...I would hesitate to call it simple. The Incubators have a direct interest in seeing you fall; they would intervene as much as they could. In truth I would prefer it that, no matter what, you would not make the contract by any circumstance.

Your mother; your father. Even if this city were to fall, it is not worth risking the rest of the world. And you would be signing your life away no matter your wish.

I am sorry to put this burden upon you, but the delicacy of this situation cannot be over-exaggerated. If there is any potential catastrophe that could inspire you to wish, have no doubt the Incubators would work to make it so.

Fate is just too cruel.
