"Stigmata are self-inflicted wounds. It was discovered when a religious man woke up one day with the marks on Jesus. Round bleeding holes in his hands where he had been nailed to the cross. Of course, he was not, as he claimed, the reincarnation of Jesus. However, he had believed so strongly that he was that his body had obliged him, and broken down it's own cells." Bob sits back, and holds up his palms, and a round hole opens up in it. "That is the power of belief. One belief, was able to do that. Now imagine if everyone's dreams, your nightmares, your hopes, your creativity, your pain. Imagine if that all were to become sentient." Bob leans in close, and for a moment, you can see who he truly is. This form is but a sham, an appearance created in the world. You see a thousand fragmented dreams, in a single gem-like form, crystallized. "I am, quite literally, the power of the human imagination manifest."
