''SLAM!'' You shut the heavy door as the last client screams in agony, resting for a moment wiping sweat from your red forehead and horns, exhaling in relief. Another day of torturing clients, there’s time before you return to the grind of the workplace and tortures more clients. You spot a mirror in the hallway to check how deathly you appear. <<set $question to 0>> <<set $question1asked to false>> <<set $question2asked to false>> <<set $question3asked to false>> <<set $question4asked to false>>

The effect of this pure love led to you transferring from your crummy job in Hell straight into Heaven and convert into a fallen angel. As a reborn fallen angel, you console humans coming to terms with passing in the afterlife. Audrey accepts your new job hesitantly at first, but you give her punishments upon request which comforts her. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ //Life is simply sweet and pure.// <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Bless the opal bird! ''END: PURE LOVE'' <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

<<if $offseasonsbook is 1>>\ You decide that staying as friends is the best for both of you. You don't feel like a romantic relationship now. Besides, a demon and human romance is cliché, why can’t we just stay as friends? You face Audrey. Flying a respectful distance [[towards her.|Friend off seasons 2]] <<else>>\ You face Audrey. Flying a respectful distance towards her. “Thank you for today’s session. I hope your punishment taught you a good lesson about your sinful actions and how you too can suffer consequences. Don’t come back-” “Yeah, I don’t really want to come back honestly, the thing about the weather really ruined it [[for me.”|Friendship]] <</if>>

With a snap of your fingers, Audrey disappears from the torture chamber. <<linkreplace "snap!" t8n>>\ //poof// <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ Well, that takes care of that. ''END: BANISHED'' <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

After the hunt for someone new, you realised Audrey still made your heart flutter. In Hell, you find Audrey locked in arms with Paul, out of all demons, him?! You convince Audrey to stay with you while letting her openly date other demons because you didn’t want her out of your life. She agrees, your rekindling relationship was on a rocky road, but it's better than losing Audrey completely. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ The curse of the ruby apple!! ''END: TRAGIC LOVE'' <</linkreplace>>\

You walk further down the never-ending hallway and spot a co-worker, Paul. He's awfully chirpy and giddy talking to the two other demons. Snapping his suspenders and combing his hair back, he reeks of hair gel and minty cologne. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ <<if $fullenergy is 1 and $tired is false>>\ You fly steadily down the hallway.

You fly unevenly and enter the breakroom, too tired to keep up with the work-life balance. You notice a cracked [[mirror|Look in mirror]] as you enter the [[breakroom.|Food in Breakroom]]

You pull a peg from the wheel down and gaze upon its hypnotic spin. //WoOoOosh!// The anticipation drains you, so you stop the wheel yourself. The triangle flap decided its fate upon a new client. [[Hmm...|Meet Audrey]]

<<if $foodconsumed is 1>>\ You fly into the corridor merrily, flying evenly to the torture chamber. You rarely feel giddy before a client. Must’ve been a funny thought, or a tasty <<print $item>> that helped this mood change. [[Enter chamber]] <<else>>\ You fly into the corridor coasting towards the torture chamber. You rarely feel nervous before a client. Must’ve been an odd thought that helped this mood change. [[Enter chamber]] <</if>>

Audrey is enchanted by the gorgeous outfit you’re wearing. “Uh... H-hi there, artist-ocratic de- I MEAN! aristocratic demon.” Audrey stumbles over their words. “Yes, that’s me. I'm the warden of this chamber today.” You express confidently with hands on your hips. Never show your true feelings, that’s rule one [[of torturing.|Demon has a job to do 2]]

"Audrey... I think I... feel some things I've never felt for someone before.” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ You fidget with your blouse and dart your eyes around the room, finally breaking character from the intimidating demon persona. You close your eyes briefly, breath in and look at Audrey with eyes wide open. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “After getting to understand you during our session, I think we’re compatible as romantic partners. Oh goodness, I've never been on this end of a confession before, usually I'm the one being confessed to. I think I love you. [[Do you feel the same way?”|Confess to Audrey?!_2]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

Audrey stares back at you, mouth hanging open, breathing heavily, eyes shocked. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “You love me back too?! I didn’t know somebody as cool as you could feel stupid feelings like love towards someone like me, a degenerate of a human being?! I say YES!!” The power of Asmodeus was on your side! You tear up and fly to nestle in Audrey’s neck, still restrained [[on the rack.|Client says yes_2]] <</linkreplace>>\

Audrey stares back at you dejectedly. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “uh.. Sorry, you’re a cool demon and all, but I’m just not hunting for a relationship right now. I’d like to keep you as a friend, but I don’t see you as anything more than somebody to chill and talk about gory shit with over pizza. Are you down to stay friends with me or should we cut it off from here?” That sucks for the first time you truly [[felt love for somebody.|Client says no_2]] <</linkreplace>>\

You ponder for a moment, tapping index finger on your chin with a soft hum. It’s time to give the client what they want. You fly over to the stretching rack’s wheel and start spinning it... <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ ''C L O C K W I S E'' <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ Audrey gasps in excitement. “OH SHIT. YES. STREEEEEEEETCH ME OUT!!” You stop for a moment as your brows furrow with disapproval written on your face. [[Stop Punishment]] [[Continue punishment]] <<set $punishment = 0>> <<set $punishmentnotgiven = false>> <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

You tilt your head at Audrey, one hand on the hip with the other under your chin. “Ok, let's go psychiatric deep dive, then. Why do you like being punished?” “Wow, I didn’t think you had it in you to be nice?” Audrey lowers her emotional defence. You float into a sitting position, summoning a notepad and pen with the snap of your fingers. “Go on.” You insist. [[Audrey breathes]]

<<if $foodconsumed is 1>>\ “Do you have any favourite snacks to nourish your unholy body, Audrey?” You ask smugly. Audrey looks back at you with a puzzled expression. “Uh... I guess I like to eat a good <<print $item>>, makes me feel alive [[more than anything.”|question1_2]] <<else>>\ Do you have any favourite snack to nourish your unholy body, Audrey?” You ask smugly. Audrey looks back at you with a puzzled expression. “I prefer drinking the blood from my enemies, it makes me feel alive [[more than anything.”|question1_2]] <</if>>

You despise small talk, does the client? “So... how’s the weather up where you came from, Audrey?” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “Are you seriously asking me about the fucking weather? If you don’t have anything to say, I rather you stare at me awkwardly in silence thanks.” Audrey despises small talk too. Glad to know both You and Audrey are on the [[same page.|That's enough small talk.]] <<set $question4asked to true>> <<set $question to $question + 1>> <</linkreplace>>\

“Any romantic partners in your life, Audrey?” You ask putting your hand under your chin, leaning into Audrey’s face. “No. Whenever I've tried in the past, it’s always scared future partners off, I've never gotten past a kiss. Kinda why I'm down here.” Audrey stares at the floor [[sorrowfully.|question2_2]]

“Tell me, Audrey. Besides being tortured like the sick soul you are, what else do you enjoy doing?” “Well, I'm a bookworm. People seem to think I like to go out clubbing and sky diving every weekend but, I just want to read a good book about horror, especially if they involve murder. I loOoOove this book Off Season, the original publisher wanted nothing to do with it until the 90s where it got picked back up! It involves cannibals and gruesome torture. I highly recommend it!” Audrey’s eyes lit up and spoke animatedly as she spoke passionately about torture... well at least [[its fiction?|question3_ 2]]

<<if $question gte 3>>\ [[That's enough small talk.]] <<else>>\ What should you ask the client first?

You realise its love! Audrey has been the missing puzzle piece to make your heart race, hands clammy, face flushed redder than your ruby skin. Grasping your chest you try to control your breathing and slow it down. <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ //innnnnnnnn <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ and <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ [[ouuuuuuuut|is it love? 2]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

You’re relieved to finish the small talk session. You fly back and forth around the torture chamber, pondering and humming. <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ “hmmmmmmm...” <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ Puzzled with your feelings, you seem to like Audrey after getting to know her. In a friend kind of way... Or something more... A romantic kind of [[way?|enough small talk 2]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

Confessing admits weakness. You won’t be broken down easily over simple [[bodily reactions.|Doesn't find true love]]

After the encounter in the torture chamber, you and Audrey have a strong bond with one another. You both help improve each other for the better and bond over the goriest stories. You shift between Hell and Earth to hang out with Audrey on cute dates, exploring cool restaurants, bookstores, as well as [[walks in the park.|Pure love PT2]]

After the encounter in the torture chamber, you and Audrey start off strong in the relationship. The relationship developed into lust towards one another. After some time, Audrey felt bored with you using the same techniques to punish her. Audrey searched out other demons in secrecy to share her lustful desires with. When you found out about the infidelity, [[it broke your heart.|Evil love PT 2]]

As both you and Audrey share a //soft tender kiss...// <<linkreplace "smooch..." t8n>>\ A spirit slams open the chamber door. You both gasp and face towards the door in reaction. <<linkreplace "GAH!" t8n>>\ Who dares interrupt your [[first passionate kiss?|Lilith enters 2]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

“Hey hey hey!! Sup Eden! I see you’re finished punishing another client, I LOOOVE when they scream in agony!” Paul speaks speedily and taps your shoulders joyously. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ <<if $fullenergy is 1 and $tired is false>>\ “Hey.” You speak [[brightly.|Coworker Convo 2]] <<else>>\ “Yeah.. Haha..” You speak [[solemnly.|Coworker Convo 2]] <</if>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

“uhh..” You stumble. “I must take an important call; my father has an urgent matter which needs my advice. Something along the lines of being summoned for an exorcism, could be a priest? He needs comforting words after that traumatic experience.” You fear phone calls but for a lie the fear [[vanishes.|Excuse 2]]

You take off down the corridor and fly energetically. Glancing at the grey linoleum floored corridor, covered in speckles of human blood. Dark red concrete walls are filled with photo frames of demons smiling together from past work events and important milestones for the company. Screams of humans fill your ear drums as each door passes by. Among the screams, your sharp ears hear [[something else.|Go fly around 2]]

You pull the heavy chamber door open, It shuts behind you slowly swiftly entering the torture chamber. In the centre of the wooden room lies a stretching rack where a client with messy blue hair and long T-shirt filled with holes and stains is tied at their arms and legs, ready to be [[tortured.|Enter the mysteriously noisy room 2]]

You enter the office friskily and take a seat on the comfy office chair. Laying your legs out on the white wooden desk, shuffling notes and stationery around. You take a moment to observe the spinning wheel across from the desk. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ After a quick ponder, you stand up and float towards the powerful Spinning Wheel™. Seeing new human faces upon the [[Spinning Wheel™,|Spin the wheel!]] you decide to give it a whirl to choose the next client. <</linkreplace>>\

You choose the ruby red apple. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “I see. Thank you, Eden. Please accept this ruby red apple statue from me as my gift to you both.” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Lilith hands you the ruby red apple and floats out of the torture chamber, slamming the door shut [[on her way out.|Evil love PT 1]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

You choose the Opalescent bird. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “Well, that’s interesting. Thank you, Eden. Please accept this opalescent bird statue from me as my gift to you both.” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Lilith hands you the opalescent bird statue and floats out of the torture chamber, closing the door [[gently on her way out.|Pure love PT1]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

You pull the heavy chamber door open. It shuts behind you slowly swiftly entering the torture chamber. In the centre of the empty dimly candle lit wooden room lies a stretching rack where clients are tied at their arms and legs to be tortured. Thankfully with the magical nature of hell, clients pop straight into torture devices restrained, so demons don’t learn how to tie the [[strongest knots.|Enter chamber 2]]

Paul elongates his limbs out to encompass the hallway, squaring off each corner with each of his limbs so that you can’t move past. Maybe you should [[go take a break?|Breakroom]]

“I’m awfully tired, I dealt with one of the most tiresome clients before.” You yawn as your eyelids droop. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Paul lets out a small dramatic gasp. “Oh, my bad, Sorry! I should’ve known torturing clients takes a lot out of your social battery, huh. You deserve a break! Go on, I won't let you move a single meter past my body without something to get your social battery back.” [[Move past Paul]] <</linkreplace>>\

You put on the fake customer service grin and smile through the pain. “Yes, I'm feeling exhilarated right now. Pew pew!” you finger gun at Paul, attempting to match his peppy energy. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “AAAAAGH!” Paul throws himself back, gripping his chest playing in the act of being shot by your finger gun shots. "THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!! Ready to face another client with gusto. I like your energy, Eden!” Paul winks at you, clicking his tongue and snapping his finger back to [[Eden.|Energized 2]] <</linkreplace>>\

You notice your ruby red skin with long grey hair with a middle part, small white horns peeking through, and piercing amethyst eyes. You read the nametag on your blouse.. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ [["Eden."|Look in mirror 2]] <</linkreplace>>\

You're bored. What to do, what to do... [[Talk to coworker]] [[Get back to work!|Office]]

You glare at Audrey with your hands closed together. “Well, you’re a bratty one? Answer my damn question, Audrey. What sins did you commit?” “I don’t HAVE to tell you. Why can’t you get this over with and punish me damn it?!” Audrey fights back with her sharp tongue. [[Push harder|Push harder 1]] [[Get straight to the punishment]]

“You don’t need to act high and mighty around me; you have no power here, I do. Why do you want to be punished so badly?” You ask with an intimidating tone. “I don’t have time for your intimidation tactics or whatever, get straight to the painful stretching or hacking my body parts or something!” Audrey begs. Audrey doesn’t want to share her sins yet. [[Push even harder|Push harder 2]] [[Get straight to the punishment]]

“You act tough, begging me to torture you. How will I know what you don’t like if you don’t give me any information to work with?” You won’t give up without a battle of wits. “UGH! You're all talk yet NO ACTION, GIVE ME THE PAIN I DESERVE!! I can’t believe the lack of service I'm receiving as a customer here. I WILL NOT be giving you a high rating on Yelp.” Wow, Audrey still doesn’t want to share her sins yet. [[Keep pushing harder!!|Push harder 3]] [[Get straight to the punishment]]

You fly in front of Audrey's face, only centimetres apart from hers with full eye contact. "I don’t know how you’re going to give me any kind of review post-punishment, but it's funny to see you try to cover up this little sin. I’ve been around for many centuries; I've heard plenty of chilling stories from clients shyer than you.” “Punish me, that’s all I'm here for!” [[Audrey demands.|Do you punish?]]

You continue slowly moving the wheel. “YEEEEEEEEEAH. THANK YOU, LUCIFER, FROM BELOW!!” Audrey screams in pleasure. The wheel rotates every hour of the clock, bringing new sounds of delight out of [[Audrey.|Continue punishment 2]]

“Why did you... Stop?” Audrey asks, trying to catch her breath. “You like this, what kind of human enjoys this?” You respond back confusedly. “I don’t... like to admit this... but... I like it.” Audrey responds shyly, looking away from you as her pale face flushes red like a lobster. Audrey is truly an interesting client... \ <<if $punishmentnotgiven gte 1>>\ [[Question Audrey|Start Question Audrey]] <<else>>\ [[Question Audrey|Start Question Audrey]] [[Continue punishment]] <</if>>

It’s time to treat yourself to a sweet treat! You take the chocolate bar and unwrap it, devour it whole in seconds. You feel fulfilled with the scrumptious chocolate bar. [[Back to the hallway|Hallway]] <<set $foodconsumed to 1>> <<set $fullenergy to 1>>

Feeling spicy today? You take the Ghost pepper and enjoy some heat inducing bites. That was energizing!! [[Back to the hallway|Hallway]] <<set $foodconsumed to 1>> <<set $fullenergy to 1>>

You’re on a health kick that only a raw onion can satisfy. Taking ginormous slow bites to savour each layer of the onion, skin and all. You feel satisfied with the pleasant taste of the onion. [[Back to the hallway|Hallway]] <<set $foodconsumed to 1>> <<set $fullenergy to 1>>

“Oh noooo! I’m sorry to hear!” Paul clutches his chest, distraught emotions on his face. “The last time my mother was summoned to be exorcised by a human, she had a full personality change and wanted us to eat ice cream every meal for a month straight. Brrrr, just thinking about that makes my skin crawl. Go comfort your father, he sure needs it.” Paul pats your back and frees you from social heaven. Phew, that was easy. [[Get back to work!|Office]] [[Go take a break|Breakroom]]

Just another regular human? You stare at the photo longingly, glancing at the name below. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ ''“Audrey.” '' <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Curly turquoise hair like an ocean, pink-hued pale skin, emerald eyes like a gemstone and a pierced eyebrow flushed with silver jewellery.

//3:00// <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ ''POP!'' <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ Right on cue, Audrey appears in front of you. She’s restrained and unaware of her surroundings.

<<linkreplace "//innnnnnnnn " t8n>>\ <<linkreplace "and " t8n>>\ [[ouuuuuuuut|Psychiatric deep dive]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

“I guess... I want to feel something. Like there’s nothing that feels better than whacking your toes into the corners of a table. Or banging your funny bone against the arm rest of a chair, now that one’s a personal favourite of mine.” Audrey shares in a calmer and genuine [[tone of voice.|Psychiatric deep dive 2]]

<<if $offseasonsbook is 1>>\ “By the way, what’s your name?” <<linkreplace "My name is..." t8n>>\ “Eden.” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “Oh, well I'm glad I got to finally know your name.” Audrey laughs uncontrollably, [[filling the room.|Friendship 2]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\ <<else>>\ “Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Eden if you ever feel inclined to visit me again.” “Oh, well good to know your name.” Audrey chuckles awkwardly. Well this is [[awkward.|Friend END]] <</if>>

You snap your fingers and poof Audrey back to where she came from. <<linkreplace "snap!" t8n>>\ //poof// <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ You’re happy to make an interesting new friend, finally bringing somebody to look forward to encountering again during this field of work in Hell. ''END: FRIEND'' <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

Setting your feet down to regain energy and viewing the array of choices to get your energy back up. Stepping heavily towards the fridge you open the fridge door with the remaining energy left. There are some tasty treats for the taking and unlabelled. On the top shelf sits a [[Chocolate bar][$item = "chocolate bar"]] The middle shelf has a [[Ghost pepper][$item = "ghost pepper"]] And the bottom shelf holds an [[Onion][$item = "onion"]] You're [[not hungry.|Not hungry][$item = "no food"]]

“Now then" Paul continues. “It’s time you get a move on to your next client. Heck, even treat yourself to a nice little fly around, that always gets my body revved up for the next client! Who knows what you’ll discover on a quick fly around.” You respond less enthused. “Sure, heh heh.. Great chat. Byeeee." [[Go fly around]]

“Huh, where am I? I was in the middle of a great dream! Wait, am I tied up?” You wait a few seconds and don’t hear a demon in the room with the client. [[Enter the mysteriously noisy room]]

“Oh, hey! I’m happy a sophisticated looking demon like you answered my plea! I’m Audery by the way. Pleasure to be tortured by you!” Audrey grins widely. You’re held aback by the client’s enthusiasm for torture. This is... weird. [[Banish the client?|BanishEND]] [[Get straight to the punishment]]

//3:00, 6:00, 9:00.// <<linkreplace "..." t8n>>\ It gets close to the 12:00 mark. Audrey feels exhilarated from every stretch. Her limbs are stretched out with red stretch marks across her skin, blue and red bruising around the cuffed joint. You wonder, this feels like a reward than a punishment to Audrey...

You read the labelled room assigned with Audrey. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ ''“Medieval chamber.”'' <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ You thought the rack was an archaic way to torture clients, but you’ve been assigned to the medieval torture chamber [[today.|Fly to chamber]] <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

You stare at the watch on your wrist. 2:59... Sighing in relief, only one more minute until the client arrives. You slap your cheeks multiple times, ready to play the role of an intimidating demon... //Tick Tock... Tick [[Tock...|Audrey appears]]//

Audrey’s widened eyes peeks at her surroundings, Audrey takes quick breaths and upon exhaling, cold fog appears in front of her. Audrey notices an aristocratic looking demon in the room, you... [[Do you greet her?|Demon has a job to do]] [[Or maybe she's not worth punishing?|BanishEND]]

You cough. “What are you in for today? Murdering your parents, pets... Oh, maybe a hit and run involving children? We have plenty of time to discuss your sins.” “I thought I'd be punished without the psychiatric deep dive. Isn’t that crueller?” Audrey cheekily replies. If there’s one thing hell should’ve implemented, it’s to cover the client’s mouth from speaking. [[Stern]] [[Chill]]

“I see...” You hum and jot notes down quickly. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “Thanks for sharing, Audrey.” Flicking your hair back from your face. “I think there's more to life than just feeling sensations, Audrey. Your brain is filled with complex thoughts that kinaesthetic sensations cannot satisfy.

“Wow, that’s so you, the kind that loves gory horror novels. I also enjoy reading books, one of my favourites is Good Omens. Maybe too comedic for your taste, but the story is intriguing.” You and Audrey surprisingly have bonded over the love of books. [[Question Audrey]] <<set $question3asked to true>> <<set $question to $question + 1>> <<set $offseasonsbook to 1>>

“Thank you for today’s session. I hope your punishment taught you a good lesson about your sinful actions and how you too can suffer consequences. Don’t come back expecting me to go easy on you.” Eden winks at Audrey, clicking their mouth. “Thanks for the good chat. I think that’s what I needed the most honestly, somebody who gets me not only for my passion of torture, but relatable too.” Audrey smiles and chuckles, then [[continues.|Friendship]]

A floating naked woman with copper red hair and glowing hazel eyes floats in front of you and Audrey. <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “I am Lilith. I see you’ve found your first true love Eden. Well done! After centuries with a lack of sweet romance, you’ve found somebody to call your own who you want to spend eternity with, am I correct?” “Well, yes.” <<linkreplace "Continue" t8n>>\ “Good, I have a gift for you. You can choose between the [[ruby apple shaped statue|Ruby Apple]], or an [[opalescent singing bird statue.|Opal bird]] Pick wisely, Eden.” You’re thoughtful about which gift to accept. <</linkreplace>>\ <</linkreplace>>\

“So... How was your weekend? Do any epic thrill-seeking activities?” You despise small talk and ARE NOT in the mood for it now. <<if $fullenergy is 1 and $tired is false>>\ [[Make an excuse, you have work to do!|Excuse]] [[I'm energized!!!|Energized]] <<else>>\ [[I’m tired...|Tired]] <</if>>

Your choice of clothes today mean’s intimidating business. A black velvet cloak with gold lining featuring a gold and purple brooch that holds the cloak together. A black chiffon blouse with a white ruffle cravat. On top lies a golden vest with black embroidery that hugs the body. Tight black pants with a leather strap and gold buckle around the thigh with black ankle-high boots with thick short heels. You [[finish|Food in Breakroom]] checking yourself out in the mirror.

“Oh, I'm sorry to hear. I can relate to your lacklustre romance experience. I haven’t been able to feel attached towards anybody romantically, no matter how hard they throw themselves at me.” You sympathise with Audrey and pet her head. You rarely feel sympathy towards a client, this conversation hits a little too close to home. [[Question Audrey]] <<set $question2asked to true>> <<set $question to $question + 1>>

Audrey is still restrained on the rack, gazing at you whilst chuckling to herself. You must come to terms with your feelings! [[Is it love?]] [[Or maybe friendship?|Doesn't find true love]]

You’re feeling brave, these new feelings are a lot to keep inside. [[Confess to Audrey?!]] [[No! Don’t confess!!]]

“Let’s catch up later, Eden! I’ll be sure to do something shady to bring myself back down here.” “Of course, make it grotesque, try something from that book, Off Seasons next time.” You smile back, finger gunning at Audrey. Audrey finger guns [[back!|Friend END]]

You fly away from Audrey and glare at her. This client is being awfully difficult. [[Banish the client?|BanishEND]] [[Get straight to the punishment]]

If the client likes to be punished, the ultimate form of punishment is to not give them what they want. You decide to ask Audrey some simple questions. She’ll stop feeling rewarded, but instead become bored by small talk, [[it's crazy enough to work!|Question Audrey]]

<<if $foodconsumed is 1>>\ You gasp, coughing and instantly returning to the intimidating demon persona. “Oh wow, that happens to be my favourite snack for nourishment too.

“Thank you so much, Audrey. I’m elated you feel the same as me. Also, my name is Eden. Might be important to know while we’re dating.” You chuckle heavily. “Haha, that’s fine, Eden. I love you.” [[“I love you too. Audrey”|Lilith enters]]

You quit your job in hell and delved into a depressive spiral. Trying to feed your senses the same way Audrey use to. You travel to Earth often to find sinful humans to feel the same feelings you felt with Audrey, but you didn’t feel connected with them.
