[Oh it's definitely abrupt. A lot of things in Ryslig are abrupt. Do you think you get a warning before corpses rain from the sky? Or a whale crashes into downtown Bavan? No!!]

I feel... [Which is when her mood starts to dip. Being peppy and excited takes a lot out of you, how does Raps do it?] Pretty stupid, actually. About all the things I said, the things I did. To Rapunzel, and Eugene... and you.

I'm sorry, Varian. For kidnapping you, and everything that came after. I should have listened.

Thanks, Cassandra. I mean, given the whole "Project Obsidian" thing and stuff...I'm pretty sure we can just say we're even, now.

[He didn't mean to blast you with his amber gun, is what he means.]

Even though your circumstances were different than mine...I get it. It's hard to pull yourself back in line when you're already so deep, even when you know you're doing something wrong.

And of course, you remind me of that. [A bit of a sore subject, even now.] Yeah, I'd say we're pretty even at this point, all things considered.

[You tried to squeeze her to death, she probably cracked a couple of your ribs... it works out, somehow.]

...But yeah, it is. I always wanted more out of my life, but I never wanted to hurt anyone to get it. I'm not sure I would have even come back to Corona if I didn't need that scroll. And well... things spiraled.

[HAHA, YEAHH...]

The most important thing now is that you remember. And you remember that, whenever we do eventually get out of here...things are going to be okay.
