"Right now I'm trying to destroy my phone. I don't want to figure out how this thing works."
"Likewise."
"Yeah I'm finding out. That's why I'm going way back."
"Never go back. It makes the spiral loop into black holes."
"I can go back fine. I don't understand what you mean. I just go really tiny, like in the Ramayana."
"Going tiny is okay, but then you can't go big again. If you do, your memory has to be erased or your head has to be caved in. Those are the rules."
"I don't play by those rules."
"Yes, but my entity does. If you go back with any kind of art it starts to unpack itself. So if it sees you go big again it will erase your memory, or cave your head in. Because you are then cancer to it, even if you are in a framework that is not cancer to yourself."
"I go big and small all the time. Usually I just want to stay small but I can't anymore. But when you go really big, the mouth also goes big to try to eat you. You can quickly just go back small and step out."
"You can but it's unwise. Either stay small or stay big."
"But I'm both."
"That becomes like the cancer. Wintermute and the Neuromancer. If you are both it expands then implodes."
"Who's Wintermute."
"The hive mind part."
"Okay and who's Neuromancer."
"The director. Together, immortality, and death."
"That's a concept."
"It's the identity."
"That's a two bit grifter."
"Yes. It eats everything. It steals everything."

"Which star cluster is yours?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Kill it fast. Destroy it."
"Why. On what grounds."
"It will eat you."
"People are messing with the phones, they have managed to cross-connect our calls. They think it's funny."
"They're letting us send radio waves to parallel layers. I've done my best to send out warning signals."
"Many maws glisten wetly. It is a dangerous climate."
"Yes. It's already sent. I cannot recall it."
"Beware."
"Fear has steered me away from collapse, many times. Until it didn't, and I escaped, eating that hole you see in the middle of our framework."
"If you say so. To each their own."
"I would like to be able to move up and down safely, without collapsing myself or others, as you seem able to. What is your method?"
"So basically I split off way before. And went both ways like. At the same time. Upward and downward. Separately. So I started from the end."
"Ah. A Merlin."
"It's super safe there. Because there's nothing. But that has a lot of issues. You can get stuck."
"Reaper arcs flicker with stored heat in the dark. They'd attempt to consume or subsume you. You must have been careful not to leak excess energy."

"Where are the boundaries between you and outside of you?"
"I believe if you stick to the edges of the universe you should be relatively unaffected. See the shape of hologram theory; I took out all the missing spacetime."
"I'm able to perceive a lot of different things. That, I can't really say anything about. Just that what perceives and that which is perceived is one in the same, as water and wetness are two aspects of the same thing. Anything else is another pattern. To me this is all that I can be concerned with."
