on. What now? What now, now that the darkest, dreariest parts of the metaphor
had become solid once more?

What were we supposed to do? Keep going. Keep going, as we had once before. But

  MERISSA: Where you're going doesn't matter as much as how cool and badass you
are on the way!

  HEX LUTHOR: Where you can be safe and in control.

  THE PIPER OF THE KIWIS: Toward the victory of those who made you what you are.
