Editing Summary:The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

Ryan apologizes for taking it too far and gives John a hard time for not knowing what he enjoys. It seems as if John is trying to figure out what he likes and what he's good at, as he has been keeping a list of things he likes in a notebook. Ryan is going to do the harder part of their plan to get to Ulric, while John gets to run straight into the trap. Ryan gives John some marshmallows, and John thinks about how they would go camping with Ryan's dad. John talks about how he was kicked out of the academy and lets Ryan know that he didn't quit. Ryan tries to tell John to take responsibility for his downfalls, but John has had unfortunate circumstances. John says that when Jen left is when he really knew he was hopeless. John believes that he killed Jen, and that he drove her away. Ryan tells John that he doesn't blame him for what happened to Jen. Both men loved the same woman, but overall Jen chose John. Ryan refers to them defeating Ulric as John's escape from the avalanche of his life.

John tells the groups he's been traveling with that in his world they use lightning for light, and then he draws a room with light, a microwave, a fridge, a skyscraper, and Seattle's skyline with the space needle. They figure out from these pictures that there are hundreds of other people like John living in his world. They refer to this as peaceful because so many people are living together but aren't fighting. John thinks about how this dimension is cruel and harsh. He considers how bad it is without medicine. John wants to bring his new friends technology so they can live better lives. His new friends are confused why he left the other world to come live in their world to help save them from the bad people hunting them. Ealston names his ax Rowena after his wife, because he likes his wife and he likes his ax. John recognizes that his relationship with Jen was always tense, and they fought a lot. He knows that Ryan would've been the better man for Jen. His relationship that's growing with Sefawynn is a much calmer friendship. Ulric took away John's powers. Ealston lets John know to not be ashamed of his joy. Sefawynn and John are very close together, and yet John knows he should leave because he believes he's destroying their world.
