It felt like the moment Ebling left my building, Joe, Sammy, and Rosa arrived. I am so glad that I realized Ebling's evil scheme and now he will be ultimately destroyed as of midnight tonight.  I hear knocking at my door and  jolt of energy traveled through my veins as I walked through my apartment to let them in.  As I opened my door, three anxious and unsure faces looked me over. They all had a different look on their face. Joe looked at me anxiously, almost as if he was about to spit out his wish right that second. Rosa stood beside Joe, holding his hand and looked content with that alone. It is obvious that she realizes that she has already found a new heart.  Sammy had his chin held high and was obviously extremely confident, almost like a business man.  What a change from the man he used to be!  I wonder what they think of me what to think of me, this strange man who mysteriously led them to his apartment with the bribe of a wish... 

"Hello sir! My name is Joseph Kavalier and these are my friends Sammy and Rosa!", boasted Joe. He has obviously been waiting a long time for this moment, long before he found the key that I planted. I told them I knew who they were and that I have been watching over them on their journey. I then walked over to the mirror and explained the mechanism to them. "Uh, hang on.  I'm not quite sure I understand", said Sammy, "So you've been watching us this whole time and you can watch the whole city whenever you want? Who are you, God or something? What's your name?".  I laughed to myself quietly and tried to figure out how to put what I would say next into the right words. "No, Sammy. You see, I'm not like that. I'm a hidden hero, of sorts. I go behind the scenes to help people out. I typically do not reveal my face or motives. My name...well...I'm...The Escapist."
