Heaven

Tyson’s views on the concept of heaven are rather disinterested.

He cares about what happens in his life, rather than what might happen once he dies.

If pressed and forced to decide what he believes, Tyson would be stuck thinking for a long, long time. Eventually, however, he would settle on the idea of multiple universes and that in passing in one, life continues into a new alternative universe where alternate paths may be walked.

It isn’t something Tyson puts any particular faith in or that he’s counting on as a ‘safety net’ to fix the mistakes of this life, but it is the answer that Tyson finds the most satisfying in life not ending completely, in having a second chance, and feeling the most logically sound to him.

He finds the thought comforting, in a distance intangible way. He knows its comforting, but doesn’t feel that comfort. It’s unimportant to him when compared to what he may do in this life. Too distant to ascribe any strong emotion or intent behind.

Any future life is for that version of Tyson to handle, not for him.

Nightmares

Tyson gets nightmares every week, often more frequently. This is partially caused by his irregular sleep schedule, though that also helps him avoid some nightmares by not entering a deep enough sleep to properly dream. Stress is also a strong factor.

Generally, Tyson’s nightmares revolve around his memories, chopped up and remixed together.

Words he heard in one context used in another; Sebastian’s threats against another to protect Tyson, instead snarled into his face. Seeing Jethro out cold from a night of drinking in defiance of their father and a blood-soaked kitchen from his own work in the web mixed together into something worse.

It’s rare, and always worse, when once of Tyson’s memories play out directly as they happened. Usually the worst moments of Sebastian’s abuse and the most gruesome jobs that Tyson has carried out for the Moriarty Mirrors.
