Quoted By:
Conveniently, Management is chatting with Gil and Horse Face. You attempt to bend reality to eavesdrop, but the Manager detects you immediately, ignores your feeble efforts to read her(?) mind, and forces her way into yours. You scramble to hide sensitive information, then realize that the Manager is currently distracted. Seizing the opportunity, you take your "bad eye" out and slot it in the other way around. You can see strings permanently now, and remove the Management by snapping their tethers back to wherever they came from.
You tell Pat you saved her. She's still irritated, but tells you that everything's even between you now. Horse Face comes in, and you snap him back to his usual self. Dream Gil comes in, and you wake him up to speak to Us, who is displeased that you've absorbed Claudia. It's also displeased to see Pat, whom it accuses of "tormenting" the goo even though she knew it was sentient. It wants to absorb her temporarily to read her mind, which she categorically refuses. You work out a deal where Pat will make independent bodies for some of Us instead. You also attempt to convince Us that you'll give Claudia back as soon as you can, but it doesn't trust you, forcing you to go in and rescue Gil all by yourself. You do an okay job cutting him out, but wind up with some extra goo attached...

- Who is Horse Face investigating, and why?
- Who wiped three years of your life from your memory? Why? Can Richard really not remember them either?
- What is the Herald? Why does it keep showing up? What does it want? What are you supposed to forgive yourself for, exactly? (You haven't done anything wrong!)
- When is the world going to end? How?
- Do you have a destiny? Is it God-related? It's a good destiny, surely?
- Why does Richard keep developing stab wounds?
