[Fern knows what it's like to hinge all your hopes on portals. That had been the case when he and Varian decided to build a portal to help everyone back in Deerington, and then later when the dream was breaking down and people were leaving. Even now the whole creepy eldritch ocean causes him a lot of consternation, doubly so when someone he knows returns to it.
He's been avoiding the portals that have appeared, not wanting to accidentally go through one and wind up back in Ooo. He's made a life and a home here, he doesn't need that place anymore. That's what he's trying to do when he comes across Zib, frantically trying to break through one of them, screaming like he's having a complete breakdown.
It goes without saying that Fern is racing over to Zib, even as his body starts cracking and shifting. He ignores the vileblood, not caring that it's an extreme danger to his body. As soon as he's close enough he's grabbing Zib's arm.]
Dib? Dib! Dude, you gotta chill, that stupid alien isn't worth it!
