The [[Multiverse]] is breaking down, its [[time-crystal]]s shattering. [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny Everywhere]] tries to put it back together as it unravels, but can't manage it in her state of discorporeality, where she is not a singular incarnation with a singular point of view, but simply the collected wills of all Jennies, perceiving fragments of all their lives all at once. She tries to push herself into a single, human frame of reference — and succeeds a little too well. As [[Collapsed Cosmos|a single mashed-up reality]] again reaches some kind of stability, Jenny is a human woman sitting in front of a computer — and remembers nothing of the predicament she was just in… | The [[Multiverse]] is breaking down, its [[time-crystal]]s shattering.

Waking up, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] reflects on how odd it was that she really believed herself to be some kind of multi-dimensional traveller in her childhood as she makes her coffee. Hearing [[Laura Drake#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Laura Drake]] stirring in the bed, she is briefly comforted by the knowledge that at least, this is a universe in which they're friends — before shaking herself free of the “foolish notion” of her and Laura existing in many universes. Jenny prepares to walk out to the library, but not before grabbing a gas mask (which appears to be entirely normal in this world) and checking the reality stability on her smart phone (81%). | Waking up, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] reflects on how odd it was that she really believed herself to be some kind of multi-dimensional traveller in her childhood as she makes her coffee.

Walking through the street, where the sky is a “dull staticky grey”, a rather depressed [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] wonders whatever happened to the heroic hopes and ambitions of her youth. She crosses other paths with other “Chaos-touched souls” wearing gas masks. | Walking through the street, where the sky is a “dull staticky grey”, a rather depressed [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] wonders whatever happened to the heroic hopes and ambitions of her youth.
