Caption: Several days later...
Cassie Cruz, sitting at her desk with a red mug:
“I... I think the gang has warmed up to me.”

“It must be nice to enjoy coffee that hasn’t been possessed by a demon.”

Panel 2:
Cassie, smiling and looking at her coffee:
“I dunno... I kinda miss seeing dirty words spelled out in the foam.”

Jeremy, surprised:
“Have the assassination attempts stopped?”
Cassie: “I think so.”
Jeremy: “You think so??”
