I pressed the button on my box last week.

I did it with full confidence, despite knowing that I would hurt someone- for all I know, I could have even killed someone. I- I can't I can't say I don't regret it, now that I've received nothing except guilt, but... you have to realize that I had to do it. I have to go home to Victoria. Don't all of you understand? I can't remain here and spend unnecessary hours waiting, not when I've got less than a week left. Less than a weak to determine the rest of my life.

The right thing to do- the way I can make up for it all, would be to give away my mushroom. Remember that incident with the bear? I still have it on me-- that magical mushroom which can restore a single life. And to consider how many people have died even this month...

But I won't be giving it to anyone. I need to save it for Yvaine or myself because how could I deliver a star to Victoria if the star dies? It's not so unlikely at this point- I suppose living forever's enough to make some people do just about anything, but all I want is Victoria.

If I can't win Victoria's hand in marriage, then what else do I have? The humdrum of mediocrity day in and day out?

I'm just a shopboy, you know. You can't expect so much out of me.

Well, there you are. Almost thought you went off and got your heart cut out.

What else was I supposed to think, Yvaine?

You don't need to return any sooner than anyone else, besides. Time stops.

However, the sooner we return home, the sooner we'll reach Wall. And the sooner we reach Wall, the sooner we reach Victoria.

You know that simply by having that mushroom you make yourself a target.

No one has attacked me yet, have they? And I've had it for how long already?

Who are you talking to---this, 'expecting so much'...?

I thought you wanted to prove yourself to your Victoria.

I am proving myself to her, by bringing you to her.
