You intended to let him read in peace, but he suddenly set his book down and sighed. The hardcover tapped against the stone table and its pages loudly flipped shut. Satan leaned deep into the chair and raised his hands. He swept his hair back and covered his eyes and just sat there with his arms over his face.

"Are you finished reading?" you asked, taking a step onto the carpet.

"Huh?"

Satan peeked at you from around his elbow. "Oh, yeah. Hey. I'm done with this one."

The book looked relatively new. Shiny blue foil font on a solid black cover lacking any illustrations. Like most of Satan's preferred books, its page count was on the thicker side.

You asked, "Was it good?"

"It wasn't bad. It was alright." Satan's answer was punctuated with another big sigh. It looked like he had more to say but couldn't get the words out.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

He thought about his response with his arms still over his eyes. You watched his chest rise and fall with each breath. The only sound in the library was the crackling fire, and an occasional echoing creak from elsewhere in the house, until Satan suddenly sat up and properly looked right at you.

"After all, isn't there a little Onionsan in all of us?

Hahaha!"

"In fact, you might even say we just ATE ONIONSAN and hes in our STOMACHS RIGHT NOW Hahaha! Wait, scratch that one"
