Ava's Possessions Page #2

for you, then...

The therapy continues.

There's also a lot of homework.

You're gonna have some pretty

uncomfortable conversations

with your family

and your friends.

Yeah, I think

I already stumbled into those.

You need to look for clues,

piece together lost memories.

What is all this stuff?

Old cases... files on everyone,

even before I worked here.

Dates back to 1982, I think.

This is your priest report on

your uninvited spiritual guest.

People you hurt or injured

while you were possessed.

You're gonna need to make

amends with them.

Does it say why it chose me?

No, it doesn't.

The goal is not

to determine why.

Is it possible, my demon...

We don't use the "d" word here.

Did you even look at the manual?

I'm sorry. Yeah,

I flipped through it.

Is it possible it's my fault?

Well, it could be random,

or karmic,

or induced by a third party.

But more important

than placing blame

is preventing it

from happening again.

I've been seeing...

Crazy visions.

Like waking nightmares.

That's the spirit.

It's trying to come back.

"Naphula is a

six-foot-one-inch tall succubus,"

"a feline hybrid

of a dragon, bird and goat."

"He is depicted carrying a drum.

The sound of the drums

signals his approach."

That's her.

Hi.

I know who you are.

Demon! No.

Be gone! Go away!

I'm better now! Be gone!

I-I'm... I'm

happy to take the time,

just keep your distance.

The cops brought you in

for a psych evaluation.

They said

they wanted you sedated.

You'd been jumping over cars

causing accidents.

But when I went to administer

the benzodiazepine,

you broke though the cuffs

on the stretcher,

and you chewed

right through my finger.

Specifically?

You shoved your tongue

down my throat

and smashed my head

into the ATM three times.

I'm sorry.

Did I...

Say anything?

Yeah, you did actually.

" Ad miseriam esurio ."

Over and over.

I looked it up

because it was ringing

through my head for days,

driving me crazy.

It's Latin.

It means "for your misery,

I hunger."

Hey Carl, it's me...

Again.

Uh, I guess you're upset at me.

I am so, so sorry...

Hello.

Hey. Hi.

You're there.

Yeah.

Look, please stop calling me.

Wait Carl, I'm better now.

Can we please just meet

and talk about this?

No. I don't,

I don't want to see you anymore.

Look, we broke up.

But...

I-I get that you

don't remember, but it's over.

Ava, honestly, forget about him.

If a demon isn't an excuse

for a little indiscretion,

I don't know what is.

Ooh.

"Say goodbye to split ends."

What if my possession

wasn't an excuse, though.

What if it's bad Karma,

like mom said.

Mom has her own issues.

They have nothing to do

with you.

She just thinks they do.
