Panel 1
Helianghast:

You, there. Boy with the broken Placidus. Do you care to make a pact?

Mate:

I--
No, I need more time. Please just let us have some time.

Helianghast:

Time? Do you not care to continue living? If you fail to make a pact before this session is over, you will be voided and null both here and in the waking world.

Mate:

I just need some time!

Helianghast:

Certainly. What will you give me in return?

Mate:

Eh?? So You'll only give me either more time or citizenship here?

Helianghast:

No, I would like to propose a dual pact.

Panel 2
Mate:

Shit!
Agh! OK, sure, whatever, just give us a minute!

Helianghast:

It is agreed, then. I will return in one minute to collect the first, and you will provide a second boon at a later time.

Mate:

Wait, that's not what I--
ARGH, SHIT.
Fine!
