“You know… I just remembered, there are a whole rank of cogs who actually break the fourth wall on purpose as part of an attack.”

He’d dealt with those birds before, odd cogs they were.

“Hey— since you can fix the Wall and interact with it, does that technically mean you can be on either side? So basically you could go literally wherever you wanted to?”

“Yes, let’s,” the Repairman replied, almost solemnly.

He perked up when the VP mentioned Cogs who deliberately broke the Wall. Still, if the VP didn’t deliberately do it, why would these?

“Oh, good to know.”

He would ask more about them later. For now, there was more the VP wanted to know.

“No,” the Repairman replied, “I can’t go to…”

He cringed. He really didn’t like discussing the other side. He was only concerned about the side he was on, and talking about the other was dangerous territory.

“…‘the real world,’ as they call it. I can visit other Toony worlds, but that’s not too special these days.”
