Obviously the whole Wayward thing hasn't been explained to you properly. You don't have any superpowers.

Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then. Everything always brought me back to you. Everything.

I don’t think Kitchen makes this. What’s it called again? Jell-O Surprise. Link grinned. What’s the surprise? Ridley examined the red gelatin more closely. What they put in it.

I'd never really thought past the whole dying-for-the-sake-of-the-world part of things. When you're alive, you don't dwell on how you're going to spend your time once you're dead. You just figure you're gone, and the rest will pretty much take care of itself.
