I literally said that's how these stories work? Stories? Stories, like, we're in one now, apparently, I...guess?

Okay, other ways to break curses involve kissing frogs, true love's kiss, saying someone's name, burning things, sometimes there's sacrifice involved, but I'd much prefer this being the 'just kill the thing to break the curse' type.

Cuz I'm not kissing a frog. Or a squid.
