"Uhm, right. Angel? Can you tell me anything about your experience with 'demons' down here?" Your face does its best to make a smile, but it must've looked real wrong, given the looks everyone is giving you.
"I would prefer if I didn't, thanks." Angel dismisses your question just like that.
"W-well, i-if we're asking, it could, uh. It could be h-helpful for all of us! W-we can help you deal with those n-nasty demons or. Something."
It's clear her words aren't helping. "I don't think you could deal with them, sister Lucy, like I do. I'm sorry."
"Ey, she's tougher than she looks. 'sides, Angel boy, we'd get outta yer hair the moment you tell us about 'em. Heck, to be frank, even though I'm Anthony?" Was that an attempt at a joke? It's enough to get Angel to crack a smile.
"We kinda came here because of 'em. Vinny's being real polite, real proper, but the metaphorical cat can only suffocate inside its bag for so long."
"We'll leave if you really don't want to talk about it." You try your best to appeal to Angel. "But please, let them help you, at least."
>2 SUCCESSES!
"Fine. I suppose I'll be quick, then. It's funny if you think about it." There's a lingering trace of nostalgia in the priest's gaze as he stares at you. "You would always tell stories about the monsters you'd see out there in the swamp."
"I always thought you were trying to scare me."
You've dealt with anomalies in the past before. Way too many to count or remember, especially when you consider the fact ARC has probably erased your memories while you were still a civilian. The mannequin. The <span class="mu-r">Heart....</span>
"I wasn't." That's all you say in response.
"There are three in recent memory that have...lingered in my thoughts. There was that demon in a human's shell. One that pretended to be a Child of God."
"You mean-" Lucy was about to say something, but she wisely shuts up.
"2 Corinthians 11:14. I could smell its evil simply by looking at it. It was hiding its face, a window to its soul, but. It babbled in tongues, tongues that sounded like English. It wanted to help me, it said, it could sense a familiar 'spiral', a familiar burden inside my soul."
"I." Angel shakes his head. "It kept talking about the kindness in my soul. That it wanted to help its fellow man, to understand the 'milk of human goodness'. Complete nonsense, I say! I told the demon to leave me be. I almost wanted to shoot it, but something. Something told me not to."
"That it'd hurt me more than I'd hurt it."
Did he somehow sense that FET is tied to you? It also sounds like FET can somehow detect auras, like you can via M.A.D WORLD. If it wasn't for the BLACKWELL rep stalking you, you'd probably check up on him right now.
"I-it's okay. W-we don't have t-to talk about that one any m-more." Lucy does her best to comfort your brother. To her credit, Angel manages to move on without too much struggle.
"Wherever that demon is, as long as I never see it again, I'll let it be." Oh thank god, FET's safe.
