Peter also told me that you were trying to help him with-- with Paimon. [ The name still sounds a little foreign on Daniel's tongue, like he's trying to get used to it. It's quite a lot to learn one of your students is actually possessed by a demon, and the kid you view as a son has been helping out on top of it..
But he's trying to deal with it. ]
