However, in his fantasy the imaginary versions of himself and Megan quickly realize how impossible their relationship would be. First of all neither of them can remember why they are together (a typical trait of dreams, that you are suddenly in some situation but cannot remember what went before).

She goes for burning it to the ground, and the fantasy Cueball is with her, since he has also realized that he will loose here when this fantasy ends. Rather than allow Cueball's idle daydream to end romantically, they run rampant and bring his fantasy crashing to a halt. |
