Well, it looks like those two will handle what's left—I've done my part.
Now that I'm without a body, I'm just a parallel thought waiting in the wings.
I just hope that the fact the doppelganger died doesn't mean the artifact that created it gets damaged.
Still, what just happened… That was crazy.
And, to be honest, pretty exciting.
But the reason I had to do all that makes me angry every time I think about it.
