Macaque listens to the instructions. Repeats them to himself to be certain he has it.

He knows that Cole will think this is a mistake. There are downsides that he's not aware of, certainly. It's impossible to see all the cards when he's not familiar with the world.

He'll have to hope that it's enough to be of some help. Maybe keep Cole alive. At least keep someone important to him alive.

He takes the pen, and signs the contract. It'll be whatever it is. He couldn't just do nothing.
