Homecoming
The next day and a half were a complete blur for Tom. Machina broke the news of Winona's death to Professor Atticus and Silver Head, neither of whom bothered trying to hide their emotions, weeping like children on each other's shoulders, except that it was only Atticus with the real tears. Not much was said after that, except that Winona's courage in sacrificing her life to steal the Teleporter would never be forgotten. Tom hadn't known her at all, but he still felt sad that she was gone.
As for how Tom had winked them away to safety, no one understood what had happened, least of all Professor Atticus. He kept saying that the amount of conviction Tom had channeled, the sheer energy of his desire to wink himself and the others back to Earthen Reality, should've killed him. It must've been such an unusual display of System that the instruments back in the Triangle didn't know how to measure it, or surely Silver Head would've noticed an anomaly.
