"The leaves of memory seemed to make a mournful rustling in the dark."
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
After the most recent near-loss of Io to a cloaked man, and I refused to allow him to have her I begin to wonder what will happen when Io's mind returns. I promised vier'nahkt, via this stranger who stumbled into my office, that I would give him Io on Sunday, at the Ceremony to Unite Lysidious and myself.
My concern is that when Io's mind returns, as I desperately hope it does before Sunday, she will not remember any of this that has happened. I fear she will forget the days and night spent in her room here, and I am forced to wonder if she truely realizes I'm a demon. I am always in demon form around her. But when she returns to her former state, will she be as impatient toward me as she was before. And will she, like Ezekiel, and like God, dislike me because of what I am.
I can only hope that when her mind returns, Ezekiel is in good humor.
