Mia did a dumb

David and Mia are so human. At the important moments making the wrong decisions. In chapter 1 David complained that the stairway to heaven could use an elevator, the Spires could use one too, what were God and Lucifer thinking? They are just as bad creators as computer programmers.

lol i mean, you're right. But elevators didn't exist back then!

Don't apologize. That was an excellent chapter.

Oh fucking hell!! I kept swiping to the next page, just to realize there wasn’t another. Amazing setup and fun progression on both fronts.

"For two fucking hours." Woof. This is one of those lines that really resounded in my head. Maybe because of the placement of the line by itself, or the weight of two hours of torture, or a combo of that, but I really heard David in that line. I've been digging the decision to highlight the differences between humans and demons—I'm betting that we'll eventually get to a place where we understand somewhat well demon psychology through Mia's narrative, but it's fun to see the conflict explored in David's story. Fun in a different way than the admittedly titillating question of "does this demon want to eat me or fuck me or both?" I just think that the opportunity to explore morality in Hell is so damn cool. Excited to see how the story continues to explore these themes. I was not a fan of David's initial rebuttal to Belial. It came off as very juvenile, which I know was the intent (especially since he thinks, "Maybe it was the teenager in him acting up, but there was something deeply satisfying about telling off someone much older than him."), but it is a little wearisome to see the back-talking go unpunished. Sort of disappointing that these billions-year old creatures can't do anything but screech about domination and immediately get trounced. I did really like Azazel's dialogue immediately afterwards. It felt incredibly fitting, that Azazel instantly took the measure of David and is confident that he'll come crawling back for help. The American-ism of "The hand crashed into the wall a couple football fields below..." gave me a good chuckle. If scrying pools are as focused on the U.S. as television or cinema are, some demons might even know how big a football field is :P Belial is definitely a Jaguars fan, right? I lol'd at the image of a massive brute running after little Domnius. What an electric ending to the chapter. A fifty-kilometer ravine? Holy shit. Scratch that, hellish shit. So funny that Mia was blasé about it: "Tunnels are too hard. I told you. This was easier."
