[ The behaviour does come across as animalistic to Ange. The teeth, the hissing, the 'won't.' It's like an angry cat that's been driven into a corner. At least Ange can read that much from Paimon's body language.

But then it still just doesn't make sense. What drove him to act this way? Ange tries to think of the effects she's seen on other people this month, but she can't recall anyone acting to her the way Paimon is doing just now. Is something influencing him specifically because he's a demon? Did something happen to Peter that caused this shift in Paimon as well?

It feels like she's only going in circles in her head as she's trying to figure this out, but Ange is sure of one thing.

She can't let the demon stick around here like this. What if someone less experienced with demons approaches Paimon? Ange can only imagine how badly that might end under these circumstances. ]

I can't leave you here like this.

[ Her own body language is the complete opposite of his own. Ange is so calm that it almost seems scary when it's in the face of a bristling demon, a clear danger. Her tone is even, but firm, standing her ground.

And as long as the demon is looking at her, Ange doesn't break eye contact. Not even for a moment.

Playing the witch? Ange isn't so sure if she's very good at that. But she can at least pull this off - this brave, dumbass confidence in the face of danger. She's done it so many times. ]

But I don't want to hurt you either. So at least come with me voluntarily, so we can find out what's wrong with you. What's getting to you. [ Even though Ange is pretty sure they're going to have to do this the hard way. But she at least wants to extend this offer, even with how unlikely it seems that it'll actually be accepted. She doesn't want to hurt Paimon, nor Peter, who was so relatively kind to her at the party. ]
