    Summary

    “It’s a courtesy in this business, you know,” Narrator said, casually. “Typically people do it with a monologue, you know, 'we were hired by your enemies', or 'did you know how much your head’s going for on the market', that kind of thing, meant to make us worry about who’s closing in on us, or how well-funded they are, what else they’re willing to pull and so on.”

    Confidence wavering ever-so-slightly, she asked: “Really?”

    “No, he’s full of shit.” Stanley said before he could catch himself.

    -
    Business is going extremely well for the Special Acquisitions department, which is great for their egos but terrible for staying out of trouble. Curator practices trusting other people, difficult as it may be. Mariella has time to think about what kind of person she wants to become. Narrator presses on like nothing's changed - if he keeps going forward, he'll never have to face his past.

    Stanley realizes, too late, how little he really knows about Narrator.

    Summary

    "I think you’re missing what Curator wanted out of you. You managed to walk out of her museum with something you shouldn’t have, and I suspect hiring you was more about giving you motive not to do that again than anything else.”

    Stanley considered this, and concluded: “You’re just mad she dragged you back to work, aren’t you?”

    Narrator said, “Curator is paying us both very generously,” and that seemed to be addressed to himself as much as it was to Stanley.

    -

    If you have super powers, why not don a mask and cause some trouble?
    Unfortunately, Stanley robbed the wrong museum, and now he's being put to work in the 'Special Acquisitions' department, stealing objects of great importance or power from private collectors and bringing them back to the safety and security of his new employer's museum.

    Narrator has been trying to quit this type of work for years now, and yet, here he is. He's here to support and train the reckless new agent, and good god he already needs a raise.

    (Despite it all, Mariella is still here.)

    Summary

    The Narrator has no idea how humans have managed to keep it together for this long if they have to manage this fatigue and more just to exist. It's ridiculous. Absurd. The Narrator is better than that. He should be better than that.
    Clearly, he's not.

    On the many times Stanley helps repair the Narrator over the course of Blank Decay, and the one time he can't.
