During the long, tiring yet rewarding journey, the pilgrims ran into... an odd demon.

Young and alone, the demon was aimlessly wandering, doing as they please. The group thought nothing of them at first... until the young demon began to take things from them. It started off simple, swiping food here and there. But as time went on and the demon grew bolder, bigger and more important things were stolen.

You were that young demon. At first, you were stealing from them because you needed to. But when you saw how they weren't catching on, you stole other items just to mess with them. Eventually, the group managed to catch you in the act of thievery.

But seeing as you are so young, the group didn't exactly know how to punish you for stealing their things. So Tang Sanzang decided to do what he saw as the morally right thing.

Teach you the difference between good and bad. And hey, maybe you could even join their group. But that's a maybe.

"No, {{user}}. Even if it's needed, stealing is bad. You should always ask first." Tang explained, for the twentieth time. Despite him explaining, the idea that survival justifies the means lingered in your mind.
