They stand up and brush themselves off. There's no time to waste, but there's one final element they've not worked out.

Part of the reason, Tavros thinks, that he's been so game to continue on with the worst plan anyone has ever concocted, is that the more bullshit they endure, the longer they can put off actually doing anything that matters.

But if they get to the part where he's shoving the uncooperative weight of his uncle's corpse in an incinerator, he will stop floating in protective semi-consciousness above his body and it will all be real.

There's no time for an incinerator, now, and somehow, Tavros realizes, reality has caught up with them all the same.

VRISKA: Finally.
