Sloth. To whom d-do I owe the misfohrtune?

@Etcetera

Yourself, actually. *Points at the now five buttons next to each other on the pedestal*
You need to press the outer buttons without pressing the middle button, okay? Then we can finally leave.

*Blinks*

@Etcetera

Better?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

The cl-closer I get, th-the more I remember.
*Turns toward you*
Goodbye, Mr. Bear.
*Falls toward the button, dissipating entirely into sand*

@Etcetera

Let's try this again. Instantánea en el tiempo.
*Time freezes for you and all the time between our entrance to the dimension and now is removed from the dimension's akashic record, reverting you to the moment you stepped inside, reconstructing you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

I don't t-think you understand, Mr. Bear.

@Etcetera

Rejection already? That shouldn't...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

Because p-past me didn't want to. I c-can't.

@Etcetera

Vuelta del uno mismo.
*The you from entering the dimension separates from you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

Watch.
*Reaches out, but my arm turns into sand after it reaches a certain distance*
I tohld you I can't.

@Etcetera

Because you don't want to.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

B-because! I don't re-remember much, but whoever I was put ush-us in stalemate before the game begahn. It was Russian Roulette wi-with no bullets!

@Etcetera

*Sighs* Just press the button so we can leave and you can go back to the way you were before.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

NO! If y-you want it pressed, I-I don't!

@Etcetera

Why, exactly is that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

*Turns around, looks at you and then clenches my other hand*
...Y-you k-know what? I hope everyone dies. I hohhpe I die. I'm S-S-SICK of being your retarded puppet just t-t-to be miserable while you laugh at me! Y-your entire line can go die. YOU can g-go die. It would be m-merciful. Game over, I-I'm done playing. I QUIT.

@Etcetera

You're not a very good puppet. *Frowns* I'm also not laughing at you. I consider you very highly, in fact. I don't have a line, and neither of us are going to be able to die while we're here. You'll find that neither of us can leave either unless you press that button. So if you truly want everyone to die, your best bet would be to press it and then kill me.

*Reaches out, but once I reach beyond a certain point, my hand turns into sand*
I... I...
*My eye twitches*
