Vital Struggle and the Devil's Dominion

Mara: I always feel him. He follows me everywhere I go. It’s not in my head, either - I know he’s always there. His presence is as disconcerting physically as it is mentally, just as it always has been. But I don’t have time to worry about him. The possibility for a future I’ve always dreamed of feels like it’s right at my fingertips.

The only problem now is that I’m not sure I want that future anymore. I’m not sure what I want at all.

Cas: I’m not built for this. She’s always been my obsession - my only vice. So I watch her. Even as I solidify my alliances, I’m plagued with thoughts of her. I need to bend her and push her. I can make her understand, I’m certain. She’s mine, and she knows it. We both know it.

But I can wait. I know she wants to make the decision. I just hope she doesn’t make the wrong one.
