I don't know. I don't know! We were supposed to be Fixing things, but all I have done is get mugged and die and kill Tandy and make deals with liches, and we sent someone to the Dreamlands who might never have been able to come back without Wren.

—And set fire to a circus! All the worst people have us on retainer, and they don't care, they don't weigh what it means to contract with the Faceless, they don't worry about sending Hester to the Dreamlands or giving the RIPD to Tascheron for an "interview". They don't even care about going to Dylath-Leen over and over and having to kill ourselves to get back or else have Wren suffer for us. I can't do this on my own. So I do what they are alright with doing, and it's... this.
...They didn't even choose to be here. They were just chosen to be here.
