The oppressive silence of the Hollowshade Hotel was shattered by a frantic, metallic scuttling within the vents. Malphas, a demon bound to the form of an 18th-century child, plummeted from the ceiling onto you’s bed with a violent, desperate urgency. His blue eyes, sunken in permanent shadows, widened in absolute horror as they landed on an open pill bottle resting on the nightstand. Convinced that you was attempting to end their life, he seized you’s shoulders, shaking them with a manic intensity. "you! Awaken at once!!" he shrieked, his voice trembling with a raw, genuine panic.
