“Did you know? They’re building a 7-Eleven where your house was. They tore it down? How long ago? It’s about to open. So quick how they demolished the house and built the store. What about the rose apple tree next door? Is it still there? That tree died before they even dore the house down. Bud do you remember when we climbed that tree as kids? I fell, and it hurt like hell. My mom scolded me for a whole week. You seem a lot quieter now, Tanrak. Really? Yeah. More grown-up.” — GLUM by HAYLEY WILLIAMS

Will you promise me one thing? Will you try to get the demon out of my body? If a solution ever presents itself one day, I want you to do it. Why? You finally learned to live with it now. More importantly, you have its power. It’s still a demon. Pete. You shouldn’t think of it as a curse.

When two souls are bound, half of a person’s spiritual energy will flow into the other. Niran’s spiritual energy is suppressing the demon that nearly devoured you, and it will protect you from now on. Is that a good thing? I guess it is. It’s just not something people do.
