Summary
"Heisenberg?!" Ethan lowers his gun, feeling suddenly, horribly tired. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too, Ethan." Ethan's first name practically drips out of Heisenberg's mouth. He's been using a dinner plate as an ashtray, Ethan notices—the kind of minor detail the mind focuses on in moments of extreme stress (god, he's probably lucky the bastard bothered to find himself an ashtray at all).
But Heisenberg's still talking: "Dropped by, you weren't home, so I let myself in. Wouldn't want me loitering around your porch, bringing down the neighbourhood, would you?"
Ethan grits his teeth. He'd actually forgotten just how annoying Heisenberg could be. "Which still doesn't explain what the hell you're doing here."

Summary
"Well, you're a werewolf," Stiles says.
Kevin has always had a pretty good poker face, but Stiles takes him completely by surprise, enough that there's a tell-tale pause that lasts a beat too long for the, "No I'm not," to be believed.

Summary
Ethan knows he died, but he's unfortunately unable to rest in peace. His consciousness is still active inside the records of the mutamycete. He's not been back since the Dulvey incident, but it's not just Eveline and the Bakers anymore.
After a few years, a new location of memories has appeared on the horizon and Ethan is drawn to it. Before long he finds himself trapped inside, and to make matters weirder, the puzzling house has a secret in its basement. As Ethan finds out, this is true in both in the records and in the world of the living. Somehow, against all odds, Ethan Winters is alive again. -

Summary
Ethan tips his liquor bottle to his mouth, intent on getting a decent buzz going before Heisenberg hauls him off to the castle, where he gets himself mauled by a Lycan again. Or speared up by deadly spikes. Or-
The alcohol burns on the way down.
Cheap vodka — again.
Liquor sloshes as he lowers it, propping it up on his thigh. “What’s the Theseus Paradox?”
Heisenberg’s brow twitches beneath the brim of his hat. “How quaint,” he murmurs. “A drunk man grasping at philosophy.”
“Answer the question.”
There’s a beat and Heisenberg shifts his grip on the hammer, metal creaking faintly as it settles against his shoulder. “It’s about identity,” he says finally. “Replace something piece by piece — every part, one at a time. At what point does it stop being the same thing?”
—
Ethan dies. Ethan wakes. Ethan dies. Ethan wakes. He's trapped in a cursed cycle on the worst possible day and he just can't seem to get it right. Can't save Rose. Can't save Mia. Can't do anything but die and wake up next to that overturned truck again.
Well. At least his aim gets better.
