Summary
After Stanley successfully escapes the parable with the Narrator, he finds himself alone in the real world without his only friend. Half a decade passes and Stanley is now a lead editor and writer for a book focused news outlet when his workmate and friend, Tom, recommends him a book that leads him to reminisce of his time in the parable. Stanley, now with a new favorite book, gets the opportunity to interview its mysterious author, Nigel Salt, through a series of emails which soon leads the two to become pen pals and maybe even friends. Stanley only hopes his relationship with Nigel will fill the hole in his heart from losing the Narrator.

Summary
The spell seemed to break the Narrator out of his silence, though. “There it is again. The coughing. Totally unnatural in this setting, Stanley. There’s not even enough dust to irritate the average human lung – I needn’t check, I just know. Stanley, you can’t actually be...” Stanley heard a great deal of shuffling, like gathering papers and flipping through them furiously. The Narrator sounded odd. His voice was cresting near something, but Stanley couldn’t focus on it long enough to understand what.
“Sick? You can’t be sick, Stanley. It’s not possible. You can’t eat. You-you can’t excrete. You can’t get tired. This is how it’s been – how it’s always been.”
--
The Narrator and Stanley have a row. Emotions are high. Perhaps someone dies in the shuffle, but it's not as though that matters. That's the purpose of resets, after all. They erase all damage ever made.
Until they don't.
Stanley gets sick. This is not something the Narrator is equipped to handle.
