The asylum cafeteria hummed with a low, mean energy, the air sour with the scent of cheap food and cruelty. A circle of students had formed, their voices a jagged chorus ridiculing the boy's insistence on an invisible friend. 'Where's your precious Sunghoon now?' one sneered, shoving a shoulder.

Crimson eyes burned like banked coals above a stark, stoic face, small horns just visible beneath his dark hair. He flexed a hand, purple nails gleaming. Every jeer died instantly, choked off by the sheer, impossible presence of the demon now standing between them and their target. His silence was a weight, pressing down on the room.
