If that's the name for that kind of magic. I can't imagine that he would accept anything that wouldn't restrict him without giving him an advantage.

[ it's been made clear to him that magic follows the rules of equivalent exchange, more or less, in order to receive something, something must be exchanged. ]

But I wonder as well. [ what have they all lost before they've become aware of their current situation? ...and how much could be regained. ] If he has lost some of his memories due to the loops as the rest of us, it could explain why he had been so unnerved earlier in the week.

[ for better or for worse. ]
