[Final Day] Endgame

And just as suddenly as everything had began, the demons are gone—all of them. Not a single crow feather remains. As if being sucked backwards out of a vacuum, sound and light flood into the room and the hallway, crashing down on you. You are back in the real world, with noise and physics and sunlight streaming in through the window.

You are also left with two bereft Bellcourt children, the older of which is suddenly doubling over in his wheelchair and shouting in anguish.

I hope it lasts... or I'm going to owe Luka another candy wrapper.

Luka?

[nods a bit]

I try to keep in contact with them...

I don't think I have their number... why don't I have that.

...I don't want to drag them into whatever this is, if summoning us would be a problem with...

[glances at Kazuki!]

Do you have a piece of paper? My phone is dying, so I can't just give it to you like that.

They're already doing something big too, right?

[looks into her purse for a pad of paper and a pen]

My phone died earlier after I texted Kieran, too.

The exorcism ritual... that was really fast thinking.

I'm relieved at how well it worked... it was dangerous.

It was a calculated risk, I think.

I thought for a moment that it might not... since only priests are taught how to perform exorcisms, usually. Or people with faith.

...but you have faith, don't you?

In many things, yes. But I've questioned before, and I still question His infinite wisdom and the lessons of the Church. I lost faith in some things, and gained some in others. If this were the old me-- the Hunter-- I wouldn't be helping demons or anybody who consorted with them. That I do now means my faith has changed... and I don't know if that's good or bad.

Mm... taking the time to question rather than simply dismiss is an act of faith, I think... it's an attempt to rationalize what you believe with what you can see in the world. It's... a way to help faith grow.
