As the three of them entered the subconscious with Thomas's body Poppy said "We can leave him here to rest, it's much safer in here anyway." Mira and Lily set him down gently on the grass as they asked "What do you even do in here?" Poppy pointed up into the sky at another planet and said "I was gonna create more but I just ended up repairing what Malice and Opal broke." Lily stared at the planet and said "You mean they destroyed that?" Poppy nodded and said "Unfortunately yes, it's caused me quite the hassle." As they turned back to the unconscious Thomas they seen another Thomas crouched down in front of it. Lily and Mira stared at him and shouted "There're two of them!" The conscious Thomas glanced behind himself at them and said "Sup." Lily pointed at hi m and asked "How are there two of you?"
Thomas turned to the sleeping him and said "I'm the mental one, the me in front of me is also me, but I'm just the part of the mind that refuses to rest." Mira stared at him and said "I'm guessing your mental version can't leave this place?" Thomas nodded while pointing to the sleeping him and said "Correct, only that me can leave this place, and once he wakes up i won't be able to keep this part of my mind active simultaneously" as he smiled he said "yet." Poppy stared at him and said "Your wasting time sitting here and talking, you should go work hard and show them instead of bragging about something you can't do." Thomas's smile grew wider and said "Yet." Poppy stared at him and said "Speaking of training, how is your training with that other dimensional being going?" Thomas stared at her and asked "Do you mean Ruby?"
Poppy nodded and said "Yes her." Thomas's smile faded as he said "It's not exactly what a typical person would call training." Poppy stared at at him and asked "Is that why your hiding this memory from me?" Poppy pointed at him and asked "Is she using you for your body?" Thomas stared at her confused and said "I don't think so?" Poppy stared at him angrily and said "I'm gonna start chiseling into those memories, I refuse to let her use your body for her lust." Thomas picked up his own body and said "I don't have much of a clue about what your talking about, so I'll just drop myself off in a bed and unlock the memories." Once he was gone Poppy opened up a screen in front of herself and said "I'm sure the two of you want to see as well." As they stared at the screen it was pitch black with only sound.
The sound was part of a body being sliced, and the sizzling of something burning with the occasional squish and popping sound. As Thomas reappeared Poppy stared at him and asked "What is this?" Thomas stared at the scream and shivered as he said "I-it must be a broken memory." Poppy stared at him and said "Your a terrible lier." Poppy raised her hand to the screen and said "Then I'll just share the experience you got from this memory." Thomas glanced at her and shouted "Don't do that!" As Poppy felt what he had felt she collapsed while coughing and screaming this pain... it burns!" Poppy stared at him and asked "Is this what she put you through." Poppy pointed at him and said "That popping sound, it was your eyes from the extreme amount of heat, wasn't it." Poppy slowly stood up and said "She is putting you through a hellish amount of pain."
Thomas walked over to Poppy and picked her up as he hugged her and said "I'm sorry you had to feel that pain." Poppy stared at him and said "Don't be sorry, your the one that's been enduring it for so long." Mira and Lily stared at Poppy and said "Let us feel it, it can't be that bad!" Thomas turned to them while holding Poppy and said "I'd rather you all didn't feel that same pain." Poppy turned to them while in Thomas's arms and asked "Do you truly want to feel his pain?" Mira and Lily nodded as they said "We can take it!" Poppy held her hands up to them and said "Because your both also very close to him I know your also worried, I'll only force you to feel the pain for a second." Mira and Lily nodded and said "We're ready." Poppy stared at them and said "Prepare yourself." Without another second they both fell to the ground screaming in agony as they shouted "The burning... is unbearable!"
Once the screaming died down they all stared at him and asked "Are you alright?" Thomas thought for a second and smiled awkwardly as he said "I should be fine." Poppy stared at him and said "You could've asked me to break the connection to your nerves." Thomas stared at her and said "Sorry, I didn't wanna bother you unless it was absolutely necessary." Poppy stared at him and shouted "You endured what should've been death countless times and yet you say it's unnecessary?" Poppy stared at him and said "Just because you won't die doesn't mean you should endure the pain." Thomas stared at her and said "It's really not a big deal, the pain is already gone anyway." Poppy glared at him and said "You might not have had to feel that pain if you'd just asked me to cut the feelings from your nerves." Poppy hugged him and said "We care about you, we don't wanna see you suffering."
As Thomas stared at her Mira and Lily hugged him as well. Thomas glanced at the three of them and mumbled "I really don't understand people, am I being scolded or comforted?" Poppy looked up at him with a sad gaze and said "Next time your in pain ask me to help you." Thomas stared at her for a few seconds before saying, okay, I'll be sure to ask you for help next time." Poppy tucked her head down on his chest and said "You better, or I won't forgive you!" As Ruby appeared in front of them she asked "Am I interrupting something?" Thomas glanced at her and said "So you really did come in here." Ruby nodded and said "It was easy to break in." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "You left it open on purpose didn't you?" Thomas shrugged and said "I might've." Poppy wiped her face and turned to Ruby while shouting "I won't let you cause him anymore harm!"
Ruby glared at her and said "I'll do whatever I please, stay out of it you inferior being." Poppy used Thomas's arms as a support that she leaned over while shouting "Shut it you sadist." Ruby summoned a spear and aimed it at her while saying "Another word and I'll end your pathetic existence." Poppy pointed at her while shouting "I don't care what you say your going to do, just stop hurting him, the pain your putting him through is unbelievable." Ruby swiped Poppy from Thomas's arms and shoved the spear through her and setting her on fire while shouting "Shut it, if he has complaints he can say them himself!" As Poppy's form turned into nothing but ash she appeared as a full sized woman in front of Ruby while shouting "As I said, do what you will to me, just stop causing him pain."
Thomas stared at Poppy and mumbled "I'm gonna have to make her another physical form aren't I?" Ruby stared at Poppy and asked "What are you, you didn't die despite me destroying you once?" Poppy pointed at her and shouted "I'm a part of his mind, I am a part of him that he has given free will." Ruby's spear vanished as she said "I went against his wishes." Ruby bowed down and said "Please forgive me for going against you." Poppy stared at her and asked "What are you doing?" Ruby kept her head down and said "I suppose I did not formally introduce myself, please forgive me for not doing it sooner." Ruby opened her eyes without moving from that spot and said "I am a dimensional being, far from the strongest, but I was once the pinnacle's ally before he vanished."
Ruby glanced at Thomas who still had Mira and Lily clutching his arms as she said "I was supposed to stick beside him and serve his every whim, but in his current state, it's unlikely that he will survive any attacks from other dimensional beings." Poppy stared at her and said "Isn't harming him an issue then?" Ruby nodded and said "Yes, however, damaging him makes him stronger, so if I attack him now he might be strong enough to beat them when they show up." Thomas walked over to her and sat down in front of her as he said "I wouldn't worry about it too much, besides, we already have another dimensional being guarding this dimension." Ruby glanced at him and seen him sitting there, smiling without a care. Ruby began to stare at him as she slowly grinned and said "That carefree look, I remember it well." Ruby sighed and said "I really am no match for you."
