Episode 25: AWOL

Overview
(link to episode) "AWOL" is the 25th episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts with Gum and Razor searching together for food and directions. Semi-notably, they both briefly stare down Brandy and Minty from across a waterway. At night, the two sit on a windowsill together and stare at the sky. Gum tries to ask Razor what happened to her friend (Fuzzball), but Razor is too worried about the sky. She claims that there's "too many stars" and it seems to distress her. Gum insists that it's the lack of light pollution revealing more stars, but Razor knows that's wrong. The two both see the stars and at this point are afflicted with STARSHEET. Gum comforts Razor by placing a hand on her bristling fur. Razor remembers being touched like that by Fuzzball and calms down. That night, the two are trying to sleep. Now instead of a flashback, Gum has a nightmare about the past. It's not made entirely clear in the nature of the nightmare, but Gum seems to be from some monster hunting organization that she regrets working with. She leaves the organization to help Sharps in the Rings after hurting her, and the two fall in love at some point. The dream takes a nosedive into Gum remembering how Sharps died during a rainstorm, and she wakes up gasping in response to actual thunder.
