[DON'T IGNORE HIS SQUINT!!! HE'S GONNA CIRCLE BACK TO YOU!!!! unfortunately he's also cursed by his bookman jr tendencies to always talk about Lore even though i want to explode him,
it's rare to hear someone think this -- about how the Exorcist must feel, and not about the myriad of other things, like how they're chosen by God to help save the world, or how they're near divine for the responsibilities they carry. it reminds Lavi that it really has been a while since he's met someone not affiliated with the Order, and now here he is with a whole town full.]
