AND RECEIPT
RECEIPT NUMBER: OCTO01
RECEIPT DATE: 12 24 1988
MANGER NUMBER: 646
RECEIPT NOTES:
Just in case I fail again, I want to remember this moment. Hold it with me for as long as I can. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Willing or not.

S.O.T.

8: Jean, how's it going, man?

646: What do you plan to do with it, Jack?

8: With what?

646: Your mantle. What if it fell into the wrong hands?

8: Who decides whose hands are wrong or right? Maybe they're already in the wrong hands.

646: Why do you say that? What are you planning to do with it?

8: A very persistent question, Jean. What do you think I would do with them?

646: I- I don't actually know.

8: Neither do I. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, Jean. Heavier still is the head who didn't choose to wear it, ya' dig?

646: So then, you would do nothing with them?

8: Why not? They've been doing nothing for this long. Might as well let them do nothing a bit longer.

646: But its existence alone is a threat. A danger. You might not do anything with it, but others will. What if someone took it from you?

8: A valid concern. Though the genie is already out of the bottle. Can't exactly shove it back in now. Try as I might.

646: What will happen when you die. Can you even die?

8: Yet to be proven. Not that I'm all too eager yet to find out, haha. I think they would return to where they came from. Wherever that is.

646: And what if it did... but then it found its way to someone new. Someone with bad intentions? Someone who would want to use it to hurt people?

8: Another valid concern. I suppose, with this role I've been given, inaction alone can't solve everything. So what would you propose?

646: Me? I don't know.

8: You don't know? Huh. Seems like you do know. If they fell in your lap right now, what would you do with them?

646: That's... surprisingly hard to say. I think I would try and keep them safe. As best as I could.

8: Interesting. You wouldn't want to use them, though?

646: Of course, I'd want to use them. Who wouldn't? But I couldn't know that I would use them correctly. I don't know if anyone could know that.

8: Me either. It's fun, you know, to fall asleep thinking tomorrow will be the day I get it all figured out. It'll come to me in some glorious epiphany. God will speak to me in honeyed words and tell me exactly what I need to do. Then tomorrow comes, and I still don't have a damn clue what to do. Not even an inkling, man.

646: Would you use it if your life was in danger?

8: Not even in our darkest hours would I use them. Like you said, you can't know if you're doing it right or wrong. Good or bad. They just are. And I just am. I've got a lifetime to sort it out, though. Maybe when I'm a bit older and a bit wiser, I'll know what to do with them. Maybe the friendly face of fate will finally show itself and clue me in on what the real big picture is. Maybe you're right. Maybe I can't die anymore. Then I've got an eternity left to figure it out.

646: You're right, Jack. No need to worry about it tonight. I was just curious.

8: I get it, man. It's heavy stuff to ponder. A single digit can cause so many headaches. Wild. Anyway, it's getting late, and I'd hate to keep the fat man waiting. I'll see you in the morning.

646: Yeah. Of course. See you in the morning, Jack. Merry Christmas.

8: Merry Christmas, man.

E.O.T.
