<h1>Summary of Receipt</h1>
<span style="font-size: 20px">422 elaborates on the Six Seals. ‘Measurements’ of how close the world is to an Apocalypse, they’re considered corruptions of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Wood and Metal. Though really, they’re just six catastrophic events. Alternatively, you could think of them as corruptions of the six states of blood (red, black, white, yellow, crimson, and ruby, whatever the last four are), or just a six-sided die - the more seals that break, the likelier it is that the die lands on a side in which the Devil can escape. Anyway, the three seals already passed are: The opening of the End’s Antechamber, a corruption of Metal; the opening of the Achegloom by the Morbid King, a corruption of Air; and the opening of Eden, a corruption of Earth. Now, Bartholomew’s chopping down the Cimmerian Woods - and that could very well be the corruption of Wood. Now, every cycle has its own set of Seals, but almost all usually have maybe only one seal broken, with more than two being incredibly rare. The CaD’s looking at their fourth.</span>

Wow, just throwing out the six seals in a Cafe Receipt? Then again, I can't say I blame Jericho for being fed up with this game of cosmic keep away. The Six Seals are, well, I'd say they are an arbitrary metric for measuring the end times. Sure, they represent the corruption of fire, water, wind, earth, metal, and wood at an esoteric level. But… that's not really helpful in a practical sense, is it? To me, the seals are just six big uh-ohs. Every Sphere gets six big uh-ohs before the likelihood of The Devil getting set free becomes 100%.

Uh-oh number one: the opening of the chamber at the End. A corruption of metal.

Uh-oh number two: the opening of the Achegloom by the Morbid King. A corruption of wind.

Uh-oh number three: the opening of Eden by Dover and Victoria. A corruption of earth.

Now you've got a demonic lumberman built like a tank chopping down the ancient Cimmerian Woods in the Amaymon… it kind of screams a corruption of wood, doesn't it? I know, I know, but how do you know what a corruption of what is? "It doesn't matter" is the easiest answer I can give. You could also say it's six states of blood being corrupted, red, black, white, yellow, crimson, and ruby. Or any group of six things. Hell, you could just think of it as a die. And each time a face is corrupted, the likelihood of rolling "absolute destruction" gets closer to always being what happens.

It's also worth noting that these are just the three uh-ohs from this current cycle. Every cycle has its own six uh-ohs. Though I'd say, about 98% of them have between zero and one. It's very rare to have more than two…, and we're fast approaching our fourth. If the odds seem stacked against us, thank Fate. The thing about seals is once they are broken, they can't be, well, unbroken. So, the best we can do right now is stop the next one from breaking, which seems to involve collecting all thirteen Abraxas stones to contain Bart Langley. Of course, putting all thirteen Abraxas stones in one place is also bad. Though I'll stop here. I wouldn't want to give anyone any ideas.</span>
