The demon scam

You continue on, as if in a daze... your pain grows with every step you take, but you just HAVE to find Merle, and that now!"

You keep walking for a long while, not knowing where you are anymore. Not that you knew that to begin with, but whatever...

Suddenly, you hear a familiar vioce singing happily up ahead. Merle!? Feeling dizzy with relief, you run towards the sound to find her sitting on the ground, playing with small blue rocks.
