"Chase, please! Where are you? We need you!" Molly yelled out at him

"No, you really don't." He held his head in his hands, seeing as this was all a simulation

"They're trying to get y/n!" Alex's voice yelled out now

"Spoiler alert: They catch her." Chase spoke

"Chase! Chase, I'm so scared!" Y/n ran into the room panicked "Please, I need you to protect me! Without you, I'm so lost!"

"The outcome of the battle is predetermined, so it doesn't matter what I do now. Watch. This is when Alex comes crashing in.Right..." He pointed to the door y/n following his gaze as Alex flew into the room landing on the ground "here."

"See? We need you!" Y/n pulled him up from his seat tears falling out of her eyes "Chase, you're a hero. Heroes fight! Heroes fight... heroes fight-"

Y/n's face began to glitch as chase watched it happen

"Y/n, you're not real." He told her "I'd know that even without this weird
thing happening to you, because you would act like this"

"I need you to save me!" The girl yelled out before hugging him

"See, that's exactly how I know you're not real." He pushed her away "Real y/n never needed saving."

"Chase, I am so scared! I need you to protect me!" She continued "Without you, I am lost!,

"Where are you, Chase?"

"Save us!"

"Everyone just leave me alone!" He yelled, the girl in front of him disappearing

Y/n and Gert loaded things into the car, Dale was letting them leave with old lace it was surprising but I guess he wanted to be a good guy

"Sweetie, can you guys come inside for a second?" Dale poked his head outside "I've got something to give you."

"We really don't need any more bootleg Phish tapes for the road, Dale." Y/n said as she walked into the room

"Oh, come on! You love Phish! Some "Bouncing Around the Room"? Used to play that for you when you were‐" Dale tried but stopped himself "Listen, this was supposed to be our road trip cash. I want you to take it. Find Molly. Make sure she's safe. Unless you change your mind about me-"

"No we've got this" gert said grabbing the pouch with miney

"-coming with you.. " Dale finished

"Thanks to you, I am leveled up with Old Lace and up for anything that comes my way." Gert smiled at him

"Which is mostly just gonna be like freeway traffic gridlock and convenient store burritos." Y/n nodded

"Don't eat those." Dale chuckled

"You gonna be okay? " y/n looked at him

"Me? Yeah!" He nodded trying to convince her but didn't do very well "I'm just gonna commit to some full‐time homesteading. You know, grow my own food, home brew kombucha. Love the 'buch."

"Oh, I did pick up some Guangxi Horned Goat powder." He said randomly "You know, it's for digestion. I'll get you some."

"I don't need that." Gert shook her head

"Gert, IBS is genetic. And stress makes it worse. So, I will get the goat powder." Dale walked out of the room making the two look around. Stacey Barged into the room

"Guys"

"Mom? How did you find us?" Gert questionee

"I knew he would bring you and Old Lace here where we created her." Stacey explained Dale walked back into the room with the bag but once he noticed Stacey he dropped the bag
