Episode 22: Glimpse

Overview
(link to episode) "Glimpse" is the 22nd episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts with Minty and a blindfolded Sugarcube riding around in Brandy's glass while he walks down a sidewalk. Sugarcube asks if she can draw with chalk outside, but Minty tells her that she can do that indoors now. After coming home, Minty convinces Sugarcube to go eat beans in her room alone so that he can talk to Brandy. When the two are alone, Minty argues with him about what they're going to do. Brandy admits he can't plan too far ahead, because he doesn't know what will happen. Minty yells that he wishes they could just leave, then stops to comment on the amount of assimilated objects he sees roaming outside every day now. The two stare through newspapers they'd taped to the window (to block Sugarcube's vision) down at a street with a few assimilated objects wandering it. Brandy offers making a weapon as a start to a plan and Minty accepts for the time being. At night, the two are talking alone in the living room together. Minty is trying to discuss what to do about water with Brandy, but he's too busy staring at the night sky. From Brandy's point of view, the sky is full of stars that fill the room with a blue light. He tells Minty to look, but the sky Minty sees only has a few stars in it. Brandy at this point has been afflicted with STARSHEET. Time jumps to another day, where Brandy is walking with Minty and Sugarcube in his head again. Minty is bouncing Sugarcube and playing with her, but it loosens her blindfold and it falls off in time for her to see a giant assimilated object walk out of an alley towards them. She screams while Brandy tells Minty to take her and run, as he brandishes a crowbar and stands his ground. Minty takes her and flees, and Brandy gets one hit in on the parasite before being frightened by it reaching out towards him. He runs away. That night, Brandy sits on the floor of Sugarcube's bedroom and tries to apologize to her. He admits he didn't know how to tell her how much things have changed as she hides under her bed with her toys. Brandy offers to sleep in her room from that point forward if it would make her feel safer, and he is seen later sleeping on the foot of her bed.
