It's been a few days since Laura got out the hospital, and nothing important or interesting has happened. Except for Theo and Sadde having just captured a new card, Glow, though that's debatably quite boring. Theo turns to Sadde, as though she might have the answers. "Okay, seriously, a card that glows? First it's wind, then it's a huge bird, then you have a blue lizard, there's a bloody Easter bunny, then a shadow, then a sword, and now a card that glows?"
"Yes, he was you until a few hours ago, now how about we all go inside and start brainstorming ways of preventing his death and the deaths of whoever else the Twin may have created?"
"Yeah, disappearing when the Twin is caught – you do remember that, right? Kero told you it like… thirty minutes ago or something?"
He looks between the two of them and pauses, smiling slowly. "You know, now that I see the two of you together, my mind has suddenly gone aaaalll the way to the gutter."
"Yeah, there are two of us, nice to sort-of meet you."
Meanwhile, Tyler's thought process goes something like this: You're really kinda frustrating, I would really like to kick you, can I trade you in for another guardian, and how, seriously, just how can somebody who is the guardian of the cards be so stupidly incompetent?
"… Did I not tell you about the Twin? I guess I didn't tell you about the Twin. It tapped a few people at school today, me included."
...Sadde looks stunned. "In what way, shape, or form is his copy disappearing a good thing?"
"So that's gonna be our plan, eh? Defeat but not capture the crazy copying card and hope it's up for a little chat? How do we even contain them?"
Tyler looks to Kero. "Any input on this plan, or are you still stuck on 'there's another Theo'?"
"Okay, well, we need some rope in that case." He looks at Theo and says, "I have no idea where any rope is, at least not in this house – you got any idea?"
