[Jon's quiet for a moment as he gathers his thoughts.]
I told you about the Statements, becoming dependent on them. They were a way to feed the Watcher. In turn, it fed me. It wasn't... all at once, I suppose. Little steps, slips here and there. Growing abilities. But at the Unknowing, I- I died. More or less. My body was too broken. Everything was dead except for my brain. The doctors couldn't explain it, so they just left me in a bed and called it a coma.
With what happened, I came to the precipice. Too human to live, too changed to just die. I had to pick a side. While I was in the coma, the Eye and another power, the End, were fighting over me. The Watcher kept me wandering the dreams on a loop until I made my choice. I chose to live. I thought- [He bites his lip and frowns.]
I'd like to say I was hoping I could use these powers to do something good. Honestly? I was... scared. I didn't want to die.
