I think this must just be because I have a more... naturally submissive personality compared to you (or anyone,) but I went through this entire update like "oh my God he's been gone too long, oh thank God he's finally getting back, oh wait NO NO THE WAND DON'T FORGET THE WAND!!" whereas you were freely gallivanting around with a sense of boldness that's almost downright foreign to me and... well, forgetting about the wand.

I think I made for a better slave in this game than you did and I'm, er, not quite sure how to feel about that. But it would explain why I never made it more than about three minutes in, since progressing appears to involve more resistance than I would have dared.
