Recap:

"You, have yourself a deal" Wren said, her smirk grew even more as she felt herself drifting over to Sparrow, finally finding her feet upon the ground she held out her hand, still with the slight blood patch from the blood clot earlier.

Sparrow grinned and slapped her hand into Wren's, shaking in agreement.

"Let's go kill Jimenez" Wren grinned, looking out of the non-existent window onto their memory of Krimson City, admiring the slightly crumbling building indicating they were still connected to STEM.

"Yes, let's" Sparrow agreed, the relief in her mind almost evident as she found peace with her counterpart.

"So, how are we going to get out?" Wren asked as she folded her arms and stared at the door that led them out of their mind.

"I have this theory from a friend that-"

"From Ruvik?" Wren interrupted.

"Why does that matter?" Sparrow narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

"Because you could have just said Ruvik told you instead of 'a friend' I mean you have like 2 friends and one of them can't talk properly so it has to be Ruvik!"

"Can you please stop being so annoying, it doesn't matter!" Sparrow shouted, making the floor she stood on tremble.

"Calm down little girl" Wren grinned, "what did that nurse do to you?"

"I'm not sure" Sparrow replied before gripping the bridge of her nose, "but it feels great" she confessed before locking her eyes on the unchained door, "based on a theory Ruvik told me, this image of the door leading to our minds is our image of feeling trapped, even when one of us goes through the door and it slams shut behind us that's just an image, an illusion in our mind that controls us" Sparrow said as she put her hand on the door handle.

"Y-You said we would work together!" Wren stuttered, eyeing her hand on the handle. Instantly letting Sparrow know her fear.

"I know" Sparrow simply said before opening the door. Like any ordinary building the door led to a hallway connecting doors to other rooms, "we have to change the image of the door into nothing, an archway"

"Why can't we just go through at the same time?" Wren asked.

"Because the door is a barrier, we both have an image in our mind that only one of us should be in control, if we change that image, so will the door" Sparrow finished, looked over at Wren who wore a confused expression.

"But that would mean we would have to merge as one person just to get through" Wren said, her menacing eyes flickering to Sparrow's.

"Yes, at least until we pass through the door" Sparrow replied.

"Well then let's go" Wren yelled before grabbing Sparrow by the shoulders before closing her eyes and leaning in. A static like noise echoed into the room as Wren passed through Sparrow before merging with her. Sparrow gripped her head at the sudden ringing that emerged in her ears.

Whispering of muddled words began to play throughout her head like a broken gramophone repeating the same part of the disk, she couldn't even concentrate enough to think about what was going on.

'Think... Concentrate... Relax... Become one' she struggled, but eventually the loud whispering died down and the ringing stopped altogether.

Sparrow stood up straight, a mix of Wren's thoughts and her own bombarded her thoughts, opening her eyes they were pitch black, giving her the appearance of a demon. As their conscious and minds became one, they became a part of each other, over exceeding the limit of control.

Suddenly they clutched their head, eyes wide as they stared up to the ceiling with their backs arched before they yelled in pain. The voice sounded demonic, both in a high pitch and a low pitch synced together. Sparrow and Wren both felt a throbbing in their head like a headache that won't go away, the room around them darkened and developed cracks into the walls. Before the more pain was thrust upon them Sparrow made the move in their synced body to step forward, but their leg gave way and they fell through the now clear archway.

Crawling around the floor in agony they rolled onto their back and couldn't help arch and clench their fingers beside them.

Their synced face began to shift and morph as if pulling away from each other, the face split into two faces, stretching away from each other until suddenly two forms rolled away from each other as if ripped apart.

Sparrow closed her eyes in relief from the pain, her eyes now back to their original bright colour.

"Are you ok?" She heard her own voice from above her.

Opening her eyes whilst still lying on the floor she saw Wren hovering above her, an unusual concerned expression on her face. Opening her mouth to speak she realised she couldn't once again, making her frown.

"You're back outside our mind now, you can't speak anymore" a weirdly calm Wren stated, she offered Sparrow a hand to help her stand up, making Sparrow suspicious of her.

"Listen Sparrow" Wren began, walking close to her counterpart and putting her hands on her shoulders, "when we merged, did you realise what we became?"

Sparrow's eyes wandered to the floor in thought, 'all I can remember is psychotic thoughts, an endless ringing of voices'

"We became an abomination, we are the same person yet we are not, if our minds were the same our body wouldn't be able to sustain itself and I think that's why we are split" Wren explained.

'Why are you so...calm?' Sparrow experimentally asked, not sure if her voice was being projected to Wren at all but because she was her other half she thought it would come natural to her.

"Why? Do you like me being insane?" Wren's grin came back on her face "honestly I don't know, don't worry my insanity should hit me again soon"

Sparrow couldn't help but smile, glad that they were finally getting along after 25 years of war, finally accepting that they couldn't live without each other.

Suddenly the hallway started to pulse, a wave of disorientation shifted throughout the hallway again and again until an all too familiar yell could be heard in an echo channelling through the hallway they stood in.

Turning towards each other they immediately identified the yell.

"Leslie!"

'Leslie!'
