"congratulations!
you have found the first demon in al1!"

Junhui
[ in thought ]
i found the
first demon?

Junhui
does that mean
that soonyoung
or minghao are demons?

Junhui
i don't even know
what a demon is..

"now that you have found the
first demon, you must make a choice.
do you trust the demon?
or do you not trust the demon?

junhui looks up. soonyoungs speech is going in one ear and out the other.
minghao is just there, he can't really do anything.
junhui has no idea who the demon is.

Soonyoung
Here's the plan.

Soonyoung
I figured out a way out of here!

Soonyoung
We have to relinquish the demons.

Soonyoung
Al1 has selected I think around 7 demons?

Soonyoung
All we have to do is find them
before they can kill us.

trust the demon.
don't trust the demon.

junhui makes his choice.

soonyoung suddenly stops moving. he begins choking, as if invisible hands clamped around his throat and are closing the airways in his lungs.

minghao runs forward, trying to release soonyoung from the hold.

junhui only watches in horror.

soon, soonyoung cries as he begins to turn into black dust.

Soonyoung
You..

Soonyoung
don't...

Soonyoung
trust...

Soonyoung
me..?

Soonyoung
I only wanted to help..

Soonyoung
to save us all...

Soonyoung
how could you?

soonyoung looks up at the ceiling, at nothing in particular.
junhui can't see what he sees.

Soonyoung
Jihoonie..?

Soonyoung
Are you ready for me?

Junhui
Wait- I'm sorry!

minghao gave up.

soonyoung closes his eyes just as the black dust fades, and so does soonyoung.

the boy with the stars in his eyes and passion in his dance is gone.

soonyoung's administrator privileges have been passed on to minghao, as he was the last one to touch him.

junhui only watches as bright red letters appear where soonyoung last stood.

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU HAVE KILLED THE FIRST DEMON!
ALTHOUGH, HE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS..
MANY DEMONS WILL NOT BE AS KIND AS HIM.

GOOD JOB! HERE'S YOUR PRIZE!

a hamster charm appears in junhui's hands.

ITEM RECEIVED
"SOONYOUNG'S LIGHT."
- an item endowed by the spirit of Demon Soonyoung. the charm glows as bright as his spirit. you will now be able to teleport anywhere you want, at any given time without disruption from other demons.

junhui holds the charm to his chest and sobs.
