In which it all comes together.

Elements from everywhere will be here; the Introducing Our Main Characters chapter, flashback chapters, as well as some modern day chapters.

There's a mix of historical canon, movie/musical canon, this story canon, and new stuff that is now story canon.

There better be a lot of comments places in this chapter I put A LOT of work into this haha.
Not to mention how dang long this is. DO NOT read through this chapter quickly. Take your time. DON'T speed through it for the sake of speeding through it. Don't read this instead of sleeping. I want you to thoroughly enjoy this chapter. I don't care how long it takes before you can read it without having to worry about anything else. I'll wait. There's a lot of stuff in here.

So. This is the big climax.

Not the ending climax, mind you, but this is one of the biggest moments in the story.

Is everyone ready?

Enjoy! :)

Saturday, June 4th, 2022: a day they'll never forget. The day they finally remember just who they once were.

They come in four cars; Nick and Louis, Sean and Tony, Jack and Charlie, as well as Sarah and Kathryn and David.

They're ready.

All together, they walk through the door.

They can feel the spiritual energy from the moment they walk in. They're all in so much awe right now.

The woman who greets them smiles warmly. "Ah, you must be the group of friends who have found each other in this life as they once did in the last one, who wanted to do sessions in pairs."

A lot of them grin sheepishly.

She stands up from behind the desk. "I am Naomi," she introduces herself, and shakes every single person's hand. "I'm here to welcome you to our sacred space."

They all love her already.

"Nick Myer and Louis Adamas will be the first two," she says.

Their hearts speed up.

In fact, everyone's heart speeds up. This is the moment they've all been waiting for. And now it's finally happening.

"Text us when you two finish," Jack tells them.

"We will," Nick promises.

"It will be anywhere between an hour and a half to two hours," Naomi informs all of them. "And then we'll see who is next." She beckons Nick and Louis. "Come follow me."

And so she leads them off.

And their session begins.


----------------------------


The room they walk into makes them feel the energy in the air even more than where they were before.

This is going to be something they'll never forget.

There are two zero gravity chairs facing each other with some distance between them, and a third regular chair in between them.

"Normally, there's only one client in here at a time, " Naomi explains. She gestures at the chairs. "Please, sit down."

And slowly, they make their ways to the chairs and sit down. Nick leans back in the chair immediately, trying to relax his nerves. Louis copies him, hoping it works.
