Panel 1: Wide shot of a modern two-story house from the sidewalk. It’s a quiet neighborhood, with vines climbing up the side of the house. Wind blows leaves past, scattering them along the street.
SFX: whooosh
Panel 2: KJ crouches in his basement, gripping an old dusty book. The leather cover is cracked with age, and a bright purple gem glints on the front. Around him, he’s arranged candles in a careful circle, their flames casting dancing shadows on the concrete walls.
KJ:
“This is so stupid, can’t believe I let Dylan and Jorden convince me into doing this.”
Panel 3: KJ pulls out his phone. He currently has a page pulled up with text that reads: "🔥🔥🔥 REAL demon summoning incantation (NOT CLICKBAIT) 🔥🔥🔥
This ANCIENT incantation will summon AN ACTUAL DEMON!!! This one specifically summons the THIRD STRONGEST demon in ALL of hell!!!
⚠️ WARNING: EXTREMELY POWERFUL ⚠️ BUT for it to ACTUALLY work, you NEED the AUTHENTIC grimoire I'm selling (ONLY 3 LEFT IN STOCK!!!) Link in bio 👇👇👇
P.S. - I'm not responsible for what happens after you summon them lol 😈"
Panel 4: Close-up shot on KJ’s face with a half-annoyed, half-skeptical expression, eyes still glued to his phone.
KJ (Thought bubble): “This is obviously a scam. Dylan probably bought this grimoire thinking it was real and tried it himself. But since it didn’t work on him, now he wants me to try it and waste MY time.”
Panel 5: KJ stood up, slipping his phone into his pocket while gripping the book with his other hand. The candles cast flickering shadows across the basement walls.

Panel 8: Full shot. The figure steps completely into the basement. She's tall—around 5'9"—with curves that command attention. Her skin has a subtle crimson undertone that seems to pulse with life. Small horns curl elegantly from her temples.

Panel 5: Wide shot of KJ standing up in front of the couch, Lilixia laying on it.
KJ: “Wait, I need to send you back. My parents will be home in an hour, and I can’t have a demon hanging out in the basement!”
Lilixia: “Send me back?”
Text bubble 2: “But I just got here! And Hell is sooooo boring right now. Nothing but paperwork and soul processing.”
Text bubble 3: “Do you know how many souls need to be cataloged each day? Like, millions. Even billions!”
Panel 6: Wide shot of Lilixia bouncing up from her seat with motion trails following before stopping in front of KJ.
Lilixia: “Let me stay! Just for a little bit? Pretty please? I promise I’ll be good! Well, good-ish. I am a demon, after all.”
