[He's going to have to explain things for context. Ugh...]

Helen is the Distortion, an avatar for the Spiral.
She became the Distortion a little while after I became the Archivist.
Maybe if I'd been nicer to her?
I don't know.
Helen decided to stop caring about the people she hurt to feed.
She did speak with my staff.
And me.
She's actually sort of an ally?
I mean, she wants to kill me.
Probably.
But she'll wait for the right moment for it.
And I knew Helen Richardson before she was Helen.
She was one of my earliest Statements.

It gets complicated with avatars.
Most of us started out as people.
It's just a matter of not forgetting what we were.
But it's always a choice to become this.
A lot of people who choose it want it.
So, I suppose it's easier for them to give up what they were before.
