[There's a little girl standing outside the castle in skirt and red hoodie, looking around frantically. Maybe this wouldn't be too strange if she wasn't thoroughly caked with blood, front and back.]

--Lee? Lee!

[She's about ready to bolt, but her feet seem glued to the spot. It looks like she's not sure what to start towards--the giant castle, the city in the distance, or whatever trees are around?]

O-oh. I think I understand.

[nihilo]

Yours isn't, hypothetical. It's certainly there.

[willrememberthat]

I don't have to pay for it, do I? I don't have any money.

[nihilo]

Nothing's free. [ Alice peers at the girl. ]

It's all paid for, however.

[willrememberthat]

Who paid for it?

[nihilo]

You did. Money isn't the only thing you pay with.

[willrememberthat]

What did I pay for it with? I don't--I don't have anything.

[nihilo]

No. You have your life, for one, and many other things attached to you.

[willrememberthat]

W-what? My life?! I'm not paying for anything with my life! Or--my arms or legs!

[nihilo]

You obviously didn't if you still have them.
