Well, that is why you being here, too, complicates matters. It is no longer only me who has to be alright with this.

In some ways, for me, it would be better to forget about this. [To know I almost had the ability to do it and did not manage it...] But the same likely isn't true for you.

Still. What happens to you, and Jester, and Yasha in a few weeks' time... I don't want to force you to go back and live through it for nothing, either. Maybe it is better to call it all lost.

[ Maybe back at the very beginning, when he still didn't have much. He would've had reservations about such a drastic measure, but maybe he could make the concession, for Molly and Beau. But right now, there's someone that he quite very specifically doesn't want to do this to. ]

This thing... It's that bad?

I don't know the answer to that.

[he knows what he was told, about the iron shepherds torturing and breaking people, but...]

Our hope was to stop it before it became bad, but I don't know if we will succeed.

Right. Got it.

...

If it helps alleviate anything, my Fear Factor foray was pretty -- it was pretty bad. But I made it there, so.

[puts a hand on his arm and just. pats it. god.]

Well, sure. I think... you either survive or you don't. If you survive, maybe things change, but you still wake up in the morning. And you are strong, so there is no surprise.

I still do not want such things to happen.

[ Is pat. ]

I... try to be. Yeah. You too.

I appreciate it, Caleb.
