What if one of the conditions to let Rin live was not only that he pass the exorcist exam in six months, but that he would also have to spend two weeks with the Vatican to 'prove he's not dangerous?' Will he still be the same person after? Set after the Amaimon attack. Based off the manga, but no spoilers because the only scene I took from it is the trial. No pairings *so far.* Started ~ September 9th, 2017

Rin has been having a hard time since his demonic secret got out. His friends won't acknowledge his existence and his brother has been giving him the cold shoulder. How much more can Rin take? This story does have self harm and suicidal actions. Amazing cover art by LittleFireOfLife.

(First Rendition) 41,653 words: Rin is neither human nor demon, he fits in nowhere. His so called "friends" make that known often, and his own brother has turned his back on him. With no one to talk to, Rin turns to self destructive behaviors in order to get through everyday life. However, will a routine mission make it all crumble apart?
