Wait. What was that about "already being a demon before?"

"That's not everything, I want to know. You said it didn't matter if I fused with a demon because I was already a demon." Pointing this out to him, just results in him giving you an annoyed look.

"Ughhh....Yeah. Duh. I mean....if you're a Fiend to being with, it shouldn't matter if you fuse with another monster. You're still a demon anyways. Not like if I did it. Humans can't fuse with demons. Not...not...by normal rules anyway."

"But I....how would I be a demon and not even know?" Keito responds with a shrug. "I dunno. Maybe it just wasn't manifesting yet or something. I'm not really an expert on these things. But..demons can't just come from anywhere, right? So, you probably were born as one." It does make you feel like that when you get home, you will have just as many questions for mom and dad as they will for you. It does seem like the most likely answer that you would have had to be one since birth.

On the plus side, Fiends are one of the most powerful races. Although...most of them are basically talking skeletons." He takes a look at your face as if half expecting to see your skull. "Yeah...see? THAT'S weird. I don't get why you aren't like the rest."

"So I didn't even know I was one, but you did?" That seems like an important question here. Because while apparently you used to look just like everyone else, he somehow realized this. From the look on his face, he knew this for a while too. "Oh, it wasn't that long ago before I realized what you were. But...I did know that before I had the app. Like....not that long. Just....since....I want to say...the first year of high school?"

"And you weren't ever going to bring this up? Ever?" Keito holds his expression that this should all be obvious. "Because I thought you would have already knew that? Durr." Again, he treats it as no big deal. "Why did you know that if you didn't even have the app yet?" As soon as you ask it, he rolls his eyes. "Oh, my gooood. All the questions take way too long to explain. You have forever to live, but I don't. Squishy humans die by old age and I will at this rate."

"Ice Golem?" But also human?" Asking the question causes him to look away from you and half mumble. "Yeah...that's..." Clearly, he still plans on keeping some things to some himself.

What reasons he could have to lie are difficult to say, but you also can't be sure that instead of actually telling you everything he knows, he's just telling you what you want to know. His eyes hone back to you. "So again. We don't have all day. Are you in or out?"
