel about her yet. It's good she decided to turn over a new leaf. At least it wasn't hard to convince her—she already doubted herself as a Dark. Even though she hid it well, Mr. Karito managed to talk her into joining us.

Wait. Did I... did I hear that? My head hurts. Am I sick? No, that's not possible. I haven't been sick once since becoming a Guardian. What's wrong with me?
Oh, Spider~
That voice... echoing in my head. I must be going crazy.
I missed your warmth, Spider~
No. I've heard this before.
HATE! HATE! HATE!
No. No. Leave me alone.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I felt hands slithering over my body, improper and invasive.
Spider... I missed you so much... I love you~
Aurora. I told you I'm taken! I told you a thousand times to fuck off!
Please, Spider. You've done so much for me... for us. Let me please you~
S-stop!
The hands groped me again, tightening their grasp. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe.
YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST ROAM FICTION WITHOUT SCARS, SPIDER-MAN?! YOU GORE-EATING, KILLING MACHINE! YOU HYPOCRITE! YOU PSYCHOPATH! DIE! DIE! DIE!
