Sparrow is asleep and the bag is off their head. Their fur is trimmed and they seem a bit familiar to anyone in the room.

"There, the bag is off.” Cole says.

There's a flash of green distortion as Spider appears. The right sleeve of her shirt looks burned.

“What happened to your arm?" Cole asks.

Sparrow is laying face up on the floor.

"I was testing these new fire powers.” Spider chuckles and heads over to Sparrow. "How's he doing?"

“Probably still sleeping.” Cole says.

Upon approaching Sparrow, Spider can see that he’s Terminal but with darker fur and chipped horns.

Cole is staring at Spider with the face of "I can't take this.”

Spider just instantly disappears.

“Of course.” Cole says.

She reappears a few minutes later. "What the fuck?"

Cole just nods.

“How??"

“I don't know.” Cole responds.

Knight walks back in. “The chocolate is cooling and should be done in a bit.”

“Welcome to hell.” Cole says to him.

“It can't be him.” Spider protests.

“It can be.” Cole says.

“What’s happening?” Knight asks.

“This is another trick.” Spider says.

"When he got his long term memory back he fucking cried and hugged me." Cole says.

"It’s. not. him.” Spider says.

“Trust me, I’m not trusting this as much as you are but we have to take the side of this might be him.” Cole says.

Knight looks around confused. “Seriously, what is happening-“ His eyes set on Terminal(?). “OH.”

“No, we don't.” Spider says.

“Listen, all I’m going to say is that if I find my makeup compact somewhere in this house, I’m gonna lose it.” Cole says. “But you are valid for not believing that it is him.”

Sparrow stirs and sits up and rubs his eyes.

Spider sighs and takes a deep breath.

“Good morning, Sparrow." Cole says.

“M-Morning Sparrow.” Knight stammers.

Sparrow looks around and has yellow eyes.

Spider growls as she looks at Sparrow again. "This isn't him.”

Sparrow looks confused as he puts his hands to his head and seems to realize the computer is gone again. His eyes widen.

“You doing okay there Sparrow?” Knight asks.

Sparrow looks over at Spider and gives a nervous smile.

Her expression goes neutral as he looks at her, she takes another deep breath in.

Sparrow looks more nervous.

Luna wakes up. "Why is everyone looking like they saw a ghost?"

“Uhhhhh.” Knight says.

“Look at Sparrow for 2 seconds.” Cole looks so close to losing it but is holding a smile.

"Everything alright?" Luna jumps down from the top bunk and does what she's told? “Huh. What. Wait... what?"

"I'm wonderful.” Cole says.

"But that can't be." Luna says. "I don't understand how."

“Mhm.” Cole says.

Sparrow nervously waves at everyone.

Luna really isn't that shocked, but definitely .... extremely confused.

Luna waves back with a smile. "Hey... uh. Terminal."

Cole just smiles at Sparrow.

"What." Luna says.

Sparrow nervously fidgets.

"...ohhhhh, whoever's playing that joke has a really bad taste for puns, I swear smh." Luna says. “Computer Terminal."

"What do you mean?" Cole asks. “Oh goddamnit."

Astro appears. “Hey Kids! Want to see a dead- OKAY WHAT THE HELL!”

"Hey Astro, it's not Easter yet." Luna says.

"Surprised?" Cole asks.

Sparrow nervously waves.

“How the fuck is he alive?” He opens his pocket farther than it can stretch and rummages through it.

“Good question.” Cole says.

Spider disappears again.

Astro pulls out Terminals dead fucking body. “How?! I was gonna show up and show you guys this but apparently he’s alive!”

"Uhhh Astro, why do you have that?" Luna asks.

Sparrows eyes widen in fear as he stares.

“What the fuck, why do you have that you asshole-“ Cole says.

Sparrow freezes up in fear.

Luna clicks the button on her phone app and transforms into her magical girl form the moment the body is shown.

“It was part of my plan but APPARENTLY THAT'S TRASHED TO HELL AND BACK!” Astro screams.

"Gwahahaha get fucked asshole." Luna says.

Enoch appears, grabs Astro and disappears. "YOU OWE ME 46 DOLLARS YOU CUNT."

“Damn. I was gonna get all mad and shit but just damn.” Cole says.

Sparrow’s shaking and he's crying.

“Do you want comfy mode?" Cole asks him.

Sparrow doesn’t respond. Cole snaps and the body disappears. Cole extends his arms out to Sparrow.

Knight heads back into the kitchen.

Luna turns the flames off then clicks the app once more. She becomes her normal kitty self.

Sparrow gets up and hugs Cole.

Cole hugs Sparrow tightly and his jacket feels like a puffy winter coat as he warms up.

Sparrow sighs in relief as he closes his eyes.

Cole is still tense as fuck and he sounds like he is in emotional anguish. "Can you try and speak for me?"

"AvaccccccCKKCkcKKKK" Sparrow coughs some as he clears his throat after the painful sound.

“Do you want a glass of water?" Cole asks.

Sparrow shakes his head no.

Luna heads into the kitchen to give them some space.

"Alright." Cole goes back to hugging Sparrow.
