Oh. Thanks. [He's had people tell him that recently, but at the same time it's nice to hear.] But you're right. Monika was the first of many that're going to be hard to ignore when pleading for their life. We need people who are going to stay calm and be a voice of reason when people don't want to believe what's right in front of them.
Probably. I know I probably made some people mad, too, for not caring about Monika's feelings but that thing wasn't Monika. [But...fine.] Then at least act as backup for the more difficult ones.
So it seems. [But he seems content with that answer.] We still have a while before anything happens this week, so I'm going to see what I can learn about the demons and keep my tabs on some people.
[But. Oh.] Something you might be interested in knowing, it's possible that the demon's not be contagious and can't shift hosts after it's confined to the panthouse. Which...seems obvious, but we had it confirmed anyway.
[A shrug.] A girl I trust to take care of herself. She wanted to see what kind of information she could get out of the demon with whatever it took, but when she came to see me afterwards she confirmed she was fine and nothing was passed off. There's still the off-chance that it was passed to someone else before her, but I doubt it. We would've heard by now.
[Who else would want to willingly sleep with a demon?] Polly told me as long as the barrier around it doesn't break, the demon can't leave the circle. It's not so much about getting better, it's about getting faster.
Yeah. All we can do is try to make it a little easier later. [But he shakes his head.]
I'll keep an eye out for anything that seems suspicious and let you know. And if I hear anything about being able to volunteer for the exorcism, you'll be the first to know. Same goes for you?

Why me? There're people that can command a room a lot better than I can, and also I kinda meant you.
[Keep your braincell, Jan.]

I'll do what I can, but you've probably earned people's respect after last trial.

[he blinks.]
That's good. We still have to get better at exorcisms, but that's one less things to worry about.

It'd be best to leave it to someone who can both fight and won't hesitate to strike down someone with a friend's face.

There are some people who wouldn't take it well at all if they had to do it.
