[She looks appreciative at the touch, then gives those questions some thought...]
The only other entity we're aware of that's involved in all of this is the Nightman... who would probably only meddle if it was "entertaining" in some way...
... Whether it's the Nightman or someone else here, we don't know their agenda. That's another reason why we should be cautious going forward with this.

You don't have to thank me for that. This helped me out, too.
