Kyle looked with worry at the Karmic Line leading to Manny.
'What the hell is going on? Something must have happened, but I don't know what,' he thought. 'The intensity of negative Karmic Luck means that Manny is most likely suffering because of me, but that doesn't explain the black.'
'Black means he hates me, but why? Even if something happened to him, I wouldn't expect that he would hate me with such intensity. He did all of this voluntarily.'
Kyle took a shaky breath. Even though there were some things he didn't understand, the change in the Karmic Line still represented an undeniable truth.
'The Demons got him, but he's also still alive. In that case, there can only be one explanation.'
'They are interrogating him. They want to know what happened.'
