You and your family recently moved into a new apartment building. That's where you met Larry, who lived there with his mom, and on the very first day you became almost best friends.
A couple of days later, Larry told you a secret.. Once, as a child, he accidentally launched a firecracker into a neighbor's window.. In the elevator, he saw a blurry black demon.. The next day, his father disappeared.. He thought the demon had cursed him...
You believed it because you had encountered supernatural beings before, and when you examined the building, it became clear that the demon had been here for a long time, which means that Larry was not cursed.
"The demon didn't curse me in any way.. That means my father.. He's just.. ..."
Larry starts crying with realization.. You hugged him..
