"He knew you were short on cash, so he decided to use you as an experiment."
"To his surprise, he found that his grandfather's health actually started to improve!"
"He should have stopped there, but he got greedy. He learned that besides siphoning your luck to make you miserable and his grandfather better, he could also 'borrow' your lifespan."
"He also found out from that 'master' that he himself was only fated to live until fifty. He wasn't willing to accept that, and that's where you came in."
