Johnny was walking through the city alone. His old illness was acting up and he didn't want to be around anyone he cared about.

Johnny continues to walk, a lasting grimace on his face as his evil thoughts resurfaced. Everything's too damn clean. The damn yang energy continues to build up! What am I, the sun!? What the fuck am I going to do with all these good things!? He exclaims in his mind before taking a deep breath. I have to sin. I need something dirty. He thinks before walking to the red light district.

Johnny frowns. “What? How old are you?” He asks, displeased.

“18, master. Why? Am I not pleasing to the eye?” The lady asks as she caresses Johnny’s chest.

Johnny lets out a sigh. “No, it’s fine.” He says. “It would just have been better if your breasts were still developing.” He says honestly.

The lady’s eyes widen and she stands up. She gives Johnny a disgusted look. “You’re fucking disgusting. I’m not serving you. I’ve served trash before, but you’re worse than sewer trash.” She says before leaving.

Johnny lets out another sigh and rubs his head. Fuck, I think I’m getting worse. He says. Urgently attempting to suppress himself, he picks up the glass pipe and begins to heat up the purple crystals before inhaling.

Johnny lets out a sigh of relief, exhaling a cloud of smoke. That’s a little better… He thinks before his mind begins to wander. Should I rape a princess? He wonders before shaking his head. No. I’m going too far. I just need… I just need to get as fucked up as possible… He thinks before continuing to heat the pipe.

“Johnny; Johnny!” Lucy says as she shakes Johnny’s shoulders.

Johnny’s eyes open and he rubs his head. It felt like someone had drilled a hole into it. “Ughhh.” Johnny says as he looks around. “Where am I?” He asks himself.

Lucy lets out a bitter smile. “Johnny, you were passed out on the streets. Come on. Let’s get back to the inn.” She says as she lifts Johnny up, holding him as they walk forward.

Lucy shakes her head. Over the years, as she got to know Johnny more and more, their relationship slowly faded. It wasn't because Lucy’s feelings faded; instead, it was because they began to grow steadily. Lucy had always aimed to be strong and independent, thus she found it weird. Why was she relying so much on Johnny? So she got scared and distanced herself. Then, she began to notice it. There was a weird energy around Johnny… It sort of… pulled people in…

Lucy wondered what it could be and did a few tests secretly. She found out, Johnny really did pull things towards him. For everything around him, there was a sort of attraction, even the world’s energy was being pulled in. Lucy had no idea what it was, but the thought of what it could be scared her. It was like… Like there was some deep and terrible void inside of Johnny… Something that the world urgently wished to fill… As for why, Lucy had no idea.

“I, I’m fine.” Johnny says as he stands and walks on his own.

Lucy lets out a sigh. What was he doing last night? Lucy asks herself. “Johnny, are you a good person?” She asks, unable to hold it in.

Johnny lets out a laugh and looks at Lucy. “Are you serious? Why are you asking that?” He asks.

Lucy frowns. “Just answer it honestly.” She says, determined to hear an answer.

Johnny lets out a bitter smile. “Lucy… I’m beyond good and evil. I’m the love and hate between these two things; the part of them that wishes they were the other.” He says.

Lucy’s raises an eyebrow. “What does that mean?” She asks.

Johnny shakes his head. “But if you were to ask it differently… From a mortal’s perspective am I good or evil?” He says before letting a chuckle and looking at Lucy. “From a mortal’s perspective, Lucy, I am the devil.” He says honestly.

Lucy’s eyes widen.

Then, Johnny's stomach became queasy and he pukes on the side of the road.

Lucy lets out a bitter smile. If only we were all so lucky... To have such a helpless devil... She thinks, somewhat amused.
