              : Went in for a fresh seedloaf once, only to find her sitting on a stool with her head in her hands. I asked her if she was all right.

                    : As glad as I am to be free, Avernus is in me still. Less of a garden and more of a... I don't know, a pit. But when I try to look inside, I can't feel anything.

                        : True enough. Don't know why I'm rushing things, except the risk of imminent mind flayerisation. But hey, we've got a cure in the works, right? Right.
