Skizz ducks under the trees, crawling through bushes before, finally, he finds the spot.

Here, at this spot against the border between Nether and Aether, Hell and Heaven, he has been meeting up with his secret love for months.

Skizz knows there's a war raging on between these two right now.

Skizz knows that if he were caught with Impulse, then everything would be stripped away from him. His power, his parents, his friends, his through-sight, his whole life, everything he loves would be taken.

Skizz knows that if his parents found out, they would likely not even look at him ever again.

But all of those problems seem less important as he sidles up to the border and sees a familiar figure dressed in black and gold sitting there and reading a book.

He taps twice on the barrier and smiles as he sees Impulse turn to look at him.

"Hi, Dippledop. I missed you."
