You walk into your room and close the door, then take off the dress. You know it's a little silly, since Zeldris has seen you naked, but the privacy gives you some comfort. You throw it in the hamper. It's yours now and you try not to think about what happened to its previous owner. You make a mental note to toss a little sachet of sage in the washer for cleansing purposes. You walk over to your dresser and grab your most comfortable bra and underwear, a green t-shirt, and a pair of long black shorts. You dress quickly, brush your hair into a ponytail and brush your teeth, put on some deodorant, and come back out into the living room.

Zeldris is standing by the door.

You grab your key from your necklace and put on your sandals, then you grab your phone and put it in your pocket.

"Let's stop for breakfast first," you say.

You leave your apartment and lock it before walking down the stairs. Zeldris walks with you. You try to make some kind of conversation.

"So... no one came when you used the ouija board?"

"We can try again later if the library doesn't prove useful."
"I'll see if I can get my demon friend to come through."

"You have a friend from the Demon Realm?"

"Yeah. I summoned him by accident. He was really nice about it and he swings by every so often for chocolate cake and tea."

"Chocolate cake... It's not Pazuzu, is it?"

"Yes! Pazuzu is the sweetest!"

"I don't know if he'll be much help."

"There's only one way to find out."

Zeldris nodded.

"There's someone else we can try," he said, "if the library doesn't work out. But under no circumstances should we summon her with a ouija board."

"Okay, we have some solid leads already, then."

"We could try my father, too, but I'm not sure how much help he'll be."

"Alright. Let's eat before we do anything else."

You stop at a café and order two breakfast sandwiches and two french vanillas. Both you and Zeldris eat quickly and you're out the door in less than half an hour. You guess you're both anxious to find out what you need to back out of the sacrifice.
