So I can ask you why exactly you're making a pentagram with berry juice.

That's not really the reason, of course, though Wrench is a lot more curious by nature than he ever lets on. He's had a near-lifetime of accepting most of his questions as unasked and unanswered, so there is a novelty to all of this that he's only starting to let himself explore. It's finally starting to sink in that there's nowhere far enough out to completely shield him from the steady ebb and flow of life in this place, and maybe that doesn't have to be such a terrible thing after all. Thus far, no one really knows who he is either. If he can manage to keep it that way, maybe he won't need the benefit of that distance.

And because I'm Deaf, and I've got no clue what you said to me earlier.
