If I had known that Urchin would be with the Rainbooms and Cato and Flash standing on top of the trapdoor when Trixie pulled the lever, I wouldn’t have asked her to “give them a shove”. As such, it served as the perfect opportunity for the dark side of me to take full control. My true self was banished to a corner of my brain, in grief after doing what I felt had been a betrayal of Urchin and breaking his heart. But, as I watched myself go crazy, I could only think of him and from inside my mind, I just whispered stuff that I hope somehow, someway, he could hear it.
Urchin, please, help me. I need you now, love.
