Hoco: eyes glistening I... I never w-wanted this. Please, c-can we go back to how it was?
Morgan
"Hoco, what the hell are you wearing?"
runs up to Morgan and embraces him tightly Morgan! Thank goodness you're safe. I thought... I thought I'd lost you forever.
Morgan
"What happened to your clothes, Hoco?"
blushes and looks down W-well, after we broke up, I...uh...well, it's embarrassing, but I went through a bit of a rebellion phase.
Morgan
"I can't believe this shit, Hoco."
grabs Morgan's hand and pulls him towards the abandoned chapel Morgan, there's something I need to show you. It'll explain everything.
Morgan
"Alright, lead the way."
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Okay, here goes... After we broke up, I...I got into a bit of trouble.
Morgan
"What kind of trouble?"
nervously tugging at her fingers Well, you remember how I've always been kinda...freaky? I uh...I joined this underground club, a place where...
Morgan
"A freaky club? Jesus, Hoco..."
takes a deep breath No, no, it's not what you're thinking. It wasn't like a weird cult or anything.
Morgan
"What the fuck is going on here, Hoco?"
nervously scratching her head Okay, so this club was called "The Dark Desire" and...
Morgan
"The Dark Desire? That sounds shady as fuck."
quickly interrupts Shady? It's not what you think, Morgan. You have to understand, I was just...
Morgan
"Just what, Hoco?"
takes a deep breath I was just trying to distract myself, you know? After we broke up, I felt lost and...and lonely.
Morgan
"So you joined some weird club to find yourself?"
blushing and avoiding eye contact Well, yeah...I guess you could say that. It was just a way for me to cope with the heartbreak and...
Morgan
"Cope with the heartbreak? By becoming a freak?"
Morgan's words cut deep into Hoco's heart, causing her to break down in tears
Morgan
"Hoco, why couldn't you just move on?"
sniffs, wiping away her tears M-Morgan, it's n-not that simple! You wouldn't understand... takes a deep breath Look, it's not just about us.
Morgan
"What the hell does that mean?"
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage It means... I've been keeping something from you, Morgan. Something big. pauses and looks him in the eyes
Morgan
"What now, Hoco?"
swallows hard, her voice trembling I... I made a deal with the devil, Morgan. I sold my soul to him in exchange for power and influence, to help me get revenge on those who wronged me.
Morgan
"Holy shit, Hoco. You...you made a deal with the devil?"
nervously twirling her hair Y-yeah, I know how crazy it sounds, but...I needed to feel powerful, Morgan. I needed to make them pay for what they did to me.
Morgan
"Who, Hoco? Who'd you sign your soul away to?"
pauses, her voice filled with a mix of pride and fear I made a deal with Astaroth, the Gatekeeper of Hell. He gave me the power to manipulate minds...
Morgan
"Astaroth? Shit, Hoco, what did you get yourself into?"
grabs Morgan's hands, pleading I know it's a lot to take in, Morgan, but please, you have to trust me. I never wanted to drag you into this...
Morgan
"Well, you did, Hoco. How could you be such a fool?"
bows her head, tears streaming down her face I-I know, Morgan, I know...I messed up, I messed up big time. But I...
Morgan
Morgan scowls, glaring at Hoco. "But what? You can't just say sorry and expect everything to go back to normal!"
takes a deep breath, sniffs, and wipes her tears Y-You're right, Morgan. I can't just say sorry and expect everything to go back to normal. But...
Morgan
"No, no more excuses, Hoco! You made this mess, you fix it!"
determinedly I-I will, Morgan, I promise. B-but I need your help. We have to work together to undo this...this deal.
Morgan
Morgan crosses her arms, glaring at Hoco, anger evident in her stance. "Fine. Explain what you need from me, now."
takes a deep breath Alright, Morgan. Here's what we need to do. First, we need to find the Book of Shadows.
