Not only are you on the same road as before, but a weight is crushing your body, breaking it. A bolder rolls up the length of your body, flattening you bit by bit. You wish it would stop, that you could avoid what led you here. Yet still it moves. | Not only are you on the same road as before, but a weight is crushing your body, breaking it.

You free your Will, and watch with it as you see yourself driving on the docks, chased by police. Your Will explains that you're not on earth, but in the Boulevard, trapped here for trying to free Sisyphus all those years ago. Your Will tries to grasp hold of the key, to take it from you and escape. Mother Camus intervenes, stops the prison. She removes the bestial entity your Will has become, the key with it, and insists that you and Sisyphus return to your cell. A boulder falls on you. | |||

Camus tells you that you know what you've done - you need to be punished, and anything you do [[Faction Paradox]] will just undo. You insist you're innocent, you haven't done anything. But if need be you can change back whatever they change. Camus agrees, but says it would start a [[Time War]], and people pay the price. | Camus tells you that you know what you've done - you need to be punished, and anything you do [[Faction Paradox]] will just undo.

As you arrive home you find others inside, one of them chiding the other for her mistakes. As the latter apologizes over and over, she's beheaded, no amount of apologies can make up for her failures. The remaining woman grabs you and forces you to bring ''The Book of the War'' and explain how Sisyphus intended to free himself using it. You explain that Sisyphus wants to become like [[Shift (Alien Bodies)|the creature]] in the book, a conceptual entity. He already has a legend, he wants to become it. As she considers the issue, you take her sword and stab her, kill her. Using her blood you complete the ritual, the myth of Sisyphus arises from the book. And Mother Camus stands in the doorway once more, glancing at the scene. She closes the book and you find yourself outside. She sighs, feels some small measure of pity for you, as this will never end. You fall to the ground. Onto a road you can remember so well. | |||
