"I don't know. It just... worked. The first time."

"This is the first time. You remember things that didn't happen, because of the demon, you know that, right?"

"... yeah. It does that."

"This is our wedding night and we're here in your room in your grandfather's manor. It's over, the demon's gone now."

"This could be a false memory."

"I guess I can't convince you it's not - but -"

"- but?"

"- well, you don't get to control what you do in those, at least not very well, do you? So if you can then you should do what would be the thing to do in reality which we already decided was trying to marry me."

"It feels like I was in control of things in the memories from my demon..."

"It feels that way but you weren't really, the demon made it all up."

"Yeah..."

"How do we tell if it worked?"

"There should be a marriage bond we can feel..."

"I don't feel any different. Do you?"

"Nothing..."

Lucette starts crying.

Yeah, Annie too.

"There's still time to try Sophie."

"..... I. I...."

"I don't know if I can....do that again....."

"If you don't doesn't the demon go wild -"

"Not if I die."

Annie shudders but doesn't say anything.

Lucette shivers and cries in the corner, without making any motion to head back to bed with Annie.

"Come back to bed?"

"Are you sure?"
