(BOOM, CRACK)
(The arm explodes in midair, into dazzling light.)
(Wow, what lovely fireworks.)
...nhhh... w-where's... Yvette... [something in heavily slurred Japanese]
(Looks like that's a no.)
…
…
(It has fully dawned on Caroline that she's fucked up.)
(Starts sobbing and running down the stairs.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Gracia doesn't follow, tucking up her knees into her arms as she sits-
-Yvette stares up into the sky-
-He feels... different. Like something new has just arrived. A new set of possibilities. New opportunities to get things right again-
-A new chance-
-A new... oh wait. He's a boy. That's what it is. Just that-
Whoa...

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...Get the fuck out of my laboratory.
(Cold pissed now.)
Ahhh... nnghhh... hah.
(Simón finally manages to pop his hand back into place, and shakily gets up into a sitting position, looking up at Yvette.)
Muchisimas gracias, compañero, you saved me... But where is my friend, the young girl? Has something happened to her?
(Caroline flees into the forest, sobbing the whole way.)
(super sorry Daisy, but I've got one more post in me and have to sleep soon...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Yvette just glares at Claudia, slowly shifting back down, down down-
-His plates start to contract, fold in on himself, and before long she's standing there in her human form again-
-She smiles down to Simon, smiling a bit and giving him a pat
I was just trying my best. Thank you for helping me. For everything. And you too, whoever you are. You have a strong throwing arm.
-She looks over to Sad!Claudia, then walks up behind her, starting to wheel her out the door-
Come on. I'm taking you out of here. We're leaving all of this behind.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?…!!
(Surprised wag.)
¡Compañera! How incredible, you can—... should I still call you compañera since you, ah... you have some man inside you also?
…
(Stares up at Yvette, teary-eyed and relieved and frightened and just enamored.)
...You can have take her. If she's stupid enough to throw her ultimate ascension away, then Claudia Caroline Macaluso has no part in my life. I guess you can also take that errant id and its unfortunate amours for that shambling case of anencephaly. I should have seen their weakness earlier...
(Grunts, pulling herself up.)
I was narcissistic and trusted them, for they are myself. This was mistaken. Even I can be corrupted, apparently, and those two are living testaments.
So go. Take your chubby little cripple bimbo and get lost. I certainly won't be poking my nose into your freakish affairs anymore, and if you know what's good for you, you'll do much the same. You disgusting freak.
(Limps over to the only other Claudia left, the little mean one on the floor, and cradles her tenderly in her arms.)
nhhh... Y-Yvette...
(Is dragged into the den.)
(and I must sleep)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019I'm... a girl. Except just then, I was a boy.
It was...
-She blinks, shaking it off, going right out the door with her friend wheeled in front of her-
I think I'm both. But at different times. It doesn't really matter. Not right now. What matters is we saved that man and ourselves and stopped Claudia. Stopped the bad ones, I mean.
-She gently pats Claudia's shoulder-
You'll be okay. Let's get you somewhere you can rest.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

-he also flinches when the arm flies up-
U—uh!...
-he peeks down into it to see the whole mess-
LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!
