to ensure a "Sequel." "What are you doing?" the Architect shrieked, her clipboard flickering. "I'm 'Breaking the Fourth Wall' for real," I said. "I'm showing the 'Customers' how the 'Sausage' is made." All over the Multiverse, the "Viewership" plummeted. The "Underwriters" began to "Unsubscribe" in droves.

Like I’ve stepped into some fragile, shimmering illusion and I’m not ready to let it break.

No right science has spread. Church talks of relief. I in tatters of disbelief. I am buried in eyes that see. Those eyes then dream me in heaven. Wow! How much deeply lies can impact the human mind, the thoughts. The ghosts I now believe, but the church I still disbelieve. I doubt the father who says on earth I will be again seen one day. I doubt.

And that had his mind wandering away in no time. As he continued pondering his thoughts, his mind drifted to the events of the day, particularly his earlier suspicion that Hayley and Leonardo might share a deeper connection from what he witnessed.
