Well, hard to tell what was real or not, but since I got hurt for real guess it mighta been.
The last thing I remember, over there, [there's a sharp pang of fear] was this weird old lady or Devil or somethin'. She wanted to make a deal. Some crap about tradin' misery for changin' fate.
[there's a long moment where he looks off towards the treeline]
But what I traded for didn't happen, so wonderin' if it was a trick and she just took somethin' from me anyway.
Didn't see anyone else there, at the end, so dunno what they did.
But yeah, I agreed to it as a contract. For Devils at least, it's not somethin' that you can lie about, so maybe it's still gonna happen.
Or maybe what happened to me yesterday was somethin' totally different. I mean, we did that stuff to people usin' that spell [how long ago was that? it seems fuzzy and distant], so could just be that and all that other crap didn't mean anything.
Wh, who knows... The whole thing could have been an illusion of some sort.
[still, probably not a great idea to enter into contracts with weird old ladies!! god!! rita's giving off feelings of concern and exasperation here, but she isn't about to start an argument right now.]

I remember someone else mentioning having to make some kind of important choice like that... So that's something these trips might have in common.

You accepted the deal?

"That spell"...?

Maybe someone did somethin' like that to me? I dunno. But I feel like...like it was somethin' to do with that contract.
