He stole a body. So SUE him, okay? It wasn’t like the kid was going to live those three seconds meaningfully. He was dead, from the minute he stepped in front of that truck. Only, he… wasn’t. Quite. Not when his body was possessed… His soul vacated the building, but… um, nobody noticed.

Showing people where they went wrong — so they could whine and cry — when there was a chance to see what existence was like? Oh, he so went with the column marked ‘Existence.’ Who wouldn’t? And anyway, what are they going to do since he took an unauthorized vacation? Send him to Hell?
Oh — and don’t call him a demon. He prefers the term Fallen Angel.
