"See? The 39th causal loop is collapsing. Every dimension that branched off from the 38th iteration is getting deleted . Folded back into the main trunk. And guess whose garage is the pressure valve?"

"No time for your 'about tos.' The Cosmic Index just ticked over to 39. You know what that means?"

"We are the 39th. The jump failed. We're the ones holding the line. And the deletion wave is…" He checks his watch. "Three minutes away." Rick And Morty --39-LINK--39-

The 39th Iteration

They land in an identical kitchen. The chair is silent. The cereal is still. Folded back into the main trunk

"What?!"

The Smith house kitchen. Summer is scrolling on her phone. Morty stares blankly at a bowl of cereal that is slowly rotating counter-clockwise. The jump failed

(looks up): "Is that why Dad's chair keeps moaning?"

"Oh, man. What do we do? Do we fight it? Do we run?"

The ship flying directly into a pink void, Morty screaming, Rick laughing, and the number 39 burning like a brand on the moon behind them.

"That's math, Morty. Don't get emotional about integers." He pulls a lever. The room stretches like taffy.
