Nui and the Song And Dance Man were in her room. She wanted to know more about the Multiverse.

"So, how many universes are there?"

"Including this one, 3. In this Multiverse, anyway. There was an infinite number of universes, but the Master kinda absorbed them. The other Multiverses, in the wider Omniverse, are fine, though. However, even as we speak, new universes are forming in this Multiverse."

"What's Earth-2 like?"

"Well, there are no Life Fibers in that universe. Our servant there is Houka Inumuta, a convicted serial killer."

"Was he that guy I talked to a while ago?"

"Yeah."

"I don't like him."

"Nobody fuckin' likes him, he's a serial killer that eats people."

"Oooohhh~ Anyway, what about Earth-3?"

"Well, it was similar to here, until two years ago, when our servant, another Houka Inumuta, led a bloody revolution against Satsuki Kiryuin. That caused some major differences. The Primordial Life Fiber there didn't get its power from the Master, but it was still very powerful. However, it was a bit weaker than yours, which is how Houka managed to absorb it after becoming a Life Fiber hybrid."

"What about the different versions of me?"

"Earth-2 Nui Harime is the violent split personality of Shinjiro Nagita, also known as Shinjiro Kiryuin."

"What about Earth-3 Nui?"

"Unlike you, she had people who loved her."

"Fuck you."

"I'm serious. While Ragyo probably does think of you as her daughter on some level, considering how she treated her other daughters, that's not very comforting. She mainly considers you as a useful tailor."

"No, she doesn't!"

"'Nui' is Japanese for 'to sew', and 'Harime' is Japanese for 'stitch'. Your fucking NAME is a sick joke. Tell me, do you remember what happened when you died?"

"No."

"Then let me show you."

The Song And Dance Man revealed his face. A long, black tentacle- his tongue- emerged from his mouth and lifted Nui's eyepatch. It entered her eye socket and moved towards her brain.

"Stop! Please! It hurts!"

"The more you struggle, the worse it will get."

It wrapped itself around her brain, causing her to remember repressed memories of the years after her death. She remembered Death Fibers ripping off pieces of her flesh and eating them. Her flesh would then regenerate, and they would eat her again. She remembered the Song And Dance Man ripping out her eyeball. For some reason, it didn't regenerate, and she was once again half-blind. Nui screamed.

The Song And Dance Man removed his tongue.

"W-why...why did you take m-my eye?"

"I have my reasons. Anyway, the point is, Ragyo also experienced, and remembers, all of that. Do you know what her plan is?"

"It was what we did before, but then that...thing..."

"The Master Of Puppets, also known as the Primordial Death Fiber, absorbed the Primordial Life Fiber. He ate your god. Ragyo is crazy, but she isn't stupid. Normally, when someone would disrespect the Primordial Life Fiber, she'd be pissed. But when someone fucking EATS YOUR GOD, well, of course you're gonna join them. Now, her plan is to wear Junketsu, while you wear Senketsu, and then go kill Ryuko, Satsuki, and her other enemies. Originally, she was just gonna send you. Then, she was gonna kill you to power up the Primordial Life Fiber. She was gonna put you through that Hell for eternity. Now, she's gonna help us take over the Multiverse."

"S-she wouldn't..."

"Yes. She would do that to you."

"You're wrong! I'll go ask her myself!"

Nui walked to the back of the building.

"Lady Ragyo~"

"What is it, Nui?"

"In your original plan...would I have died?"

"Of course. You died the first time, why wouldn't you die the second time? And soon, you're going to die to power up the Master."

"B-but I don't wanna die!"

"Why not? It's not as if..." Ragyo paused. "...You remember, don't you?"

"Yes, I fucking remember! You know, when Satsuki tried to keep me away from you, I thought she was just trying to keep me away from someone who loved me! BUT NOW, I SEE THAT SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO PROTECT ME!"

"I do love you, Nui. You're being ridiculous."

"When's my birthday?"

"...What?"

"When. Is. My. Birthday?

"Uh, well, I-"

"YESTERDAY! I TURNED 19 YESTERDAY!"

Nui started to walk away from Ragyo.

"Where are you going?"

"ANYWHERE BUT HERE!I QUIT!"

Nui stormed out of the factory. She was crying.
