After an altercation during a bicycle day party, Bracey is kicked out and separated from his boyfriend, with no way to get back in touch. With Default left largely uncommunicative following the successive large doses of psycholy, and with the drugs themselves now shown to have lasting consequences, Bracey is abruptly and forcibly estranged from much of the community.
The dissembler is unable to handle both the sudden ostracism, and Default's abrupt absence from his life. He gathers a binder of Default's drawings, notes, and collected book excerpts, takes what he believes to be a fatal dose of psycholy, and passes out in an abandoned garage.
After taking such a massive amount of drugs, Bracey is surprised that he wakes up at all - but as he opens his eyes, he realizes, he knows this place. It's where he first encountered mylover#1. Default's drawings are scattered all around him, and the psycholy still courses through him as Bracey looks at the drawings. He can't help himself from laughing as he sees just how it's all laid out – he knows what he needs to do.
