    Summary

    It's loop... 86, you think. Or, no, you touched a tear, and this is the space between loop 85 and 86.

    There is an eye. You think, this symbolism is awfully heavy-handed. Around the eye is a shade you've never seen before. It's bright and vibrant and striking, and shines in such a way that is nearly blinding. You shield your own single eye.

    It gets ever closer, bearing down on you like an expanding Sun, dying. "HEY, I SEE WE'RE BOTH IN A BIT OF A PICKLE. WANNA MAKE A DEAL?"
    "what?" you manage to choke out of your strangled throat, finally.
    "WELL, YOU'RE IN A TIME LOOP, YEAH? AND I'VE BEEN UNFAIRLY IMPRISONED. YOU'RE TRAPPED, I'M TRAPPED, WE GET EACH OTHER."
    The eye widens.
    "WHAT IF I TOLD YOU," it says, "THAT I KNOW HOW YOU CAN GET OUT OF YOUR HELL?"

    You talk to everyone at the end, and then you go talk to the Head Housemaiden. Euphrasie. You go up to her, and you ask her about Wish Craft, and—

    And nothing changes.

     

    You lay in that blinded clearing, and stare at the sky.
    Bill appears above you. He blinks.

    You hold out your hand.

    "Deal."
    "DEAL."
