Reshuffling the flock on each side of the break, Sam purposefully perches them on objects that resonate with the feeling of the missing X-Man Will.
Then, the perching birds seem to blur as it becomes hard to focus on them. When sight clears again they're instead threads of gossamer reaching up into the sky towards their counterparts in the upside-down as Sam uses herself as a medium to try and link the scattered parts of the missing third of Will.
Linking the two entire mindscapes like this was likely a challenge too far, unless Sam wanted to weave
herself into the very fabric of the mindscapes as connective tissue. That sounded rather permanent and uncomfortable, and besides, she had a class in the morning she couldn't miss. Actually combining the two sides into one would likely take the cooperation -- or at least, begrudging acknowledgement -- from both sides.
Piecing together an X-Man, though? That wasn't out of the realm of possibilities
at all, and well within Sam's theoretical mental powers. You know, probably.
Now. The important thing to remember about mindscapes, no matter how real they look, is that they're all symbolic and whatnot. The town might have been the
realm of the X-Man, but it was also very much the same
part of Will's head as the X-Man. The remains of the damaged part of Will had been put to good use -- it had been mixed in with the mortar of the Upside-Down, helping to keep the new construction stable and upright. It had been re-purposed by the citizens of the lower town, too -- several of the racks of meat, and quite a bit of one of the more fragrant stews, also brimmed with the essence of the missing third of Will.
Removing them and linking them together would cause a bit of a ruckus, but it was likely worth it, as Sam began to drag the bits and pieces of the X-Man to her.
