Back at the tent, Vic is making some repairs to his weapon and Hisoki is counting out berries and taking some inventory, he drank a potion to heal his wounds on his hand and even replaced the destroyed glove. Vic clicks the cylinder and gives it a spin. “Alright, we’re good,” he says holstering it. “Are you ready?”

“I think so. Vic… I just wanted to say something.”

“What?”

Hisoki pulls the paper from his hat that Vic gave him much earlier in the challenge. “I opened it when I woke up, and I instantly realized it wasn’t a dream.” He opens it and reveals the word “Clown”. “You made me laugh, then I discovered an important little fact about the curse. I can’t laugh in my dreams. It’s the one thing I can’t do in them. I guess I knew subconsciously. Still, thank you, Vic.”
