Summary
Mulder sounds upset. Why is he upset? Normally this is the part where Dana would tell him to slow down, think through things rationally, but she can’t seem to get the words out, it’s like her tongue is too big for her mouth, like her throat locked tight to brace for a blade that never came and hasn’t figured out how to reopen.
“We’re gonna have to-- I have a penknife back in the car, I should’ve-- god, I’m sorry, Dana, I’m so sorry.”
He must really be shaken up; he only calls her Dana when he’s worried about her.

Summary
Tyler meets his eyes then. There’s a numbness in them that really does scare Josh. “Your social security card is in your bedside drawer,” he tells him.
“Yeah, it is.”
“Your middle name is William.”
“Also true.” Where’s he going with this?
“It’d be pretty stupid to kill me here.” Tyler shrugs. “Or, you know, rape me.”
Josh flinches. “I’m not—“
“If any of me was found here they’d know it was you, so either you’re an idiot, or you’re not gonna touch me.” Tyler shoves his hands into his pockets. “And I don’t think you’re an idiot.”
.-
Josh is nineteen and only dreams about murders. Tyler's a college drop-out with a knack for solving cold cases. It works out well enough.

Summary
Fear seeps into him. Maybe they’ve captured him again, put him back into stasis. But he can’t do anything. It’s like he’s not really here, a ghost floating above his own corpse. He hears whispers through the black.
“Can’t just kill him.”
“Like…Morally, or literally?”
“Let’s be generous and say both.”
He fights for control, but he already feels himself slipping away, his body refusing to wake up to this new nightmare.
Why won’t you people leave me alone?

Summary
A clearing in the woods, a grey-black horse and its rider, already sliding off the saddle as Torch streaked across the open ground and Clancy, motherfucking Clancy, his Clancy, running, eyes glinting in the failing light-
The collision hurt.
A full body slam, no accounting for their strength, either of them. No slowing down, no addressing rationalism, no exhibiting self control. Something far-off in the woods howled into the night, and Clancy and the torchbearer lay in a heap on the uneven ground, tufts of grass and rocks digging into Torch's back as Clancy heaved into his neck. His wet gasps were everything to Torch, proof that Clancy was alive, and Torch was still trying to make his windless lungs cooperate enough to breathe right without moving at all, without ceding the vice-grip he had on Clancy's shirt even an inch. Wrapped close as they panted- chest to chest to hips to hips to fucking toes, their boots knocking, kicking dust up, Clancy's knees digging into the dirt like it would move for him, would turn soft and cradle them and never let them go.
or,
The final cycle in all of its devotion, from the moment Clancy wakes up again, through the end, and after.
