The collage of sound becomes deafening until it cuts out completely and Infinite snaps out of this nightmare and right into the next scene.

Station square, 1967. Infinite starts, as if from a nightmare. He doesn't quite shake it off. He may never.

ROTOR
Welcome to Station square, kid.

Their bus has arrived in Station square. Rotor hands Infinite his duffel. Infinite takes in his surroundings.

INFINITE
Don't look a thing like what I remember.

ROTOR
Not much does.

worried about Infinite

You know where you're going? Staying with friends?

INFINITE
Don't got any.

ROTOR
What about your squad?

Infinite looks at his Jackal Squad tattoo, gets lost in the thought. Beat. Rotor backs off.

Well…good luck to you.

Rotor Leaves. Infinite Wanders To Mystic Ruins. Hippies Pass. In The Swirl Of The City, Infinite Sees His Friends Everywhere He Looks.

female hippie brushes past him.

INFINITE
Can you help me out?

Again, Infinite is dismissed by the woman whose help he solicits.

Infinite approaches another female hippie

INFINITE
Can you help—I'm looking for—

This female hippie spits in his face. Silence, music out. Infinite contains himself, wounded. He wipes his cheek with his shirt cuff, then rolls up his sleeve. He sees his Jackal Squad tattoo. Aching, he stares at it.

[INFINITE]
Blue ink
Sinks in
Like a ghost
That won't wash off your skin

It still comes back
It still comes back

Dogs fight
Bees sting
Watch them die
And you can't do a thing

They won't come back

Where do you go?
I don't know
I don't know anymore
There is no before

Only now
They scoff, they spit
No parade
All you get shit

When you come back
When you come back

Repeat, replay
Each death, each day
There's a guilt
That you can't shake away

For coming back

Where do you go?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

How to come back
Come back
COME BACK
COME BACK!
COME BACK!

Come back…
