"It can't hurt," Strange admits. Because it can't. As far as he's concerned, the more information about whatever this weird magic is, the better. Maybe then he'll be able to figure out how best to cure it.

Because of course he's going to cure it. This problem is magical, it might as well be him who fixes it. Still, he's able to spot Rita's nervousness and gives her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. No matter how you split, I think both halves of Rita Mordio would be interested in a magical mystery."

He hopes. He reeeeally hopes.
