They were once the most feared duo known as Ezra and Irene Belmonte, two powerful twin exorcists who completely eradicated the demon race and sealed away their king.
However heroic their jobs were, at their core, the twins were not good people.

Every year there is a certain time period that is especially hard for the twin's grandfather to endure.
When summer is at its peak and the nights start to get a little colder, Robert Reece is constantly reminded of his wife, who left the world all too soon.
The twins never got to know their grandmother. By the time they were even able to crawl, their grandmother was already gone.
They sometimes wondered if they could have had some memories of her if they had regained the memories of their previous lives sooner.

The morning came slow in the house; the twins got dressed in their best and darkest attire.
Everyone was moving around quickly; their grandfather was struggling to pack up the last of their supplies in the basket and find a blanket.
Eli was rushing around to find the food everyone had decided on the night before. "Esther!" he shouted as he ran out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Where is the other container of cupcakes at?"
Esther, who was coming down the stairs as he asked that, had other things on her mind. She wondered where her black dress shoes were.
"Esther!" Eli called again with more force.
"I don't know," she answered. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she looked over at the door where the piles of shoes were. She couldn't see her dress shoes anywhere over there. "Where are my shoes?" she asked.
"Grandpa has them," Eli answered. "Now, where are the cupcakes?"
"I don't know," Esther answered again.
For some reason, the tension was high between them.
Esther eyed Eli's untied tie at his neck. "Come here," she said to him. Despite their bickering, Eli did as he was told. Esther took the tie in her hands and slowly began to tie it. "Why do you never learn how to do it properly?" she asked.
Once she finished fixing it, she slowly lowered her hands away from the tie and looked at her brother. They both got a flash from their past. Irene would often have to tie Ezra's ties for him. Repeating the same words Esther had whenever she did it.
Esther and Eli's expressions dulled as they slowly moved away from each other and went in opposite directions. Eli went down the hall to find the cupcakes, and Esther went to the kitchen to find her grandfather, hopefully with her shoes.
Esther entered just as he was finishing packing their things. "Grandpa, do you have my shoes?"
"Yes," he answered, looking up at her. "They're right here." He turned around and grabbed two little black formal shoes. "I didn't want them to get dirty since we just bought them."
Esther looked at the shoes before thanking him and putting them on. She walked back into the living room, looking for her brother.
"Eli," she called. "Where are you? It's almost time to go."
