We follow another day in the life of VWX Town citizen Edwardston Resident. He wakes up in the Home o’ Fibs, his claimed residence…

… and takes a look out the window to see if any major changes have occurred in the town since he went to sleep. None spotted.

He decides to do some meditation this day before heading out into the virtual world. A little synchronicity here: note that the position of Edwardston’s arms here are almost exactly the same as the ballerina’s he tried to identify so hard with the day before.

Perhaps thanks to the additional calming influence of the meditation, Edwardston begins to think outside the VWX Town box, taking the perspective of a green crystal shaped skybox on the neighboring property to the west flying the rainbow colored flag.

Edwardston also makes an identification this morning between the neighbor’s rainbow flag (left center) and the similar rainbow colors of the Temple of TILE’s labyrinth, also glimpsed in the above snapshot (right center). This makes another kind of one-to-one match for Edwardston using this particular perspective I, his user, provide for him once more.

Edwardston looking toward the neighbor’s low skybox from his back porch. Two rainbows can be glimpsed.

He heads over to the Power Tower Gowlery, remembering that the same labyrinth was also in one of the 1st floor collages (Gila 07: “Temple Dors”).

In looking at the other collages in the gallery, he notices that the Temple of TILE building is in not one but several, including Gila 05 (“Height and Depth”)…

… and also Latona 01 (“Exodus”). “Exodus from what?” Edwardston finds himself thinking. “Is this a picture of the fabled Pietmond? Is this the *end* of Piemond?” If Edwardston would have peered a little closer at Latona 01, he might have made out the name New Pietmond on a dark structure just below Spongebob’s pineapple house. So Edwardston kind of got it right: the picture is about the dismantling of Sikkima’s New Pietmond, which existed just south of Rubi’s VWX Town in early 2013. Edwardston hasn’t made that connection yet; that Baker’s lived in this area a number of times with different sets of builds as a result.

Edwardston moves up to the 3rd floor and the Lis series, taking another look at Lis 09 (“Up into Victory”). He understands this is about resurrection, and correctly associates it with his own recent birth as VWX Town resident.

This red haired figure from the following collage (Falmouth 01) is somehow him… reborn in this town in this time. It is both a man and a woman in one, he realizes, staring at it. He even attempts to physically merge with the figure, as he had earlier done with the Confluence ballerina (and Bracket Jupiter had done with The Shining’s Jack). With less success this time — the red haired being was a little too large for the match.

Edwardston teleports outside VWX Town toward the house with the rainbow flag. His figure smushes together into a ball shape, and he feels he is being rejected and punished for not being able to do as Baker Bloch wished and identify with the town’s central ballerina at the Confluence Place.

Soon his correct form pops out from the ball again, but he still feels exiled. Dejected, he decides to head away from VWX Town in a southwesterly direction, soon finding another small community in Rosieri. “Could *this* be a new home?” he thinks while wandering its deserted streets. No, it would not be. I don’t think.
