Trivia
If option 1 is chosen, the following is added into the hero's history:
History They journeyed into the depths of their own body and destroyed the parasitic entity that was chewing around in there... or. I mean, or it was all a weird encounter with some imagination-bending monster, a manifestation of fantasy that became indistinguishable from reality? But, uhh... I guess that doesn't super matter? Anyway, <Hero> won. And that was good.
If option 2 is chosen, the following is added into the hero's history:
History They journeyed into the depths of their own body, and encountered there a parasitic being. But, being <Hero>, they> decided that a parasite might make a close and precious friend. Turns out it does! For the rest of their life, they would talk to their body, and others swore that sometimes they heard their body answer.
