The captain of the Guard Corps' Seventh Squad sat in the Magic Cinema, feeling a little uneasy.
Being invited by a Devil to watch a Shadow of Evil starring a Devil sounded just like the first step in a story where some unlucky character gets their soul tricked away.
'I wonder if they've called for reinforcements outside.'
'If something really does go wrong, I hope the Commander can handle it.'
He fiddled with the Shadow Demon Ticket in his hand.
Because people enjoyed collecting used Shadow Demon Tickets as souvenirs, for about two years now the front of the tickets had been printed with poster art or specially designed character illustrations.
And the poster art on this ticket looked very strange.
It was a headshot of a woman, showing only her facial features, with the outline of her head blurred.
From her eyes and brow, he could roughly tell it was Lady Starling.
But her mouth was covered by a moth.
