It’s not like they can save the timeline now, it’s the only responsible thing to do. While she’s clearly shaken, she reasons that they can just undo the damage once the Debug Tool is put back together. Calliope is horrified to see that they just destroyed an entire timeline, but Callie tries to remain calm. The Sisters only realize the damage they’ve caused when they see the timeline they just left “crash" and corrupt itself, leaving only buggy horrorterrors and amalgamated monstrosities in its wake. It starts out like a particularly buggy Bethesda game and quickly descends into a lovecraftian nightmare.

Once the Sisters leave with the code fragment, Beforus's timeline begins glitching. Meaning, they don’t fully understand what they’re doing and they’re to desperate to fully care. The Sisters are effectively script kiddies in this “the multiverse is all code" analogy. Unfortunately, things begin to go wrong once Callie tries interacting with the fragment of code. God-Tier Calliope leaves the conversation at that point, allowing her mortal counterpart to catch up with her later. All he can confirm is that he’s still alive. Karkat admits that he has no idea and that he doesn’t know where to find him now. Calliope reassures him and John helps pull him out of his funk while God-Tier Calliope just bluntly asks when and how Gamzee raised her. Karkat goes into self loathing mode, he doesn’t even know why Gamzee started killing people and he blames himself for that. Karkat would’ve tried to calm him down, stop him, but that plan got shunted aside thanks to the retcon. Which is something that Karkat regrets seeing how he snapped and started murdering people. Karkat explains that Gamzee was one of his best friends, even if he didn’t always treat him like it. Honesty is the backbone of a healthy relationship and the Gamzee thing has been eating at him for awhile now. John questions whether or not he should be a part of this, but Karkat insists. It’s up to Dave to decide if he thinks that will be enough.Īfter Karkat finally wraps up and gets dressed, he and John sit down with the Calliopes to explain. All she can do is listen to and support him. But the only one who will know whether or not meeting Alpha Dave will help or not is him. So, she admits that Dave venting to her was a good first step. The only advice she can give him is from the heart. Rose is smart and she knows Dave well enough to comfort him, but she’s not the psychoanalytical genius she used to think she was. But, Bro instilled a bunch of self loathing in him by constantly beating the shit out of him when he was a kid. He knows, logically, that he’s just a kid trying his best to be a good person. Basically, he’s worried he might end up as a terrible person because Bro was a terrible person and that constant fear of failure that Bro’s abuse instilled in him is keeping him from just dissipating these feelings logically. Now that Dave has had time to process how harmful most of what he’s been raised on actually is, he’s worried about how it’s effected him as a person. Rose brings up a lot of the same points Calliope and ultimately gets to the root of where this new issue comes from. Especially with the way Bro turned out.Īfter a few days of stewing on the issue, Dave finally calls up Rose to have a chat with her. That just leaves the uncomfortable question of what a Dave without friends would’ve looked like. Of course, sense Dirk doesn’t really know him well enough to define Alpha Dave as a person, that doesn’t really clear anything up. Dave speculates that Alpha Dave was who he would’ve grown up to be if he didn’t have John, Rose, and Jade to lean on. After a few cracks at how “fucked in the head" they are, the Striders begin pondering their counterparts. So, it’s good that the Striders can have these conversations. Bro’s abuse still happened and that still creeps in sometimes. Basically retreading the conversation from when Dave gives him that big hug. Dirk comforts Dave about it as Dave vents his heart out at him for a bit. Dave freezes up and flashes back for a minute before Dirk snap him out of it. The way Dirk was dressed, with his hat and his shades, and with how much he’d grown over the years, for a minute, Dirk looked a lot like Bro.
