Who said that there had not been others before them? They were not alone, and many of them have not been successful. [ as for the other, she'll offer an explanation to him gentle as ever. ] You thought of the doll as part of your family. A doll that might have ended up in the hands of Elle.

[chromatized]

[ which is how Jude ended up in all this. Fran had told him, but he still hadn't wanted it confirmed ]

... In other words, thoughts and feelings get folded into it too? So if I had been thinking the doll was unsettling and I wanted it out of sight, you would have put it away in an actual box.

[ or jail. doll jail. ]

I don't really get it but... is that why your power keeps showing up all over the place where we are? Because you pulled it all together, and we keep wanting to see who's behind it...?

[ that doesn't. feel right, instinctively, but he'll take elimination of information too ]

[maladied]

Yes, it wouldn't be fulfilling the wish if I did not grant it in full. [ sentiments and all. ...even if it's probably becoming clear that she doesn't understand what it means. ] The place you're currently existing in is made up of places that either have been desired by those who are there or will help in finding the cure that so many people have wished for. Some areas are closer to me than others.

[chromatized]

[ wow that's so great, fantastic ]

... Is the side where Yuki and the others are trapped closer to you?

[maladied]

[ it'll take a moment for her to respond but when she does, she'll have a smile a touch wider than before. ] It sounds like you're asking for a confirmation. Yes, that is the place closest to me.

[chromatized]

[ that's. Super. ]

.......... Are you also the one behind the power that pulled them there?

[maladied]

[ she'll keep that same smile as she answers him. positively warm, but only in appearance. ] There was no "power" involved, but yes. That was still me.

[chromatized]

[ Muzet could be scary, but at least she had some actual Life behind her eyes. ]

Will you tell us why they were all taken?

[maladied]

I can. [ which is not the an answer to his question. ]

[chromatized]

[ ............ hm........... ]

... If I wished for my arm to be restored to the point it could heal normally, what would happen?

[ he gets the feeling he might want to Top Off His HP for some reason. or at least get some muscles reconnected. ]

[maladied]

I could do that without issue. I had asked earlier but you wanted to speak to me first. [ so, you know. it has always been on the table. ]

[chromatized]

... Then would you please restore my arm just enough so it can heal normally the rest of the way?

[ he's doing his best to ask for bare minimum here, if there's a surprise tax on the end, he wants to keep it to a minimum. and it'll be useful to have a better sample size than Childermass's eye and the king's new wardrobe. ]

[maladied]

Of course. [ and just like his arm will be restored up to the point where it'd heal naturally (and with minimal scarring) just moments after she agreed to it. ]

[chromatized]

[ it'll just be like idk a business week before it's all good it's fine. ]

... Did you grant the wish to save- Lynne?

[maladied]

[ yeah!! and ludger's going to hate the way she'll smile at him. with a sliver of teeth. ] I did.

[chromatized]

[ he'll smile back!!! pure customer service smile for a guy who never actually had to work customer service. ]

I see.

[ he's got a couple other questions, but he has a feeling they'll go the same way as his "why are you taking the others?" question so for now he falls silent. ]
