Aqua and Wiz grabbed Vanir’s shoulders from either side, while Darkness, the daughter of the man cursed in this recent incident, stood implacably before him.
“Hold, knaves! Do you mean to imply that one of my revered station would say or do anything that would cause you to confuse me with a broken demon like that? Very well, let us discuss!

But I implore you to listen—in particular, the girl standing squarely before me, who, thanks to recent events, was made blindingly aware of her feelings for this young man and whose at-home dress has consequently become skimpier than ever bef—”
“Waaaaaaahhhhh! I take revenge for my fatherrrr!”
“H-hey, my mask! Don’t you try to destroy my mask! And your father isn’t even dead!”
Darkness had launched herself at Vanir, who was still restrained by Wiz and Aqua, and very nearly succeeded in smashing his mask to pieces.
