"If I'm right about when it happened, sometime in late 2023 or very early 2024, what happened to Doctor Faustus in Marlowe's play will be happening to the people responsible, at which point the whole thing will wind up."

That scene of the play was always so intense whenever I saw it, because all Faustus had to do was walk away, but he just couldn't do it. Do the people who sold their souls have the same option, to just walk away, renounce the deal, and move on?
