... It's not quite lining up in my head. If the wishes are being granted by transforming people, and they are then paid for by taking the person whose wish was granted... Then why do we even need to find them? They'll just vanish after a few days. And for that matter, why does someone else wake up at the same time as the person who made a wish?
[ does it cost two lives to grant a single wish...? but somehow that doesn't feel right to him, so he tries his hand at outlining the cycle again. ]
The hands are made of the shimmer that seems tied to some kind of wish granting entity. That shimmer ends up in the people who wish. As payment for their wish possibly being granted, they kill someone. Afterwards, they get taken away by the hands, and the shimmer returns to... somewhere? Maybe the hands, or maybe it jumps to the next wish maker to start all over again? And why even take the wishers away...?
[ with a sigh, his head thunks on the top of the booth's table. his head hurts, and it's not just because of the fun letter effects. ]
If we're payment as part of some cycle, then doesn't that mean an even bigger wish has already been made?

what if we just all collectively died to escape plot
