[ Adam hums as he thinks about dreams again. He wonders if Elizabeth had any weird dreams. How could you not, when there's something in your head? ]
Like things coming out of my eyes, my eyes going in different directions, my hands moving on their own, appliances near me breaking. [ If he were reasonable, he might have told someone about it. He thinks for a long moment about the next question. ] Sort of. Guess I never told you all of it.
I sacrificed myself to Cabeswater—the forest. I had to. There was a ritual going to take control of it, and I stopped the people who were doing it... but I had to sacrifice something. The most important thing to me. Free will. I gave it my hands and eyes, specifically. I know it sounds stupid to ignore all that stuff happening to me, but it wasn't so different from what happened when Cabeswater was weak. I would hallucinate and the electricity would short-circuit because I didn't know what it wanted. One time, I... totally lost time. One minute I was with Gansey in DC, the next thing I know I was walking along the highway back to Virginia. I'd been walking for hours. So something was wrong with Cabeswater, obviously, but... [ He's trying to justify himself when he realizes he doesn't have to. He shrugs. ]
Anyway, the demon infiltrated Cabeswater, so it got access to my hands and eyes. I was just easy for it.
