“OKAY I ADMIT IT! I BROKE THE FOURTH WALL! IT’S GONNA SHATTER INTO A MILLION PIECES AND IT’S ALL MY FAULT! GO AHEAD AND TAKE ME TO CARTOON JAIL, I DON’T CARE!” As the worm sobbed, Peter walked into the scene. 

“Sorry about this, Mr. Repairman. Jim tried to break the wall so we could put the inbox for our blog, rather than hiring a professional. It wasn’t well put together, and the hole started cracking so we called you.” 

“If you ask me, those Warner kids could make a crack twice as big and the wall would still stand.”

“Um…”

The Repairman stepped back a bit, nonplussed at the worm’s outburst.

“…I don’t think you can go to jail for this…” he tried to assure him. “It can get annoying, but it’s not technically a crime…”

As Peter explained, he nodded. “I would’ve come here anyway, but thanks. And, heh, yeah, they probably could.”

He did a double-take.

“Wait, how did you get my number?” he asked.

“So…you’re the guy who repairs the fourth wall when it’s broken, right?”

Jim looked at the gaint crack on said wall, and back at the waiting blob of ink.

“Peter did it, I swear!”

“Yup!” the Repairman replied, matter-of-factly. “And I can guess why I’m here again…”

He shook his head at the worm’s feeble excuses. Given what little he remembered about this world, it really could have been anyone.

“Yeah, thanks,” he replied, without thinking. “I already knew–”

His bucket fell with a clatter as his hands covered where a mouth would be. He appeared to be sweating a bit as the crack got even bigger.

After that suspenseful moment, he sighed.

“I can see why it happened so often back then,” he remarked. “…But why the sudden lull?”
