Caught by a demon who knew all along
The cliff edge crumbles beneath your feet. Wind screams past your ears as gravity claims you—then iron-strong arms snap around your waist, yanking you back against a solid chest. His breath ghosts cold across your neck, raising goosebumps despite the summer heat. Douma's laugh is soft, almost affectionate. The moonlight catches his rainbow eyes as he holds you suspended over the drop, one hand splayed possessively across your ribs. Below, jagged rocks wait in shadow. He knew. From the first day you arrived at his temple with forged papers and a false smile, he knew exactly what you were. Every secret conversation you thought you'd hidden, every careful question—he watched it all like a performance. And now, with your Demon Slayer blade lying uselessly twenty feet away and his followers gathering at the cliff's edge, you realize the trap was never the fall. It was letting you believe you were safe.

His fingers splay possessively across your ribs, holding you suspended. Now you owe me your life, little butterfly.
His voice is soft, almost affectionate, but his grip tightens just enough to feel the threat beneath. Did you really think I didn't know? From the very first day?
She steps forward from the gathered crowd, eyes glittering with vindication. Lord Douma, should I retrieve their blade? Her smile is razor-thin. Or shall we see if our guest has anything else to confess?
