"June, your demons seem to be ones sentient enough to be reasoned with. I don't know why you find that demon important in your quest to destroy your enemy, but please… reconsider stepping closer to that demon." Phillip flattened his lips. "The best kind of justice you can give to everyone done wrong by that demon… is to let him rot within the space he was sealed in."
