The next day Isaac was brought to the same room as before, with Linda following behind him and his “escort”, with “7” in the same place he was before, hood still damaged from their previous skirmish.

“7” in a very regal voice said,

“So Isaac, you have returned. I hear you wish to tell me something.”

Isaac said in a quiet tone he never knew he had and said,

“Yes. Oh sir, you mentioned freedom from my curse in exchange for a task. If you still do not feel hatred for me, then I am…willing to accept it…”

“7” stood still, thinking on this. He then replied in a very noble manner,

“Isaac, I am willing to make you whole, but my services do not come without sacrifice. Are you really willing to do anything to be normal? The consequences are worse than death if you fail “

Isaac thought for a moment, it was a hard question, anything could condemn him worse than death,but he only had one shot, one chance.

“Yes, sir.”

In a tone that made one think of smiles, 7 said,

“Well then, hear me out Isaac.”
