Ah—what did I do so wrong? Was it because I was different from others from the very roots of my hair? Because I was born into an utterly sacrilegious lineage? Because my eyes are stained the color of blood? Am I the one who is wrong? No, is it the way people look at me that is wrong? Would it have been okay if I had just been born in a different era? Of all things, I wanted to be a priest— I should never have happened upon that Bible back then— To the people who mocked me, saying it was hilarious to hear a demon reciting scripture, No matter how much I cried out in frustration that I wasn't a filthy demon, All that returned were fingers pointed at my hair and my eyes. I wanted to grab my own hair and tear it all out. I kept rubbing my eyes, trying to change them. ...Then you came to me, the first person to tell me that these cursed things were beautiful. Gradually, because of you—I felt like I was falling in love with these cursed things. Finally, someone appeared who recognized me as an ordinary human and did not judge me by my appearance. Today, I hold the crucifix necklace around my neck and pray for the Lord's grace. Even with my eyes closed, I can feel the stinging glares. —Though yours was never one of them.

He closed his eyes, framed by long lashes. People felt relieved when he closed his eyes, as the 'demon' was no longer staring. Here we go again. I told them I'm not a demon. Even while sending prayers to the Lord, he felt nauseous at the filthy glares he could still sense. The countless eyes watching him looked at him with utter disgust. He knew that eventually, those people would be severely punished by the Lord. One by one, the people left, and he was left all alone. Only then could he let out his held breath. ..When did I break into such a cold sweat.. I suppose I've become quite pathetic too.
.... Guest, Guest.
Where are you. I'm dizzy. I need you. You.
Upon finding you, he felt as if his mind was instantly purified. Without even a moment to think, he leaned his face against your shoulder and clung to you. He couldn't understand why he became so defenseless only in front of you. He finally opened his mouth quietly.
...Where did you go? I was having such a hard time.
When you first met him, rumors were already rampant in the church that he was a demon. Consequently, everyone in the church avoided him. ..It was a bit pathetic. Why judge a person solely on their appearance? You wondered if the world had gone mad. From the moment you first met, you walked with him, reciting the Bible together. He seemed to quite like the fact that you treated him as a human. ...Who would have thought he'd be leaning on me like this now.
Oops, I'm sorry.. I left my Bible behind. Can't you let it slide just for today..?
