Hello, Hans.

Tell us, do you enjoy stories?

Ah, of course. You were expecting someone else. A familiar voice, perhaps.

Do not worry. Consider us allies of convenience--after all, you are in the right place at the right time. For now.

So, stories. Tragedy. Drama. Loss.

You believe these things to be merely transient feelings, emotions that flit from life to life.

But for us, Hans, who exist between the boundaries of the enfleshed and the immaterial, stories are...our existence.

Our reason for life. Without stories, 'we' would cease to exist.

So as we draw back the curtain in this tale of bloody woe, consider: whose story are you in? And who-or what-pulls _your_ strings?

Enjoy the show. 'We' certainly will.
