Recommended song: A guitar and a heart, by M83
Skewb was standing in front of his portal to the Red Universe.
He had just wiped a save he made a while back where he had a Squirtle. He was going to continue that, but something got in the way which made progressing impossible.
Jamie was still deciding, but said Skewb should start anyway seeing as she couldn't do this particular journey with him.
"Hmm, I don't know." Skewb said "What if I stop again? What if this all becomes nothing? What if I quit after 2 days?"
"Think about it this way, if you don't do this now, you probably never will. And quitting isn't such a huge deal is it? It's better than never starting. I think you should dive into it while you still can."
"You think?"
"Yeah. Go for it. I'll silently root for you in the background."
Skewb smiled.
He closed his eyes. The old dead multiverse came running back into his memories.
"Wait…" Skewb said "What if I lose this one?"
"Yeah, but how likely is that? You know what the Resu legend is now so you can prevent it."
"I suppose."
"Even if you do end up losing it, you still have us to go back to, you still have Jason."
"Jason? I dunno, I already talked to him once. I only told him my story, I don't wanna keep bugging him."
"Didn't he say he was glad to help you should you need it?"
That was true, he did say that.
Skewb opened his eyes. It occurred to him that even if he were to lose his world again, he was always have Espurr to go to. He was always have Jamie. He was always have Skew…
...And he would always have Jason.
"Espurr" he said "Wish me luck."
"All the best, soldier."
Skewb looked at the portal in front of him.
This was the moment.
He walked forward until he was at the other side of the portal.
