Amal: What the hell is that?!?
Amal: A demon???
All Amal could see was a person that looked like a clown. He didn't understand why it looked like that, or what it was, but the aura, the presence, even the screams, sounded horrifying.
Amal: Shit, he's still in Miami. I need to report this immediately.
As Amal reached out to get his HT, something appeared in the side of his eye. He could see something—a clown, a jester.
Amal turned around in horror to see what he perceived to be a demon.
Amal: Are you the "person" who killed that couple and that man a couple of days ago?
The "demon" did not say anything.
But with a smile on his face, the "demon" looked at the man and said nothing.
Amal could tell something was off.
Nothing came out of this "demon" he was staring at.
It had no eyes, only two yellow Xs where its eyes were meant to be. It was relatively short, around 4'10".
His jester costume was half blue, half red, all the way down to the hat.
His mask was white, and he had red lipstick on.
Amal, with his vision already on, said: Seeker, find what this thing is.
An orb flew out, and light shone on it to find out what it was.
SEEKER: Identifying... Nothing... Identifying... Nothing.
Amal: Shit, still nothing.
Amal: What the hell are you?
Amal: Seeker, change positions. Seek my brain. Block out anything that's coming from the outside.
SEEKER: Identifying... FOUND AMAL'S BRAIN... Blocking out external forces.
Seeker's light shone on Amal.
Jester: Interesting.
The "demon" pulled out two short swords, one green, one orange.
After that, a couple of seconds of silence followed.
After that, shots were fired, and the silence was filled with loud bangs.

Anima: Eros, HEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Eros: See, sir, you just need to take a deep breath. I know it's a lot to take in with feelings.

Anima: IDKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Yes, this is Anima in therapy with Eros, the therapist he was talking to, talking about his feelings.
How did we get to this point? Let's rewind time a bit.
8:30. Anima wakes up for school. Nothing special here. He sleeps in the living room on a platform above the couches. Almost his entire house is wooden. He wakes up; his dad is usually making him breakfast. After that, he goes outside and meets his friends, Eros and Vera.
Anima: Hey, Vera.
Eros: What's good, loser?
Anima: Hey, dumbass.
They walk to the pastry store and order the usual.
But as Anima sat there with Eros and Vera, Eros could tell something was different between Vera and Anima ever since that "incident."
Like the vibe was off, but he didn't say much about it.
Anima: What is it with her? I can't tell. Is something off? Is she off? Am I off? FUCK, I don't know anymore. God, please, anything. Why is she looking at me like that? Why can't girls be more clear?
It was 9:00. They sat in their math class. They were in Mr. Kiran's class, their dream walker teacher. Also, today was a normal day, so no extra dream walking talk.
Anima: How do I solve this shit? It's too hard. I can't understand math. Fuckkkkkk.
Anima: Just look at how easy Vera and Eros are doing this shit. They're like smiling and shit. There ain't nothing to be smiling about. Fuck this classsssssssssssssssss.
As Anima was giving up on the question, Vera walked up to Anima's desk.
Vera put her hands on Anima's desk.
Vera: You need any help, Anima?
Anima: Uh, no, I'm good.
Vera: You idiot. I see you struggling with this question for, like, 30 minutes now.
Vera: Here, let me help.
As Vera was helping with the problem, Anima was "distracted."
Anima: Why is my heart beating so loud? Was her long blond hair always that shiny, and her eyes always that green, and those two big—never mind. AHHH, what's going on in my brain? I can't think straight. Why are they so jiggly? BRAIN, STOPPPPP.
Vera: Are these distracting you?
Anima: Huh?
Vera: Do you like them?
Anima: WTFFEYAGHSUASDASUDHUASD WTFFFFFFFFFF IS GOING ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anima dropped from his chair.
The whole class turned around. Everyone was very confused.
Vera: Are you okay...?
Anima: I thought she was meant to be a Christian girl!?????????????
Right after that class, Anima booked a therapy session right away.
Anyway, the rest of the day was boring as shit, so let's just skip forward.
Anima: And... Of course, you're my therapist.
Eros: Sir, how can I help you today?
Anima: Well, you, me, and this girl...
Eros: I know. First, just take a deep bre—
Anima: Eros, HEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Eros: See, sir, you just need to take a deep breath. I know it's a lot to take in with feelings.
Anima: IDKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Eros: Anima, calm down.
Anima: What do I do????????? I feel like I've been off my rocker lately. I've been tweaking out.
Eros: It's fine. See, usually when you like someone, you see them in a different light. Before, your body feels more anxious, your heartbeat feels faster, you know, your thing starts doing stuff you can't control. It's fine.
Anima: I don't know what to do. I have never felt like this in my life.
Eros: Anima, it's fine. Kids your age, stuff like this happens all the time. Hormones start to grow, and your body starts growing. It's a natural part of life.
Anima: I get it, but how do I describe it? Elio would say, "It's totally messing up my flow, man."
Anima says this, mocking Elio's voice.
Eros giggles a little bit.
Eros: Okay, man. My biggest advice is just to distract yourself. Find a part-time job, something else that will keep your mind off it. If games and stuff aren't helping.
Anima: Will do. See you later, Eros.
Eros: You too, Los—I mean, Anima.
Anima walked out of the building with a bit of relief and comfort.
Anima: Let's see what jobs I could find.
Anima used his phone and went on Indeed and found out there's a babysitting job hiring right now, and the pay is decent.
Anima: Okay, let's try this out.
Anima walked to the house, as it wasn't that far from his school.
Anima knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock.
A woman in her mid-20s answered.
Carina: Hello, my name is Carina. Are you here for the job?
