"'s'not how that worked. I was... i-it was Stranger, but. Eye, too. Had to make sure you... you saw what it was, to fear it right."

Ritual was never gonna work, was it Gertrude, you... y'need to Know t'know...what you're looking at is wrong."
His hand lifts, muscles trembling, and rests on Jacobi's. "You couldn't hurt me, not. Not like that. Told you 'cos I wanted to."
