"Oh, that was exactly what I had in mind!" The demon sent a kick to Lei's stomach, and spun around. "Elise... did you really believe that you could raise Giorgio..? Especially to Anna's satisfaction? You couldn't even properly raise Katya... Hell, you wouldn't know what being a mother is... She's not even your daughter, she's just a more screwed up version of YOU!" The demon reached out, and picked up baby Giorgio. "Oh... So much fear..." It smiled, as the baby continued to cry. "They'll never want you... Not like I want you... I'm your mother..." It said, as the baby stopped crying.
The Espelhar placed Giorgio down, satisfied with what it had done.
"I usually dine and dash..." It said, sitting on the sofa, "But I think I'll stick around..." It pointed at Lei, "You intrigue me..." It then pointed to Elise, "And it will prolong your humiliation!" It said, laughing.

Lei groaned as he fell to his knees in agony.
Elise tried to exit the room, but Anna stopped her.
"Elise... did you really believe that you could raise Giorgio..? Especially to Anna's satisfaction? You couldn't even properly raise Katya... Hell, you wouldn't know what being a mother is... She's not even your daughter, she's just a more screwed up version of YOU!"
Lei stood up on his two feet, his eyes full of anger and bloodlust.
"Yu Mo gui gwai fai di zao!" He shouted as his hands glowed a green aura.
Elise watched as the demon lifted up Giorgio, and Lei was just about to grab him, only for the baby to stop crying as the demon let him down.
"I usually dine and dash... But I think I'll stick around... You intrigue me... And it will prolong your humiliation!"
Lei bared his teeth as he attacked the Espelhar. Elise tried stopping Lei, but his anger got complete control of him. Lei came in with his tiger claws, ready to cut flesh. Elise recognize this as Heihu Quan.

The Espelhar grinned, as it gripped both of Lei's hands, stopping him in his motion. "Oh, did... Claudio not tell you how this works..?" The Espelhar tightened it's grip, but then let him go. It looked down to see blood leak from his hands. "It's said that this move could quite literally cut flesh..." It stepped back, "Whatever you try to do to me... you only do to yourself..."
"I usually don't mind blood on my hands... but for some reason... seeing it on these perfectly manicured hands bothers me..." It laughed, "Must be the vessel.. Was she really that vain?" It asked Elise.
"Oh, besides..." It circled around the bassinet. "I'd rather see you cower before you die... Knowing that you're helpless, and that there's not a thing you can do..." It tilted it's head, "...But please.. Entertain me... Ask me a question!"

The aura vanished as Lei bled from his hands. But before he could do anything, Elise grabbed him by his ponytail, preventing her fiancé from making another careless attack.
"Must be the vessel.. Was she really that vain?"
"She wasn't vain. She... Just enjoyed looking good..." Elise whimpered.
As the Espelhar moved, Lei immediately wrapped his arms around Elise, watching the demon, in spite of his injuries. He was also trying to calm the woman's anxiety down.
"I'd rather see you cower before you die... Knowing that you're helpless, and that there's not a thing you can do...But please.. Entertain me... Ask me a question!"
"Why are you trying to tear us apart? Does our love pose a threat?" Lei asked.
However, Li-Mei wandered into the office, noticing Anna.
"Baba, why is there an evil witch in the house?"
"SHOOT FIRE!" Lei cursed.
What was going to happen to Li-Mei?

The demon grinned, turning around to see the child. "Hello... Little girl.." It walked to her. "My name is Anna Williams... and Your baba, and Miss Elise, are helping take care of my baby." It gently patted her back, "So, get back to bed... So We can have grownup talk..." It smiled at her, channeling Anna's mannerisms.
As soon as it was all clear, The demon turned to them. "...Why you...? You asked?" It walked to Lei, "Because it's convenient. It's too easy... Because I can. You think love is the absence of fear, oh dear no..." It walked to them. "I have only ever faced one person with no fear, and they had no hope left to fear to lose... No, your love gives you hope... Hope that i can shatter into a thousand tiny pieces!"
The demon sat back down, "Go ahead, human... Ask another..."

"But I don't wanna!" She crosses her arms. "Baba is bleeding!"
"Li-Mei! Remember what I told you about grown up time!"
"Okay... Fine..." Li-Mei sighed. She looked at Anna. "Don't take away my Baba!"
She was gone as Lei sighed.
"Because it's convenient. It's too easy... Because I can. You think love is the absence of fear, oh dear no... I have only ever faced one person with no fear, and they had no hope left to fear to lose... No, your love gives you hope... Hope that i can shatter into a thousand tiny pieces! Go ahead, human... Ask another..."
"And why do I intrigue you?" Lei asked.
Lei really needed to fix his hands. Blood was poring, but he couldn't let go of Elise. Lei was going to have to stitch his hands later.

The Espelhar smiled, "Because... You are descendant of the witch who summoned me..." It said, "You carry her blood, your ancestor is responsible for me destroying everything..." It said. "I will not stop until I have drained every last bit of hope I can, and once I do... I'll move on, and let all of you massacre eachother like animals...." It laughed.
"Go ahead... Ask Another..." It looked at Elise, "Except... You ask the question this time..." It said.

Elise quivered, but she finally understood what Lei was doing and why he was holding her. She immediately fell into his embrace, forgetting about the Espelhar for a moment. This took her back to when the demon attacked, but Lei came down unexpectedly and managed to calm her down.
"...Are you going to kill us? If you are, please wait until we are married."

The demon smiled, "...No. Not yet... I'm going to let you live... My reward to Katya for keeping her mouth shut, so thank her... For now." It was going to leave, but then stopped, "...Be very careful of your next steps, Lei Wulong... Your actions summoned me here today... Pushing and prodding into things that don't concern you..." It brought a finger to his chin. "I will always be here... watching you..." It said, fading from vision...
Baby Giorgio then began to scream once more...

The Espelhar left as Lei released himself from Elise and immediately grabbed a needle with a surture, sitting down as he immediately began sowing shut his wounds. He groaned as the rubbing alcohol stung in the wound as Elise tried to tend to Giorgio.
"Shh... Shh... It's okay. Mommy will be back!"
Lei finished one hand and now he was going to work on the other.
"Well, this place is haunted now." He smiled. "Looks like we're going to have to move out."
Li-Mei soon returned. "Baba! Is it true?"
Lei nods. "Yes. But everything is fine now." He puts gauze on his hands, wrapping it up.
"Miss Willy's baby cries so much!"
"I know. Oh yeah, Dr. Kris is going to be staying with me from now on. Are you okay with that?"
Elise waited for Li-Mei's answer.
"No!"
"What do you mean, no?"
"I want Miss Willy to take the baby back!"
"We can't do that!"
"Then Dr. Kris needs to go back to Poland!"
Lei stood up. "Listen, Li-Mei. Elise and I are going to live together. Feli_ I mean Giorgio will be staying until Miss Williams is ready. Capish."
"I wanna go to Mama's house!"
"That can be arranged. She's supposed to come get you tomorrow, anyway."
Elise saw that Lei had so much patience in the world. He doesn't talk down or patronize, or raise his voice at Li-Mei. He remains calm and talks to the toddler as though she were his own peer. He had such a laid back attitude.
She looked at Giorgio.
Wulong would make such a great father... Unlike I, a horrible mother...

After Lei managed to get Li-Mei back into bed, as well as tucking her in, he later returned to approach Elise, who wasn’t in good spirits. She was downtrodden and depressed. Lei knew he had to somehow cheer the woman up.
“Hey, Elise, why don’t we get you out of these clothes and put them in the wash?”
Lei approached her seductively, but he stepped on the baby bottle. He immediately loses his balance as Elise reached out for him. Lei falls backward, kicking his legs as he tried to recover. It was far too late as the bottle shot up in the air, and Lei soon hit the ground, landing on his posterior with a loud thud. It wasn’t over as the bottle of milk lands on the top of Lei’s head, breaking as breast milk dripped from the top of Lei’s head, all the way down to his torso.
Elise could not help but let out a snort-laugh as Lei sat there, embarrassed. Lei honestly meant to trip and fall. But he didn’t mean to get milk spilled all over him.
Well, she is smiling again… I guess… mission accomplished…
“This is why I’m marrying you!”
Elise reached her hand out to help Lei up.
“Okay, so… here's the plan, we both put our clothes in the wash and take a shower together.” He places a hand on her shoulder.
“Alright.” Elise said.
“Listen, don’t listen to that demon!” He looks at her in the eyes, holding her chin, forcing the woman to make eye-contact with him. “It preys on your biggest insecurities and weakness. What was said isn’t true, and you know that!”
“But she was right about Katya!”
“I don’t care… that demon was torturing you!”
“But… she is right about_”
“Shhh! I don’t care if that demon is right or wrong! Elise, you’re a kind, intelligent, and loving woman! This is your opportunity to turn things around.”
Elise looked away.
“C'mon then, let’s take a shower together. You'll feel better afterwards.”
“Okay.” Elise said.
Lei pulls Elise in for a kiss. However, Elise did not reciprocate the kiss, and he immediately backed off and stepped back. Even though he gave her a good laugh and made her smile, Elise still wasn’t really in the mood for cuddles. She usually signals him by tapping him whenever she gets too suffocated.
“Well, um… I guess I will go have a shower instead. Just toss those clothes off to the side there. I'll take care of them. And don’t worry about the mess, I'll take care of it.”
He then left the room as Elise sighed, picking up the baby bottle. She takes a seat and tried to process everything that has happened. Eventually, Elise got up from her chair, taking off her bloodstained clothes as instructed, and decides to join Lei in the shower.
Later on, the two were now lying in bed together after taking a shower together. The two both found it theraputic as this was the best form of intimacy that they were going to get as Elise's body still needed to be healed from such a devastating loss. That moment of vulnerability, left Elise open to more once she healed.
Lei was lying down on his side, turned towards Elise as the woman gets his attention.
"I overheard you talking to Wanrei. You should go to Japan."
Lei yawned. "I... Uhhh uhhh uhhh..." *don't know what you're talking about*
"You should go join your brother."
"Are you sure? I mean_"
“I mean it. Fulong is strong. But he cannot just handle it alone.”
“But… I need to be there for you.”
Elise shook her head. “You have already done enough for me.”
“I have?”
“Yes. You gave me a car, I have a place to stay, and I can just take care of Giorgio on my own. I only needed you for support. But now, you need to destroy the Espelhar, and help everyone else. It is your sworn duty.”
“So… I can just go leave you all alone here in this place that you’re unfamiliar with?”
Elise shook her head. “You are not leaving me behind, dear. I am much stronger than you think. I have resources. I can manage on my own.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“Quit stalling! Just go to Japan and save every one! Just do it for me! I want you to save everyone… I cannot keep you here any longer.”
"Alright..." Lei let out a defeated sigh. "I'll take a hint... But can I at least spend the night with you? I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Lei pulls Elise closer as he kisses her forehead.
"Okay. You can do that. Please... Destroy the Espelhar."
"I will."
