-Later

The scene switches back to inside the Memverse. Orv and Lind finally made it to the Control Room. A small mollusk like creature is floating in the middle of the room. Orv is bewildered by the supposed final boss.

Orv: This? This is the final boss?

Lind: You got this Orv! I'm right beside you, mate!

Orv and Lind are shown in the background screen as Boomer steps out to fly away.

Orv: hey Lind, can I use your drone laser for something?

Lind: uh... sure thing. But what with the Prlz and the earring?

The rest of the team waves and sends off Boomer.

Nautalia: By-ee! Pick me up some Kelpy Krisps! All Ally has is homemade algae wafers.

Ally: ¿Quieres?

——
Boomer takes off in a jet of blue ink into the sun setting cityscape of Inkopolis Square.

Boomer: I'll be back soon!

Amelia is quick to reassure her doubtful brother.

Ami: What he deserves is for the one he loves most to be strong and supportive of him. He trusts you more than anyone, bro. He loves you so much, he tried to hide himself away to keep you safe.

Ally: She's right, Boomer. I don't know you two as well as her, but I can tell you both share a special bond.
——-

Boomer straightens up with a fiery determination as he turns to leave.

Ally: BOOMER!

Ami: Billy?! Where are you going? Orv's almost to the top of the spire!

Boomer puts on his flight goggles and readies to fly out the window.

Boomer: I know

Boomer finally realizes why Orv has been so distant with him. He begins to slowly process everything.

Boomer: So...he was distant to protect me. He was trying to hide his own insecurities.

Red comforts his teammates, knowing much more about relationships.

Red: a reasonable reaction for someone who just realized he is a bioweapon, don't you think?
——

The scene flashes back to “Mixed Feelings” where Orv frustratedly walks away from Boomer. Boomer is still connecting the situation that played out.

Boomer: I feel so selfish... I wanted him to come to ME! Talk to ME! Confide and tell me everything. Even in his hour of need, l diminished him and prioritized what I wanted. Orv...why are you so selfless? You deserve someone better.

Orv pauses a moment, taking in Lind’s words of wisdom before speaking up.

Orv: *sniff* you're right, Lind.
——
The fiery determination has returned to Orv’s eyes.

Orv: I may have changed, but deep down, it's still me. And I know you guys love and care about me regardless!

——
Once again, Orv glomps Lind with omega kraken limbs. Lind lightheartedly shrugs off Orv’s overzealous affection.

Lind: That's our Octo! [again with the hugging.]

Orv: We’re so close! Let's go restore Wilbur's memories so I can apologize to Boomer how horrible I've treated him!

Lind: Oh I think Boomer will understand completely now!

Orv and Lind look into the pearlescent reflection of the Prlz together as Lind continues consoling Orv.

Lind: And you know Orv, you're not the only one who has changed.

Orv: I'm not?

Lind: Most definitely. Just look at Boomer.

——

Lind goes on speaking about how much Boomer has changed BECAUSE of Orv’s kindness. The Prlz reflect pearlescent memories of Boomer from “The Tryout” (Orv’s first battle), Comic #2 .“The Confession” Comic #4 (when Boomer confessed his feelings for Orv. “Flightless” Comic # 10 when Orv left and returned to the surface after visiting his family. “Project Wright” Comic #13 (where Orv is transformed into his Omega Kraken form).

Lind: Before you joined the team, he was a menace! A fireball! A cluster--well you get the idea... But he's changed so much too! And yet, you never stopped loving him. Like an oyster transforming an irritating grain of sand into a lustrous pearl. Your patience. Your kind hearts. Your gentle spirit has never changed despite everything.

Realizing he accidentally might have offended Lind, Orv immediately apologizes and glomps them. Knocking their beret off.

Orv: LIND!! I'm sorry I didn't mean to reopen your wounds!

Lind is unfazed by Orv’s overzealous affection.

Lind: Hehe...ok, not quite the same level as you, but you're still YOU, Orv.
——

Lind puts their beret back on and holds up the Prlz to Orv, who is sitting wrapped in his tentacles.

Lind: So WHAT if you're different? Different is beautiful!
——
Orv’s reflection is shown in the Prlz as Lind continues speaking affirmatively.

Lind: So what if you have new abilities.
You would never use them to harm anyone. Right?
Orv: NO! NEVER!

Lind: Right. You were scared and let your fear drive your actions. You would never hurt anyone

The two sit side by side by the vending machine as Orv continues to vent to Lind.

Orv: LIND! You weren't there to see me! See what I was. I almost destroyed the city! I almost killed Boomer!
——

Orv cries out in tears with his Omega Kraken hip tentacles outstretched.

Orv: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IT FEELS TO BE A FREAK?

——
Lind is taken aback by their outburst, but then responds earnestly.

Lind: heh...well yes actually...

Lind: But why not tell us about this? Clearly it's hurting you.
——
Orv: Because I didn't want to burden you guys more than I already have.
——
Orv’s nervous and reclusive reflection is shown in the Prlz.

Lind: You're not a burden Orv, you're our mate.

Orv: How can you still say that after learning what I am?

Lind finishes Orv’s thought on who would understand him.

Lind: Wilbur
Orv: *nod*
Lind: So are we not here to restore his memory?

Orv sulks and admits that Wilbur isn’t the entire reason they’re here in the Memverse.

Orv: yeah, I mean we are, but,
It's not why I've been avoiding you guys.
——
A memory of Wilbur with his Omega Kraken features shows as he talks to Orv. Wilbur is dishearteningly talking to Orv about his fears of their kraken powers and how dangerous they are to surface dwellers.

Wilbur: I don't understand how you can live among them. Knowing what you are. What you're truly capable of.

——

Orv is crying onto his octophone as he and Wilbur relay messages back and forth

Orv: And he was right. I'm different. I'm not like you guys. I'm a monster...

The text messages say

Wilbur: we aren't like them, Orville.
Orv: i know but, i have a life up here
what am i supposed to do?

Wilbur:do what you must to protect them.

The chapter picks back up on a Vending Machine floor. Lind has their arms folded as they’re addressing Orv in a calm, yet confrontational manner.

Lind: Orv...Why didn't you tell us this was bothering you?
Orv: I just...

Orv stutters, knowing he’s finally been caught.

——

Orv transforms his arms back into Omega Kraken arms. They give off an eerie aura of fear as he looks at them and begins to explain everything.

Orv: I felt so different after you guys saved me.
The only one I could confide in, was the one who truly understood what I was.
