Bleak here, bright there

The day after the first visit, things started to go south in Proserpina's country, as the government became more and more openly hostile. Thankfully, Proserpina's state resisted the hostility, so she was able to stay for hopefully 3 more weeks, as state officials fought a slowly losing battle against the federal government.

During this time, Proserpina, Parallel Dimensions' refugee support staff, and Proserpina's parents discussed the refugee system and made arrangements, with Proserpina's parents choosing their own home.

Over the next 2 weeks, Proserpina regularly visited Gene, fucking like rabbits, with plenty of titfucking to go around, and going on occasional dates to the Perkins restauraunt next door, the normal version. Naturally, Gene had to check his living room and kitchen to make sure his roommate was not out, each time Proserpina visited. Unfortunately the two weeks went by fast, and things got worse faster than expected.

Knock knock knock

"Yeah?" Proserpina answered, sitting on her bed, browsing the internet on her phone. Her door opened, revealing her parents and a mysterious guest, and Proserpina gasped.

"Shit's hitting the fan earlier than expected," said the mysterious guest. "We have 3 hours before the extermination squads arrive in this town, so it's time to move dimensions. But while we can move easy peasy, we want you some final time with your family." The mysterious guest was one of Parallel Lovers' counselors. Within moments Proserpina was in tears. The dreaded day had come. They went into into the living room while they consoled Proserpina's family. Plenty of tears were shed from Proserpina's parents as well. After 2 hours, the Counselor gave each of them handheld technocubes, and explained they were to be used to collect their belongings, and being multidimensional storage boxes, they had infinite room, and acted as a magic vacuum.

Proserpina unplugged all her electronics in her room, and sucked all her belongings into her cube. Her mom cleaned up the pantry, collecting food and kitchenware from all the drawers and cabinets and the fridge. Her original dad collected his and his sister-wife's belongings after disconnecting all their electronics. Afterwards, there was fifteen minutes of tearful goodbyes before Proserpina finally relented, making sure she had at least one of the family portraits with her. Thankfully, it was cloned atom by atom so her parents could keep one too. A second counselor had already visited Gene, so he was ready for her anytime. A half hour after everyone left, soldiers wearing fascist insignia barged in, expecting to find an incestuous family to exterminate, only to find a completely stripped apartment suite with nothing left behind.

Gene was sitting on his bed when he saw a flash of light in his walk thru closet.

Proserpina Plutonium has entered your dimension.

Gene got up, facing her. She was clearly upset and sniffling, and holding her technocube.

"Hey..." Gene opened his arms, offering consolation, knowing she just said goodbye to her parents forever. Proserpina took a couple steps forward, and dropped her technocube before running into his arms, sobbing. Unsurprisingly, Gene's douchebag neighbors began pounding on his wall due to the noise.
