"Gerald is the one who put the truth spell on Jayden," Ceridwen added. "He was trying to help. He said that Jayden always looked sad, like there were things he wanted to say, but never did."
"Well...I really don't like the way he did it, but he's not wrong," Jesse said after a few moments.
"It'll be gone by the next sundown," Gerald informed them. "I'm not what I used to be, you know, some things take more out of me than they used to."
