"Wow," the fairy exclaid, her voice laced with a hint of amusent and disbelief, "You know, you could have shown the sa enthusiasm when Nana spilled her guts out to you."
Ty responded with a slight chuckle, reflecting on the mont. "I an, I was just a skeleton back then. I really don’t see what she saw in to begin with. Plus, I need to know soone for more than just a little bit before I can commit to spilling my guts out to them... That’s not to say I don’t appreciate her and cherish her company every second I have it.
It’s just a different version of what being with Jade is, if that makes sense."
The fairy nodded, understanding yet still finding the situation sowhat regrettable. "A bit, but it still seems a bit harsh to shut soone down like that."
Ty sighed before laying his head back, looking forward to so rest. "But at least I get so sleep finally. I hope she’s doing well. I’m sure she’s resting up right now, not doing anything crazy or dangerous."

The blue fairy couldn’t help but chuckle at Ty’s hopeful assumption, prompting Ty to break out in laughter as well when the fairy added, "Knowing her, she’s probably punching sothing in the face right now, trying to find a way to impress you."
Ty, after wiping a tear from his cheek, mused about Todd’s current predicant, "And Todd’s having to clean up whatever ss she’s tied up into right about now, probably. We really have to find out what Erebos’s plot here is, though..." His tone shifted towards a more serious note as he gazed into the darkness.
The fairy, her glow softly illuminating the cell, suggested, "Well, let’s start with what we do know, and maybe we can piece together so options of what’s happening." This was punctuated by the sound of snoring that began to fill the cell, drawing Ty’s attention to the old man, now fully passed out on the other side of the cell.
Taking a deep breath, Ty began to unpack his thoughts, "Well, first off, the whole reason I am here, from Erebos’s words himself if I rember right, is that I was progressing too slowly. Though, that doesn’t make sense the more I think about it."
The fairy, puzzled by this revelation, inquired, "And why is that?"
Ty finished wiping a tear from his cheek, contemplating the chaos Nana might be embroiled in, with Todd likely attempting to untangle the web of troubles she found herself in. "We really have to figure out what Erebos’s plot here is," Ty said, his tone shifting to one of seriousness as he stared into the enveloping darkness.
The fairy, casting a gentle glow within the cell, suggested, "Let’s start with what we do know, and maybe we can piece together so understanding of what’s happening." In the background, the sound of snoring began to crescendo, indicating the old man on the other side of the cell had succumbed to sleep.
Taking a deep breath, Ty began, "Well, first off, the whole reason I’m here, according to Erebos himself, is that I was progressing too slowly. Though, the more I think about it, that doesn’t make any sense."
"And why is that?" the fairy inquired, her confusion apparent.
"It doesn’t make any sense because all of this was supposed to be so accident to begin with... The whole incident that led to beco a skeleton and set on this long path happened because I decided to take a shortcut through the park at night to get ho early," Ty explained, unraveling the bizarre circumstances of his fate.
"Then, he ended up killing and taking to see the Demon King as part of so trade for fetching damned souls or sothing. But during my entire ti with the Demon King, I never saw him engaging in anything like that."
The fairy, rubbing the top of her head, agreed, "Yeah, that does sound very confusing the more you explain it!"
Ty continued, burdened by the weight of unresolved questions, "It’s been on my mind for a while, but what was Erebos trading for to begin with, and why am I such a big deal to him? Sure, maybe I have this rare soul, but out of the billions of lives that exist, why focus so intently on ?"
"I’m just struggling to put it all together, Fairy,"
"Yeah," the fairy responded, her voice tinged with sadness, "I do too. It’s weird you have skin now, also. I still don’t understand that at all..."
Ty chuckled lightly, a hint of insight in his tone. "I think I’ve almost figured that out, especially after seeing the picture book JJ got for ."
"Oh?" the fairy perked up, intrigued by the potential explanation.
"Yeah, it’s only a guess, of course, but my guess is that back when the Demon King first tried to give a body, it kept burning away. He eventually had to give a dead body that had good regeneration, and even then, the body was still decaying," Ty detailed, piecing together the events that led to his current form.
The fairy nodded, attempting to grasp the complexity of the situation.
Ty continued, deepening the narrative, "Well, as that was happening, Erebos showed up, worried and full of complaints about this and that, probably in regards to whatever creature I have inside of for whatever reason. He wanted to be disconnected from it, in a sense, and then brought here."
He concluded with a significant revelation, "I believe I have family ties dating back to whatever planet this is... and this is probably the last of the Demon Clan to be alive, maybe he died 50 years ago or so. But once I took over its body, the skin and flesh ca back."
"But since my soul or however far I am in my linage isn’t fully from the Demon Clan, which would explain why while I was able to use the black flas, it was beyond difficult, and with them off, it felt well natural, and when I was in that skeleton form it wasn’t to say the least and I struggled.
