Because I was possessed an' went against the fucker's contract. It pissed him off, so he took me into the spirit realm. Other people kicked its ass and got me out.
—isn't that risky, going against the contract like that? For yourself and for others? [That poor girl in white. That'll haunt her nightmares for a long time.]
Yeah, it is. [He's not going to pretend it's not.] I got real lucky that the bastard just wanted to beat up a teenager an' grabbed me instead of doin' what Blade's doing. But it was gonna kill me anyway, so what did I have to lose?
Very lucky. I'm very glad it didn't kill you, and that you fared, on the whole, better than Blade and those two poor students.
[A breath.]
I just...If it was holding something worse back. If breaking the deal meant, even if you were rescued, a nightmare that you could not awaken from. Would you have risked it, anyway?
[Ash makes a noise that means "sorry, that sucks". Because yeah. Yeah that sucks.]
I still am. But yeah, that's how I know how this is gonna go. Either we beat the shit outta that demon, or Blade dies. And I ain't about to let Blade die.

Not sure I'm the best person to answer that one.
[He doesn't know this woman, and anyway how do you explain the whole Krusnik thing to someone who wasn't involved?]
But probably. I was a kid when that fucker moved in.

[Another pause.]
I'm sorry. It must've been rough, readjusting afterward.
