### Plot Sypnosis

**WARNING: SPOILERS!**

A short time after the events of book one, Blake is making Nisu empanadas in the kitchen.

Their snack is cut short by Erica coming downstairs, completely drunk. Blake manages to distract her from finding Nisu and convinces her to go back upstairs.

Blake offers to hide Nisu in the house if he dosent have anywhere else to go, to which he accepts.

Nisu begins to worry about Yujin back home, and Yujin is grieving his brothers absence, another family member of his lost.

Otosan tells him to stop crying and that a real king dosent express their feelings, as it makes them weak.

The next day, Blake gets ready for school, while Nisu stares at him in awe. The two leave the house and walk to Blake’s school. Nisu leaves Blake to himself, and he goes inside.

Back in the demon world, Yujin is telling Jokku what happened to Nisu.

Yujin says he dosent care about him, and is immediately criticized by Jokku, who tells him that Nisu is the only family he has left besides Otosan. Then, Yujin and Jokku destroy an entire human villiage, and Gankyu, an odd, one eyed demon congratulates them, keeping a strange focus on Yujin.

Back in the human world, Blake is walking through the school halls and gets pushed in the halls by Max.

After school, Blake leaves and is greeted by Nisu. The two walk home together and a time portal opens. It is the work of the killer Otosan sent after Nisu, finally tracking him down to this timeline.

Returning home, Blake asks Nisu what his dimension was like.

Nisu tells Blake everything, and he even talks about his mother. He tells Blake that she was found dead in a human’s home, presumably killed by them. Blake empathizes with Nisu, and the two connect.

In the demon world, Kanari tries to keep Yujin from leaving the castle, and he dosent listen to her.

Gankyu appears and tells Yujin that Nisu will end up dead, and that he better stay in line or else he’ll die too. Before Yujin can respond, Gankyu evaporates.

That night in the human world, Blake goes to a convience store, and takes Nisu with him.

The killer quickly tracks them down and follows them.

Inside the store, she reveals herself as Roketa, saying she is a “purifier” meant to cleanse timelines of demons. Nisu runs away with Blake in his arms, protecting him.

Roketa manages to shoot Nisu down in the forest and the two fight. She manages to get the upper hand in the battle, striking Nisu with her sword. However, Blake throws a rock at her, distracting her and giving Nisu an opening.

Seeing Blake in danger activates his heart, making it glow a bright pink, and making his horns grow.

Nisu attacks Roketa again, defeating her.

Roketa isn’t finished however, and swears to return and kill Nisu. Saddened by finding out his father wants him dead, Nisu cries and empathizes with Blake, asking if his pain feels the same way.

The two return home, only to find Erica and John waiting for them, catching them and exposing Nisu.
