Retriprotrusion

He called it the “Retriprotrusion”, though I heard others say “Reimbursting”. Pure payback enters our world through Cosmi-Compt’s person, and instantly crystalizes; but not always comfortably. I offered him my seat on the shuttle, but he refused. He let us help him back onto his feet, though, and the protrusion seemed bigger by then. He grabbed his Recipracquet and headed out, assuring us, “I just need to dish out some payback.”
