On the bright side, my mother came back from the dead here.
[Has any kid's face ever shined brighter saying that? Then again, how many kids get to say that without it being an aspect of a horror story?]
Don't get me wrong. A lot of sad things happened in my life back home. This is the least of them. [He gestures to his eye.] But wonderful things happened back home, too. AMAZING things. Things I never could have wished for and expected those wishes to come true . . . but they did. And somehow that's still happening here. Terrible things will still happen, too, but nothing will ever take the times that we were all happy away.
[There were sob stories and impossible-to-win cases. They had to be endured, but every once in a while, a case of a child not wanting to go back home was not a case of home being awful - but of here being wonderful beyond imagining.
Even with a multi-universal horror that wanted to destroy everything, and might succeed at it.]
I think you feel a lot worse for me than you need to, Doctor.
What kind of magic did you have, and what kind did you keep here? The magic I have back home is a little weaker here, but I still have it. My mother was very powerful back home, too, but here she only kept a few really useful ones.
