Curses. Wallie doesn't get curses, doesn't like the whole idea. It goes against how he knows the world works, but a lot here does that. Vampires and things. Fairy tales, not... real life. He can adapt, though. He's already had to adapt to gods and alternate realities.

But he thinks briefly of disassociate disorders, and then dismisses that, because he doesn't know anything about psychology.

"Your grandmother had a similar problem? Sorry, I'm not used to talk of curses meaning anything. Do curses run in families?"
