Though her words aren’t exactly the height of comfort, there’s a certain calm that comes with such sobering empathy. Even just that is enough to pick him up a little, and it brings a tug of a wry smile to the corners of his mouth. “Yeah…no foolin’. I uhm……I guess I’m kinda glad somebody’s trying to help figure it out though. Even if it doesn’t yield much, the effort is uh…well, I appreciate it.”
Being honest though, he’d like to avoid thinking about someone else making the same mistake as he did - finding that book especially. He’d rather the thing get burnt up than fall in someone else’s hands. As for the Beast? Well, it’s true, he has no idea how to kill it…but he hopes it’s not impossible, at least.
“Thing like him definitely will take…something unusual to cap. I have no clue what that might be, but…I don’t think he’d be waxing mastermind so hard if he wasn’t a little afraid of biting the dust somehow. Might be a little bold of me to presume but…I’m thinkin’ there’s some way to kill him. If he was already unkillable, you’d have to wonder why he would even bother with all this.”
she could only imagine what it’d be like to be constantly chased the way he was — caught in an endless game of cat && mouse where he had no choice but to take on the role of the VICTIM . still , she did have to admit there was something nice about the fact that at least he still had a sense of humor . hadn’t managed to lose it somewhere along the way . had to admit there was something satisfying about at least having someone appreciate that she was trying to help . ( sure , half the time when a ghost shows up things get destroyed , but the vast majority of the time , that destruction isn’t her fault . not that anyone else seems to care . )
not to mention that he at least seems intelligent . smart enough to be able to figure out this much . && his theory about killing the creature couldn’t be too far off , either . would offer a slight nod . “ if there’s one thing i know , it’s that the only shit in this world that’s IMMORTAL is god && satan , && even then i'm not convinced that’s true . something’s gotta be able to kill whatever’s after you , it’s just a matter of figuring out what . ‘cause you’re right . far as i know , most of the demons that try to pull this kind of shit are on the higher level of , like , unintelligent demons . or right on the edge . sounds to me like it’s gotta do some part of this shit to stay alive && the rest of it’s just — boredom or something . ” a guess , but couldn’t be so far off . he’d referred to it as endless cat && mouse before anyways , hadn’t he ?
&& maybe there was something to that . maybe he was only being played with . tormented , but kept alive long enough for the so - called CAT in this game to play . allowed it to hunt . so he has to be marked somehow , right ? scented or tracked or something . something that left the demon able to trace him even after letting him go && dumping him wherever it was he would end up . “ you're sure it’s always the same one , right ? or could there be multiple ? ” that could complicate things . certainly hoped it wasn’t a group of the things .
