There was some sort of strange emotion emanating off of the Apologetic Assassin, and that emotion was distress.

Apparently, Akuma sensed that emotion. It grinned. "Not so invulnerable as you try to make yourself out to be, Little Assassin."

"...Shut up," the A.A. growled, their fingers clenching and unclenching, but the words had apparently hit their mark, since the demon had that kind of feeling to it--it was supposed to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and in general, amplify anyone's negative emotions. Apparently, it was no different for even a normally calloused assassin. That calloused assassin was also, in fact, a bit more visible than they likely wanted to be. Their outline was there, even if it was entirely night by now.

The demon did not shut up, which was predictable, if you think about it. "Haven't you heard stories about making deals with the devil?" it taunted, hammering away at the shatterpoint the A.A. let show. "Selling souls? Being possessed? 'Loved ones' dying?"
