Grandpappy's Blessing /s "Get up, Sonny!"
Every time Sycamore gets hurt, when they would feel pain or strife, they instead hear a surge in the voices that follow them as their responsibility creeps closer and they tune into what they're meant to be. They cringe and try to smile it off, but they honestly have no idea why they can't feel their injuries, and it's terrifying.
Grandpappy Van Brunt figures Syc's getting up on their way, finally, and has decided to give them a helping hand in their line of work. Even if it's not what he expected, he'll try to accommodate for the ingrate.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your Stress from Injuries is reduced to 0. Does not reduce Stress from Mind Damage.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
