[She's a little surprised at how quickly a return letter arrives. The response shouldn't be a surprise but it's still disappointing.
At first, she doesn't see any reason to respond. He's analyzed the potion and that's that. But that night when she feels restless and can't sleep, she finds herself writing an unsolicited response.]
I had some hope. A very small hope.
Do people here want a cure? I am meaning the people who live here not mirror travelers. They are already monsters at birth, are they not? Our changes are different. They are having fear of the infection.
What are you meaning by 'snake oil'? That merchant was selling potions for all kinds of monsters. Or for witches as well.
Even if it was not the potion I was wanting, you have my thanks for looking at it. You were saying nothing in your letter about a payment. A trade. You are not wanting anything in return?
Do you desire a cure for your humanity? This is not a blight to Monsters; this is but their existence.
Snake oil. Panacea. Miracle cure. Always peddled as a mundane, mystic solution that no one has ever heard of, but will instantly solve one's problems. And always nothing but a merchant's lies.
And, last but far from least: there is nothing you have that I want. Your debt will due, for now.

Really sorry for vanishing
