Victor and company are back in their apartments in their pocket reality, having said goodbye and thanks again to April for helping Victor. Doc and Dee are giving him some time to recover and make sure he's truly himself before they contact the other two members of their little posse. Victor's currently sitting on his bed, going over what he's going to say to Alice in his mind. The mental blocks are still up, though he can hear the King grumbling. Don't see why I shouldn't at least get to see her. . . .

She's my girlfriend, Victor says firmly. Then, reluctantly, he adds, But if she truly wants to see you. . .we'll figure out something. After all, the King might genuinely be a friend of hers.

Alice PINpoints into Victor's apartment. If she were thinking a bit more clearly, she would have sent notice on so she was sure she wasn't interrupting him in the shower or anything, but as it is, she just appears in front of him. Just seeing him up close makes everything worse. She loves him, and she hurt him. . . .

Victor jumps as Alice appears out of nowhere! "Oh! What -- Alice!"

He gets up, reaching out to her with a smile. "I was just about to contact you." The smile falters. "S-something's happened. I -- maybe we should wait for Marty -- no, I should tell you s-straight out--"

"Hello, Victor." She wishes her voice wouldn't tremble so.

She steps away from his outstretched hand. She wants nothing more than to step into his arms, pull him close and never let him go, but she knows she's lost that right. "I know already," she says softly. "John posted to the Nexus looking for help for you."
