Question about monk brain dance side quest.

[Umbrella_Corp74]

As some of you would know there is a side quest (even though it's technically not a quest) where you meet with a monk who teaches you about tranquility or some ♥♥♥♥ using brain dance.

You have the option to pay him for the brain dance or not pay at all and use the brain dance for free.

My question is, do you get anything in return if you always pay for the brain dance every time you meet him?

What happens if you go the other route and choose to use the brain dance for free every time you meet him?

Or is it one of those moments where you're choice is meaningless and nothing happens no matter which option you choose?

I paid him each time and I don't think I really received anything, I thought there would be some tangible reward, but oh well.

Yes...
That is something that you need to figure out on your own.

Bullets is what I pay with

I kinda wondered this myself, after I came across him recently sitting on a park bench. I paid him; he may be a monk... but the poor guy still needs to eat.

We are piles of organic chemicals that randomly came together to move about and hallucinate some sort of higher consciousness. Eventually we will stop moving and return to the dirt we came from. Choice is meaningless, you end up just as dead as everyone else, find your own meaning, or at least stop asking philosophical questions on the internet.
