The wooden stories and roof above ceased to exist, unveiling a Gibsian sky.

  Now that human assets were rearranged, there were only two attendees at the sobriety meeting.

  Physically two, spiritually three, philosophically four.

  Via the incessant interchange between objects existing and not existing above Iker, Ameen, and the shadowy anthropomorphic goat standing behind the apparent messiah, it became clear that time, place, and gravity were a matter up to sudden whims. Maybe it was up to the spawning summon, or maybe it was up to the nearby cosmic record player that remained undeterred from the changing laws of physics.

  Shedding tenebrosity, the once-stygian goat had surprisingly snowy fur to Iker as he, himself, backcrawled in terror. The dimension had stolen the chair-shaped asset he had sat on after all.

  "Welcome Liesar!" Ameen yelled, smugly greeting his summon. "See! I am not experiencing psychosis you stupid doctor!"

  Whether Ameen still perceived Alice or he was merely taunting her... to Iker she had disappeared. There was no reality to perceive, there was only escape on his mind. Faith in future bearings, faith in future data.

  The looming goat Liesar exited the vicinity of his still-seated summoner, his sigiled and onyx robe with a towering collar dancing with the nonsensical winds. Insofar as skylight could remain consistent in this flimsy reality, further steps from the entity brought his inverted goat eyes into illumination. One nether fang stuck out from his lower lip and over his upper lip, and it all culminated into a childish grin which juxtaposed his monumental horns.

  Upon Liesar raising his effulging and fleecy hands, in which his metacarpi were a fusion of human and goat, two unlikely rescuers arrived to the vicinity too. Lest the scampering white cat circumnavigating despawning furniture and walls were to be stricken by the astral beams emitting from Liesar's hands, Bastian the cat blocked the attacks with his floating red gears. He obviously protected himself, but he protected a levitating vinyl record too. And with no notice other than the interdimensional nurse responsible for such, activated grenades rolled by Liesar's fleecy feet.

  Iker hoped that Liesar knew less than he did when it came to the remembered rescuers, because through Liesar's perspective with that tangent in mind, then anything could be possible from the grenades nearing the end of their timers. However, from being so focused on the goat mage, Iker forgot that Ameen was right behind Liesar, and the goat mage opted to protect Ameen's vulnerable body from the booms with a mystical and deliberate hug.

  Harboring a flux leap from a hiding spot, Bastian the cat used the blinding flashes and the smoke to land a vinyl record inside the player behind Ameen. And even though Iker kept crawling and running as much as he could from the battle, the realms had another plan for his now digitally frozen body. His knees and toes dug into the sandy floor and his now broken arms were locked into a crucifix formation, outside forces spinning him to face Liesar marching towards him while mired in explosion residue. Iker's clothes became translucent menu options rather than objects in spacetime, and an aperture formed right in the dead center of his chest. Lights forced themselves out of all his orifices, the most illumine one being the one in his chest where he was conceiving Spiderland backwards. Vis tooth helmet remained consistent, but all vis eight limbs were possibilities. Spider legs, tentacles, and eventually settling into four human limbs. From the cosmic birthing overwhelming all Iker's mental faculties, it was easy to miss all of Liesar's stars forming to incinerate his enemies. Upon digital and magical tatters forming vis netrunning trench coat, vis ghost limbs became author-like hands covering the stars like children covering marbles.

  Even though Liesar was closing the distance with open palms in the air, Spiderland flew towards him too while resembling more of a boddhisatva than an elder god.
