“And yet, I have zero fucks to give.” Eulalie shook her head. “I’m here for the demon, and I’m not about to let anybody stop me.”

“That’s just it. We don’t want to stop you. But right now, we’re in over our heads, don’t you understand?” Dana put a comforting hand on Eulalie’s knee. “We don’t know enough about this Curator guy.”

“Where is he now?”

Tasia cleared her throat, which got everyone’s attention. “I’m sorry, but back up a moment. You said the demon killed your sister.”

Eulalie wiggled her hand back and forth, palm toward the floor. “Ish. It’s a long story, but that’s the gist of it.”

“Are there more of you?”

Eulalie frowned. “Rude, but fair. No. To my knowledge, I’m the only Arachne walking around on all eights.”
