The nightmares. I've taken so many more Statements here than I have at home, Ava. There are so many more nightmares. So many more people I'm hurting. I thought if I couldn't sleep, they'd be safe. At least from the nightmares I cause.
I've been thinking about it ever since we had those shared dreams. And then I ran into that witch, Nick Scratch, and he wanted me to tell Martin to sign a contract with him. Because he can protect him and I can't. It just sort of got to me, I guess. It was stupid, I know. I wanted to prove I could protect people. If I could protect them from myself, maybe I could protect him, too? I don't know. It made more sense at the time.
