Can you just give me like. A play by play walkthrough for dummies of what happened in unite, synchronization. Like what did Dirk do and where on the time line was it and how did he know to do it? That flash is so confusing

Dirk Unite and Synchronize are the culmination of Dirk knowing he has to get shit done, and also AR plotting a liiittle bit. AR is a more forceful and kind of creepy Dirk, and I’m pretty sure the head-sending was totally his idea.

So basically, Dirk has seen Jane’s waking self just die, and the Miles have reached Roxy’s place in the Waking World. Before they can move on and try to get the Session properly started, he knows he has to act, quick, and make sure everyone’s alright. However, his own Dreamself is knocked out. He cannot do anything on Derse quite yet. The course of action is obvious- They have to get out of there as FAST as possible.

He takes both of his bots and leaves them in charge of entering the game in Roxy and his stead, passing through the Window to Roxy’s place, and waking her up. Then- Again, likely at the behest of AR, and pressured by the time running out, he knows he needs to wake his Dreamself up… So he decapitates himself and lets Jake deal with his decapitated head.

Once kissed, he wakes up with his Dreamself as the Main Self, and Roxy is also there but she’s grossed out by Jane’s mouth blood and can’t bring herself to smooch her- So he smooches her instead. Derse is ALSO being attacked by Red Miles, these coming from DD instead, so they have to get out of there. So since they can’t take the easy route Jane takes through the Transportalizers to the Frog Temple, they have to take the hard route through a Seed, made to blossom in the Temple millions of years later, just when Jake’s about to wake up and kiss Dirk’s head to awaken him on Derse- So technically Dirk and Roxy pop out of the Seed BEFORE Jake kisses the head.

Since Jane waltzed into the Temple through the Transportalizer Pads, Dirk just snatches her right up, and now has all three of their Dreamselves safe and sound in the same place. All that’s left is waking Jake up and watching him snog with his decapitated head and bam, time loop closed, everyone has still one living self alive, Roxy and Dirk’s places are entering the medium, and all 4 players left reach the Medium through Jake’s Land.
