Summary of Receipt
The Owner reveals a lot of lore musing to himself. Basically he’s from the 15th Sphere, the previous ‘incarnation’ of the universe. He addresses Nicolas Langley and states that Nick, Jenni and Nikki (probably the three kids mentioned above) are super important, but showed up a year early - last time, it was in 1996. The Owner wonders if this means they can defeat Satan earlier. Also, the Owner mentions he has been cursed by the Blight and has 4-5 years left to live. In the 15th Sphere, Bird (basically-god who created the universes) dealt with it, but that’s no longer an option since he became mortal. He also prepares for the ‘ascension of the mantle (of 8)’ and strives to keep the 3 kids together and part of the CaD. It seems he’ll tell them the truth just before he dies, and give them the goal of leading the CaD. Lastly, he ponders on whether or not he can leave for the Morningstar and chill there after Satan’s dealt with.

THE OWNER
Finally, finally, finally. Do you know how hard it was to not just embrace Nick the second he walked in? My dear friend, Nick. If only you could know. Interestingly enough, we are… well, a year or so ahead of schedule. The three of them weren’t supposed to enter the picture until 1996. In the grand scheme of things, a year is nothing, although I do wonder if this means we can “defeat” Satan ahead of schedule too? It could be nice to have a few extra years before, well, I take my leave.
There is nothing I want more right now than to sit down with the three of them and catch them up on all the adventures we once shared a universe ago. But… For now, I must remain a stranger. Besides, with the sword of Damocles looming over my head, it’s probably better for them not to get too attached. Of course, I will do what I can to set them on a less tragic path than the one they endured before. Still, I cannot control fate.
Speaking of, another secret I am tired of holding onto is this blasted “blight” that affects me. It troubles me to see Felix so worried for my health when I know that I still have five years to go. Or is it four now? I wish he would take it easy, but I know that he can’t. And for a good reason, I suppose. And mon amour, ah how I wish I could see her right now. But history is history, I’m afraid. If only she knew. Perhaps… if we are able to handle Satan early, I can find some way to sneak off to the Morningstar to spend my last few years with her.
I am unsure what will become of me once the blight takes full control. I never had the chance to find out last time around, seeing as the Bird decided to step in and change things. With him out of the picture… I suppose it is time to see what this “debt” has in store for me and my cursed number. With Jenni now here, I can start making plans for the ascension of the mantle as well. I still have time to mull it over, but I think I will tell the three of them everything before my time comes. It might be the only way to keep them together instead of drifting so far apart. Plus, someone needs to carry out my grand plan, and I can’t have mon amour leading them down a dead end.
In any case, should you be reading this report, Nick, Jenni, and Nikki... It is so good to see you three again.
With love,
Jean
