The hand that held the scythe tightened on the handle, moved up just a little and slid the edge of the blade against the last rope that held her.
"Have you eaten anything?" He asks, concerned and frowning at her. His hand rests between her pigtails, dares not to ruffle her hair, but is a heavy weight that seeks to keep her pinned.
"I'm not really hungry..."
He hums and lets his hand fall away, studies her for a moment and sighs. She was being reckless, he tells her as he scoops her up into a hug. But she doesn't really care, not when he holds her close.
"Then you won't mind if I hold you tight?"
She laughs and he squeezes.
"I'll crush you, stuff you into my hollow soul and forget about you."
His arms seek to break her ribs and she laughs again.
"BZZZTTTTT. Wrong answer!" Abbi laughs as she slices through the last string. "Dreams are nice, but I've had better." She tells the AI as she falls to freedom, twirling her scythe for extra show. It didn't matter that what came next made her frown with confusion and worry, that it felt wrong and unnatural and frightening, that could be dealt with. She was free now, and knew those things she'd seen hadn't all been real, or at least weren't real anymore.

One moment she and Toma were touring Amityville with Sparrow and Ryou the next they found themselves in a corridor "H-huh?" Miyu says in confusion she swore she only blinked one minute she was looking at the monster dorms the next here "Toma... please tell me your seeing this..." she asks him softly "I am..." he admits softly
They both look around before looking to each other and shrugging "New adventure I guess heh!" she says then smiles Toma nods and smiles himself "Shall we?" She asks excitedly "Yup!" he responds equally as excited
After both nod to each other the pare make there way down the Corridor until they reach a door with two strange figures "Oh! Hello!" she greets but they ignore her greeting and begin telling her why she and Toma were here when they finally say cut the strings it dawns on Miyu who they might be talking about as the door opens "Lets go then!" she says eagerly and walks through the door
There just as she thought was the Alice AI "Hi Alice!" she says cheerfully however it fell on deaf ears as Alice told her she didn't want Miyu to leave which causes her and Toma to frown "Alice... Wonderland was fun and all and I really did enjoy my Wonderland Adventure but... dreams are dreams... they are meant to be experienced when asleep not when awake unless they are day dreams of course but I don't think thats what these are..." she explains softly
However Alice wasn't having any of it and tried to make her fall asleep "Hmm! Huh? Alice! W-wait!" she cries as she feels her energy being drain and a wave of tiredness hits her Toma clings to her shoulder trying to stay on but he to was being drained even the piercing pain of his claws couldn't drive away her drowsiness "A-alice..." She says weakly and looks up in time to see dark shadows stretch menicingly from out under the stringless puppet thats when it hit them
A feeling of intense unrelenting loneliness as darkness closed in around them she and Toma were right next to each other Miyu could feel his claws but couldn't tell that he was there Toma knew he was on her shoulder but he couldn't see her it was their nightmare all over again! "A-alice... please..." she says weakly as she began to surcome to the nightmare and curl in on herself until suddenly a voice a familiar voice in her head told them to wake up!
Both Miyu and Toma's heads snap up as it feels almost like the nightmare shatters the loneliness the darkness all dissapear at once as the room is revealed for what it really was cobweb like strings ate everywhere and soon the pare realize they were wrapped up in them each joint each finger all had a string on it she now could even feel one on her hat
"Cut the strings!" the familiar voice says "Thats what they meant!" she exclaims in realization

The next thing Wyatt knew, he was in a strange hallway. Another dream? Was he in a dream all along? His brain was starting to hurt. Was he in Inception? And if so, where the ******** was Leonardo diCaprio?
Whatever level of dream he was in, something felt particularly unsettling about this one, and the sense that he was just a puppet in some master plan felt all the more apparent. Particularly since he was quite literally a puppet with strings attached to him and everything.
The southern boy fought to pull off the strings and sever them from his person.

He pulled one string from him, slowly feeling closer to freedom. He thought he had escaped whatever grasp had a hold of him all this time in these strange dream worlds clashing with reality - a world he was still trying to make some sense of - but perhaps this was the true test to his freedom. He pulled at more strings to release himself, but it was no use.

He couldn't allow a defeat now, not when he felt he had come so close. He continued to fight and pulled away another string.

With his body half-freed, Wyatt ripped away at the remaining strings and successfully freed himself. He fell to his knees, exhausted and relieved with his successes. But something was off. Someone - a group of people - surrounded him.
As he looked up he saw four familiar versions of himself - the four versions of himself from the alternate realities he had encountered. The heterosexual Wyatt, arms wrapped around Winona, his female alternate universe self, paired with the strange version of himself wearing a kilt his head attached to his crotch, and finally his identical version of himself who he had fooled around with...and was now pregnant?
"You knocked me up, you b*****d!" his pregnant self shouted to himself. His heterosexual and female selves began to make out. The strange version started to play a ukelele.
What in the mother ******** hell?

As Lizzy severed the last string, she lost her balance and fell backwards...
... Onto her couch. There was a commercial for a brand of shampoo playing on the skelevision in front of her, although she wasn't really paying attention to it, being distracted by her eyephone.
"Hello, ladies."
At the greeting, Lizzy looked up, only to realize that she was now physically standing in front of the man - showing off his really impressive man chest, and wearing only a towel around his hips - from the commercial. Around her were a number of ghouls, their eyes glued onto the man before them, "Look at your man-"
Everyone - including her - turned to look at the side, where Mot was standing.
"-now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me," The man-chest-man continued, "Look down, back up, where are you?"
For some reason, she couldn't help but follow his every instruction, like she had been programmed to do so.
"You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand-" She looked down at her own hands, and saw that she was holding onto an oyster. When she looked back up again, the man-chest-man had turned into shower-Shun, complete with eye patch, and a distinct lack of a shirt, "-back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse."
It was a rocking horse too.
"I'M VERY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW," She yelled, taking a step forward, and-

For Jack's sake, she thought all of this was over with! How was it still going on? How was Alice still here--real, even? Which parts of her life after that dream were real, and which were fake? Whatever was going on, she was going to end it now.
Mind reeling, she felt the strings pulling at her from every direction. Sneering, she batted at them with her broom. Funny thing--they didn't budge.
"Cach!" she cursed, but she didn't give up.

She swatted the strings as hard as she could, but they hung on. Her face contorted in frustration and she
Panic started setting in and she began to wonder--what if she couldn't cut the strings? What if she was going to keep failing and failing? What if she was going to remain Alice's puppet? The idea was like a nightmare, which is exactly what she felt she had been living since "waking up".
She'd never stay a puppet--never.

With a loud cry, she ripped at the strings. They stuck fast.
Why?!
What was she doing wrong? What else was she supposed to do?
"Stay with me..."
"No!" she shouted and tried again.
