    Summary

    "Do you have any idea what it's like watching you drift further and further from us? Watching you turn yourself into something unrecognizable? Because I do. I've seen demons cling to human faces like masks. I've watched them mimic grief. Fear. Kindness."
    "Mira." Zoey warns.
    "And lately? When I look at you? I don't see the girl we grew up with and love."
    Rumi's hands begin to shake. "...what do you see?" she whispers.
    "A demon. I don't trust you. Not with me, not with Zoey, not with yourself. You're no different than any other demon we've come across. No different than Gwi-Ma."
    There is a shocked silence.
    Rumi face crumples, it reminds them of the way she begged just a few weeks ago. Begged them not to leave her. To love her. Things had been so good, she was selfish to think she could have this. To want this.
    Her tone is flat and resigned. "Oh."

    -------

    or Rumi tries to hide her full demon traits after the idol awards to protect Zoey and Mira from her, and out of fear that their new fragile relationship will break under the reveal. Mira lashes out in the worst way possible after she catches Rumi in yet another lie, and angst ensues.

    Summary

    "Mon lapin, why are you running, huh? We can talk about this."

    Vincent has made a mistake. A big mistake. He's running as fast as he can, still holding onto that tiny hope that maybe maybe he can escape. Maybe, just maybe, Alastor will let him go.

    A black tendril curls around his leg and pulls. Vincent panics as he falls— only to have large clawed hands wrap swiftly around his waist, he's pulled back with effortless strength and spun back into Alastor's arms. Vincent is pressed into a broad chest, he can faintly feel vermilion claws graze his hips almost warningly.

    "You know all I do is to protect you."

    In which, Vox takes the hit for Alastor during his battle with Adam and dies. Consumed by madness and the realization that he did care for Vox, Alastor follows him into death—only to awaken decades earlier, at the exact moment Vox first falls into Hell as a new sinner. Armed with the knowledge of everything that will come to pass, Alastor seizes the chance to take the newly fallen Vox under his wing… and change their future.

    OR

    Alastor basically atticwifes the TV man.

    Summary

    As soon as Baxter leaves the room, Vox turns back to the creature. It looks truly pitiful: chained to life by whatever hellish science created it, but not equipped to handle actually living. Maybe it’s stupid, but Vox has the urgent desire to fix it. Like he fixed himself.
    He’s not a bioscientist by far, but if anyone knows how to combine robotic parts with organic material, it should be him!
