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.

Self Reflection
If I could've just done things differently...
Jacob clutches his rosary, whispers a small prayer, and focuses on what decisions he made that brought him to this point. Shattered memories of alternate branches, alternate versions of him, come to mind. The multiverse is vast, and his branching decisions are many. Once he picks a path, his form shifts. Ghostly forms of these presents that never came to fruition manifest into a near corporeal form in front of him. These forms then get brutally maimed, crushed, and moulded into a small orb. It shines like a pearl, with a gleam of potential. Jacob swallows it and his body warps and alters to fit that form.
A blessing has been granted. Your thoughts, ideas, and maybe even regrets of them can be mixed into the fold, twisting and writhing within the orb. Rejoice! You can become others as well! What a wonderful gift for someone who loathes themselves to such a degree.
You let him die, Jacob.
