RECEIPT #003

EMPLOYEE #71
Well, I've done what I can—within our current means. For what it is worth, I did reach out to my former employer, the Miracle Worker. We are… working on repairing our relationship. It is difficult, isn't it? When you promise your entire life and loyalty to someone and then… well, you leave, it creates some friction. Naturally, he knows a full remedy, but it is among the secrets he would prefer to keep secret. However, he did clue me in on how to distill the Squonk's special serum into a more potent panacea. While it can't cure young #1313's condition completely, it has left her bloodshot eye stable.
While it is hard to say what effects of the Redman's bloodshot still linger, Shaka seemed to believe this would at least sever his ability to summon her to him at any moment. Moreover, he was under the impression that #1313 should have no noticeable symptoms of the Redman's bloodshot, assuming the Redman isn't within a few feet of her. However, should the Redman be in her vicinity, he would still be able to telepathically manipulate her via her eye and likely regain most of his control over her. Thus, the most potent cure would seem to be keeping her distance from the Redman as much as possible, yes?
What the Squonk serum cannot remedy, however, is her new iris color. It seems that her iris being tinted blood-red was a physiological change and was not being upheld through magical means. For that, I can recommend an eyepatch or a colored contact lens, though I believe #1313 has taken to simply styling her hair differently. Well, it will serve as a stark reminder to young #1313 of the prices one pays when playing with demons, no? She should count herself lucky—most tend to end up dead... or worse. A red eye and proximity-based weakness are scrapes and bruises, all things considered when dancing with demons.
