Tweak felt her paws slow and grow heavy over the game console. As she died yet another time on the same level, the mint bunny yawned and checked the time on her Octowatch. 

Yikes, she thought. 4:38 am. I should get to sleep.

Yes, agreed some tiny part of her brain that had apparently claimed independence. You should.

"Huh," she said aloud. "I'm talking to myself. That's new."

Actually, you're not talking to yourself. I'm a separate entity, said that voice. By the by, thanks for giving me purchase in this world. I needed a tired brain to enter, and this was the perfect opportunity.

"Uh... You're welcome?"

Dashi popped out of the Octochute. 

"Hey, Tweak." Then, she tilted her head. "Who were you talking to?"

Tweak looked abashed.

"My head's trying to convince me that it's a separate entity."

You mean, I'm trying to tell you the truth.

Dashi jumped.

"Uh... was I the only one who heard that?"

Tweak looked equally shocked.

"No, I heard it too."


It was at that point that the lights turned off and blackness seemed to swallow the world.
