It's a small consolation to himself, but he had to try, he couldn't let himself believe that this is it, that someone like Katie could be that far gone, that these things, these Entities, the magic of this world could twist people's souls like that.

Luka snaps his hand back immediately when her claws rip through them, tearing through skin and muscle, a cry of pain escaping him as he clutches it close to his chest to stop the bleeding.
