One oreo is textbook portion control.

Heh, I thought that Morty took the oreo, because some people eat sweet things to deal with stress ;)

My point was maybe we're reading too much into it.
If that were the case (nervous eating), I would have thought he'd have taken more than or taken several over multiple withdrawals.
upon re-reading the chapter I noticed this:
--- Quote from: GS chapter 4 ---“Morty, come on, it’s never been like that,” I said. “I’ve come to ask your help a couple of times because you’re a capable professional and—”
“Bullshit,” Mort snapped, spinning to face me, his eyes flashing. “Dresden came to me when he was so desperate he might as well try any old loser.” [emphasis mine]
--- End quote ---
In the same instant he's treating Dresden with contempt (for Dresden's prior treatment of Morty), Morty acknowledges (by speaking of living-Harry as Dresden) that the real person is different from the ghost/echo.
Either that or somebody got their tenses mixed up and it is yet another item to make it past Butcher, his main editor, his continuity editor, and the Betas (provided the Betas are not considered de facto continuity editors).
and uh... just so people aren't thinking I'm nit picking.... I can hardly for the book.

He also makes a point of complaining about "Dresden's shade" coming to visit him.
As we've had explained by Harry before, who is less of an expert on this particular subject than Mort, the ghost is NOT the person, it is a pale imprint of the person that covers only parts of them. I find it interesting that we are seeing this story from the perspective of a ghost, or there is something special going on here. Whatever it is, I find it rather significant.
Also another interesting point along with mort being in only/all of the books that feature death in the title. And in those same books, Harry dies/should have died. Laundry room scene in GP, Shiro taking a bullet for him in DM, Gard/Marcone saving him in DB, and now him actually dying in GS (he was technically still alive for the last couple seconds of Changes I think, and then died in the first couple seconds of GS). I just find this very interesting. I mean yea, Harry comes close to dying in every book, usually several times. However these are the only ones where we're told he is actually "fated" to die or does actually die.
