N: You knew about the patch, yes or no? One. Chance.

The sword was right at Tessa’s neck. One swoop, it would all be over for her.

Tessa: N… I… I can’t lie to you anymore…

N: Lie to me? What…? N quickly composes himself. What are you talking about?

…are you really her?

Tessa: y… yes… it’s me…

N: Then why are you trying to kill Uzi? And did you know about the patch or not?!

Tessa: I can explain everything, N..

N slowly moves the blade away from Tessa’s neck.

N: Start. Talking. NOW.

Tessa: Okay.. I’ll explain.. you see, back at the gala, Cyn.. no.. the Solver.. kept me alive. It needed someone to execute its plan. It knew the drones were living happily here on Copper 9. So I was sent along with you, V, and J to kill all the drones. But we were lied to. The Solver, it wanted to feed. I’m sorry, N. You knew me better than that.

N: ..

Tessa: If you need time to process it, I underst—

N: Just let Uzi go.

That’s what she does. She removes the sword from Uzi’s neck as she gets up.

Tessa: Sorry, Uzi.

Uzi: Yeah, yeah, thank you kindly, shove it up your ass.

Tessa: We should get out of h—

Suddenly, an explosion noise and an overly bright flash of light comes from the large pit in the Cabin Fever Cathedral. A bright yellow flash. A flesh-like tendril comes out and slowly drags Doll’s dead body into it, and when the body enters the pit, eating and slurping sounds can be heard. Then, a voice comes out from it.

???: Oh, dear Tessa, what did we talk about? Sardonic giggle. Nobody likes a tattletale.

A drone ascends up from the pit, coming up using more of the tendrils that carry the eaten body of Doll. The drone seems to be wearing human skin.. but not just anyone’s skin. The skin of Tessa’s mother, Louisa. She’s even wearing Louisa’s fascinator, her dress, shoes, and carries her fan, seemingly as a weapon, as there’s visible oil on it. She even still wears Tessa’s bow. But the hairstyle… it’s not just the same as Tessa’s, it’s also the same as a familiar drone’s.

Tessa: Oh, no.. she’s here.

N and Uzi slowly turn to Tessa, praying that she’s not talking about who they think she’s talking about.

N: Who’s here..?

Once the drone is fully visible, it… she speaks again.

???: Haha.. oh, yes..

The drone turns to N, Uzi, and Tessa, making her identity clear.

Cyn: GET SNUCK UPON.
