Finding Sid again, he was given the choice of whether to stay by the Bodhi Tree's side indefinitely, or to return to his normal life, at the cost of the humdrum complications of everyday life slowly chipping away at his enlightenment until he'd all but forget what he had really found here. He found the choice unfair, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Appendix 39-I: Wake to Dream Again|Wake to Dream Again]]'') and, an incalculably amounts of times over, returned to the Tree before seeking Sid out again, being offered the choice again without remembering it was not for the first time, and again returning to the Tree. At last, he realised how many times he had repeated the pattern, and, complimenting Sid's patience, said he was ready to return. Sid reminded him of his true identity by telling him that “the Manor await[ed] its Lord”, and his memories and lust for life came crashing back into his mind like a storm. Grinning, he headed home from his “vacation”, once again on “the infinity kick”. He playfully remarked that the end of his vacation was only the beginning of the, by now, very tired Sid's.

Climbing the sound of chimes in [[the Courtyard]] to pluck a leaf from the Bodhi Tree, and then consuming that leaf, was one of the steps in the complex ritual needed to gain access to [[the Vault]] of [[the Strange and Wonderful House]]. This was carried out by [[Frank the Janitor]] on at least one occasion.
