The Talisman

The Talisman is the thing that brings the machine to life. The Machine protects it with it's life, and when it sucks the life out of a stitchpunk, their soul is trapped within the Talisman. When 9 releases the souls of 1, 2 ,5, 6, and 8 at he end, the Talisman glows green and pops open.
