I ran away once, when I was a kid. He didn't have to lift a finger for me to come crawling back, since I couldn't survive on the streets on my own. Pretty effective lesson.
Except for the part where he monitored my every move and no law enforcement would ever prosecute him, no matter what he did. [... like kidnap the people close to him.] I wasn't exaggerating back then, when I said I had nowhere to run from him.
... Well, it's a long story, but I wasn't going to go back to my world. He's just chasing after a ghost through me, so... it's better for both of us to cut our ties, really.
[he lets out a quiet scoff.]
Though if we don't win here, then I guess it really doesn't matter anymore.

I won't press on what happened, but should I be concerned if I see you near the lake?

Was something up with him then? He was, uh, kind of quiet.
