He canceled the reality where he stood at his pet’s bedside, found himself still at the computer. Best to leave the world where his pet wasn’t so tired, in case he wanted to ask more questions that morning.
…I guess that’s one way to cheat himself to infinite questions. Coil is a genie’s nightmare.
The worlds he created weren’t real. They were little more than an especially vivid, accurate dream.
Sure, keep telling yourself that.
To enjoy a whole separate world, free of any consequences beyond the ones he wanted? It would be unreasonable if he didn’t indulge in it. Anyone would, given the chance.
This, however, I can get behind.
These entertainments kept him centered, utterly calm. He needed that, after the irritation of dealing with the Travelers’ girl.
He touched a button on his phone, “Mr. Pitter? My office.”
He hasn’t actually told us what those entertainments tend to entail. I have a feeling we’re about to find out. Maybe one reality’s version of Coil will have a normal conversation with Mr. Pitter, whereas the other one does something completely off-the-wall to watch Pitter’s reaction?
Note that “doing something completely off-the-wall” could run the entire range from making silly faces to appearing bare to firing Pitter to murdering Pitter to silly walking, depending on what Coil secretly enjoys and how much Wildbow wants to reinforce that this man is not what he seems at first glance.
