No? [ He seems vaguely surprised but not that much. ] Sorry for making the assumption then.

Are you looking?

[turbulency]

... I wasn't.

But I'm reconsidering. Since the wish isn't dependent on surviving this whole thing, there is something I want that's worth the risk.

Some people have made a counterpoint that if you don't live to see it, you'll never be able to affirm that it came true after all.

[turbulency]

That's true. [ shrugs ] There's no guarantee it'll come true either way.

It seems kind of silly to believe in a wish, after all. This isn't a fairy tale.

[ ... ]

But if someone really believes in it, it's hard to discourage them too.

[recession]

And I don't control anyone either, so... it's really everyone else's prerogative if they want to pursue this sort of thing. At least it's not like in the case of the swamp's curios, where murder is a requisite to get what you want.

[ You just have to risk dying. And for some people, that's worth the gamble? ]

[turbulency]

I trust the swamp even less.

[ prejudiced ]

It does seem a bit too on-the-nose with their specificity, doesn't it.
