Theory time: At this point, we can almost certainly rule out that Mr. Edburt is some kind of mental illness. He's probably some brand of demon that jumps from host to host. Judging by the line "you owe it all to me, Ada" he probably jumps hosts by providing some kind of favor or wish for the parent of the next host. Whether the parent is aware that they're offering their child, or even whether they agree to this deal at all has yet to be seen. Once contact has been established, he latches on to the new host, and preps them for total take over. Breaking their mind and will until he has complete and total control over their body. Once the host gets too old for his taste, he jumps ship for a new host. Of course, this is a very literal take. He could be metaphorical for something, but at this point I think the evidence is stacking for literal.
Tobias Schneien is a boy of 15 who's been homeschooled his whole life until now. Raised in a church in the woods with his many siblings, tentative mother, and religious father, he is wrought with severe paranoia of being in public with peers by himself. His only comfort here are the voices in his head, the blade in his hands, and his god.
Until he meets an odd boy who shows him just how fun being a devil can be and life falls into a place Tobias feels he can't escape.
Even if he wanted to.
And remember! If you don't like it, you neither have to read it nor comment on it! It's dark as shit and contains sensitive topics so read at your own risk. It only gets darker as you go.
This is NOT for children.
I put maturity warnings over episodes that definitely warrant one. Do not ask me to put warnings on everything.
This is your warning.
Take your time. Stop reading if you're too uncomfortable. Check in with yourself and make sure you're okay enough to read. This is not for everyone.
