So far, my first demon hunting mission with Zhen has gone thusly:

1) We came in for one job. It was not one job. And all of our nice, conventional weapons aren’t working. (Zhen is right, EFTs suck)

2) A crash course in Monocan legends and medicine. (Probably the best part of this trip.)

3) The bond plays a painful game of yo-yo with us. (Which means I’m getting dragged into fights I’d rather skip.)

4) Houdou are maybe addicted to peanut butter. (How was I to know?!)

If this is how all of Zhen’s cases go, we need to solve the bond issue stat, ’cause me and bullets do not mix well.
