[After recovering from her droning, Theta sits down and pens a letter to Santa. She drops it in the box casually, as if this is a perfectly normal thing to do.]
Dear Santa:
This year I have been a good boy. I have not drunk to excess more than seven times in the past year, and I have been working hard to cut down on picking unnecessary fights. I will work hard to be a good boy next year, too.
Please, if I may, this is my list, ordered in order of preference:
To be released from Mayfield into the world and time of my darling Albedo, along with him, and our memories.
For my Darling and I to be impervious to droning while we are here.
To know all of the secrets of this town.
For all of my workshop machines and tools.
For a large or unlimited supply of clockwork parts, wood, and malleable metal, preferably elasticated brass.
What an industrious little girl you are! If you want materials to work with so badly, then materials you shall have. And answers, as well! Use responsibly!
Merry Christmas,
Santa
Upon reading her letter, Theta has been transformed into a steam-powered clockwork version of herself. She is incapable of speech, instead incapable of producing anything but beeps. Her mind has been filled with various "secrets" of Mayfield that she will perceive to be true, including:
-The police station has a secret room that contains nothing but a vast pile of cheddar cheese... -The key to escaping Mayfield lies in collecting people's teeth; once enough teeth are collected, one can go home... -The Mayor and Grady are madly, passionately in love...

And other such various nonsense.
