I can’t pay with money, but I can pay with favors. I am quite adept at hunting down Leitners, if that interests you

Sorry, I dunno if you're even still alive. I've been on my own 'hunt' so to speak. Do you still need to get into the Archives? I can get you in mostly unseen. As long as nobody has to get hurt, the only suspicion that'd be raised is probably Elias's. But, I can distract him if needed. He's not particularly keen on me anyway.

The Spiral is a... pain in the ass, putting it lightly. I don't like it. Sure, other Fears change you physically and mentally and contort you into something ungodly, a shell of what you used to be if you're lucky. But when the Twisting Deceit does it, it's somehow worse. You're slowly going mad, the changes are much more gradual. You don't realize you were right to worry until it's too late. It's the best kind of psychological horror, and it's awful. The Spiral maims you without ever shedding a drop of blood.

She asked for help. She wanted someone to hear her, and my ass was AWOL getting that stupid... [He sighs.] I hope she's ok. Or, I guess it now. I shouldn't have left, but it's not like I had a choice.
