The demon scam

A little shaky, you reach out to Merle. "Let's go down, okay? I'll give you a cookie."

Merle smiles happily, having no trouble with hights, apparently. "Yay!" She clings to your neck, expecting you to carry her down.

You're on the verge to fall by this sudden weight, but you just manage to hold on, and slowly climb back down with her.

Safely on the ground, you can finally breathe again.
