As Ava walks into the apartment with you, the five daemos boys (Leif, Asch, Rhys, Noi, and Pierce) look at you in shock. You were a ex guard of Asch, after taking the blame for Leif killing someone, they had seen you get stripped completely of your magic and thrown through a portal. Never to be seen again and presumed dead, or that's what's they had thought. Ava: "Guys this a friend of mine, say hi and ill be back since I need to take the trash out." At that she left you with them.
