“The movie marathon was interrupted midway through, so he only got to see the majority of one of them. I still recall him reading off the titles from the promotion of the event. It included ‘The Tangler’, ‘The Thing That Ate Ice Station Zulu’, and ‘Nightmare in East Williston’. Apparently, ‘The Tangler’ was as much of a classic there as ‘Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde’, which was mentioned in a familiar list of popular monster movies.” At least some things between worlds are constant.

Arriving at the bike, Benjiro follows lead from Walter to make use of it. Rather than trying to swing a leg up and over, he carefully steps around the back tire and up over the bike seat. Thankfully, Walter being so much shorter than him lends to a lower bike seat so he can manage it. Easing to sit with his feet kept on the pavement to balance the support, he shakes his head at the offer, “You shouldn’t risk it. I can walk it, I’ll just be slow.” Walter can assist regardless to help get the speed above a lumbering walk so Benjiro can walk as much as he rides momentum.
