     This won't work by definition.

    Basic dicotomies operating here are

               Danger             Safety
            No Danger         No Safetey
      Infinite Danger    Infinite Safety
      Too much Danger    Too much Safety
    Too little Danger  Too little Saftey

     Answer to question 'What would happen if you found out?' is Self
Obliteration.

     So then run on entire tone scale from Sovereignty on down to
Spiritual Death, including humor, seriousness, importance, permanence
and pain:

    "What ______ would you be willing to find out?"

    i.e.

     What happiness would you be willing to find out?

     What interest, conservatism, boredom, antagonism, anger, fear,
sorrow, apathy, guilt, blame, shame etc, would you be willing to find
out?

     That should provide some movement and some VGI's.

     The Black V is looking at an inconceivably bad future, in fact
its so bad he doesn't have one, eventually he becomes mortal so he can
die and end it all for good one day.

     "Earlier similar lifetime you were mortal?" might run after the
above starts to open up, but he has to be able to see first.

     Seeing, looking, knowing, emoting, feeling, understanding, being
the effect of, being the cause of etc, are one humongous package.  It's
not just a Black 5, but a Black quite a few things.
