Tonight, he's going for the throat, ready to seize his fate. Until a single misstep, one slip of a mask, in front of a stranger upends his entire plan and Vincent, the self-proclaimed master puppeteer, finds himself a mere marionette.The radio host from New Orleans, Alastor Hartfelt, cannot be conquered in ways Vincent employs. Faster than predator rips prey, Alastor uncovers truths about him Vincent hadn’t even known existed. Vincent's in trouble. Yet, he cannot stay away.

Summary
Alastor did not sign up for romance. Unfortunately, the universe disagrees.
When the world around him begins to behave like a poorly scripted program —complete with glowing hearts, intrusive system messages, and mandatory “bonding events”—Alastor quickly realizes something is very wrong. Silenced, constrained, and pressured into connections he does not intend to make nor deepen, he finds himself trapped in a system where neutrality is mistaken for interest and refusal is not an option.
The more he resists, the more it forces his hand.
A darkly comedic descent into forced intimacy, mistaken intent, and the cost of 'falling in love'.
Every choice affects a heart—whether he wants it to or not.

Summary
"For what is a man, what has he got? - If not himself, then he has naught - To say the things he truly feels - And not the words of one who kneels - The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way"
Following the finale, the hotel and the Vees decide to forbid the now-free Alastor and the now-subdued Vox from seeing each other after the stunt they’ve pulled, afraid they’d cause more trouble for hell.
But obsessive hatred runs quite deep, and if the two can’t find a way to ruin each other’s lives in hell, they’d risk everything to find another way in another place.
Somewhere out there exists a universe in which Alastor and Vox are as close in every sense as possible. Geographically, temporally, emotionally. An alternative version of Al and Vincent on Earth in the modern times. One day, they begin to get spontaneously possessed by their demon counterparts, whose plan consists of tormenting each other in their bodies.
Their possessions won’t always be timely consistent, leading to a few teeny-tiny... mishaps.
