[ Nate doesn't look at him. He looks away, towards the window, though he's not really seeing it. ]

The...demon, who got Nick, and made him open a portal to hell?

He found me, wanted me to do it. I said no, we fought. Took me by surprise, because I knew him, but he was a lot stronger that day. I wasn't prepared. It was like being hit by a truck.

[ He takes a breath, and it shakes a little. ]

The necklace kept me alive by a hair, but I got hit hard. I was in a coma for a week. Took a healing potion when I woke up, looked fine.

It's not fine. Ever since that first time, I feel like Death's right there. Right over my shoulder, waiting for the next chance. It's fucking terrifying. And my dreams came back.

[ He chews his lip. ]

But I know how to handle them now.
