Emmet knew that he couldn't stand still, here all alone now. He needed to do somethin else to support Jasper.

The agent shifted his posture slightly, looming slightly taller over Jasper, and tilting his head slightly to look down at him, almost as if he had grown larger, and more powerful, from that mere shred of falsehood, paraded to him as legitimate information.

He looked as if he was a satisfied, tyrannical, spiteful cat with claws sharper than kn

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 223: The Sheet Tides

Emmet, in the throes of the days that ran past him, shifting about with nothing happening, was only sure of several constants.First, he loved Jasper and knew now that he had done one of the worst things imaginable to the man.He shouldn't have tried to isolate him.He shouldn't have obsessed over all the communications in and out of the facility and he shouldn't have tried to exploit the man, using his mind and memories as a gateway to pull Emmet out of his own world, not at all caring for how Jasper felt about their relationship and understanding, that as the technical owner of the time machine, Jasper was entitled to use the device as he saw fit and that Emmet had no other choice but to accept whatever Jasper chose to do.He was not entitled to knowledge of the future.He was not entitled to a fantastical adventure with the time traveller.He was not entitled to the knowledge that Jasper brought with him.And now that he knew that,

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 222: Seizures to Sleep

Lila was tired.She was very, very tired.Emmet was put in one of the guest rooms that had been given to her, in the flat above the cafe that she was now living in, and where she would now live for the rest of her life.It was strange, living in a place just as silent no matter if there was one or two people living there.She hadn't been particularly planning to burst into tears or to have ended up blowing up in that deplorable man's face, but at the same time, she couldn't exactly say that it wasn't to her own benefit.He deserved the pain that he was currently suffering and if there was any other way for him to finally learn from his mistakes, then she would probably use that method.It was a shame then that there was only one, pre - determined timeline then, depriving the man of any other kind of learning.She knew that he hated her with a passion and would much rather leave her to die bleeding out in a ditch than actually help her

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 221: Calming the Waves

Green_One had watched his siblings go through their periods of sadness, anxiety, and fear, and knew how to comfort them as they temporarily isolated themselves, as they screamed out in anger and shame, and how they had burst into tears, sobbing into his work shirts and creating stains that would barely be dry by the time he was able to finish consolling them, bringing them to school, and then making his way to work.He was far too used to consolling all the others around him, holding his mother close until the final moments where he was forced to leave the room as the doctors injected her with the necessary coktail to end her suffering, once and for all, easing his own as well to see her finally smile for the first time in months, on her deathbed, no longer pained by each breath she took and the weakness of each and every single one of her joints and muscles.Green_One had been the one to raise both of his siblings, and he had witnessed them grow from wide eyed idealis

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 220: At the Tables

The two of them had separated when the others had arrived and they were now to work on their pieces.Gretel had moved back to Green_One's table, back to where she had first sat, and the two of them continued on in a slightly awkward silence that had been present back before when they had first begun working together, back when they both had arrived here on their first day.The only real difference was that they were no longer speaking to each other, or were particularly willing to speak to each other.Gretel knew that she was being a coward by not saying anything. She knew that she could be muttering on about her own sheets that she was now working on, asking Green_One questions about his own work, something new and but still extremely maths heavy as the page was covered in equations from beginning to end, but at the same time, something inside of her hesitated.She swallowed down nothing, her throat dry and a headache on the verge of forming.Woul

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 219: Holding Each Other Close

Gretel kept up her grip around Green_One, continuing to stand there and hug him as he didn't respond to her, his arms still at his side as she continued to whisper apologies into his chest and hold onto him.After a while, after a period of time that felt to Gretel as if simultaneously too long and yet not quite long enough, a loose pair of arms came up to wrap around her as well.Both of them stood together, within the grey light, for a long, long time, holding each other close and nearby.When the hour was over and when all the others came, Gretel knew that she was to separate from him, walk back to the tables, pick up her pencil and then begin working once more on the time machine that was blatantly immoral to create."Thank you, thank you, thank you," Gretel whispered to Green_One."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gretel whispered to him."Thank you, I'm sorry, Thank you, I'm sorry," she continued on whispering to him.He had lo

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 218: I'm Sorry

Gretel looked up at Green_One and immediately wanted to look away again.She wanted to retreat back to her little corner where she could go back to pretending to be alone, hoping that she would be forgotten by the world around her and she would finally be free.She hated that Yuki was technically right.She hated that Yuki had been able to so thoroughly dissect her ideology and her strategy, before flipping it on its head.She hated how Yuki had so thoroughly been able to destroy the reasoning and all the shields that Gretel had managed to put up to justify what she had been doing and for obliterating whatever sentiments that Gretel was taking actions for the greater good.

The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 97: His First Words

The hangar bay that Jasper felt himself being wheeled into was all decked out in an impressive spectrum of all the shades of grey.Darker grey floors that were probably designed to minimise cleaning efforts stretched out and branched down the several corridors that lead out of the central,

The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 96: Say Nothing

"I hope that you've enjoyed your adventure because we certainly did."The Sýnnefan official that was staring down Jasper had a stern face that looked unaccustomed to smiling or experiencing any real positive emotions. It was worn and rugged, each silver scar on it boasting experienc

The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 95: Towards the Far, Far Future

Jasper knew that, when he hit that button to abandon Lila, he would have no idea where he would be going, and when he would be arriving.The time machine had probably been jostled throughout the entire duration of his stay with her, and he couldn't imagine at least some of the force of his

The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 94: The Hospice

Mrs Holmes, in fact and thankfully, had removed Lila's school supplies and possessions, before she had tossed her bag into the wash with all the other muddy items that she had been wearing when she had trodden into the old lady's kitchen, exhausted and filthy from her hazardous run.Once t
