Philosophy classroom: Monday office hours, 10am-2pm

Tara sits at her desk, ostensibly grading but scarcely able to focus on anything. The footsteps in the hall were driving her insane, so the door is closed, but a note sticky taped to the door reads "Open for Office Hours. Please knock."

"Um, he's a demon. He tempts people. With their own emotions. So I guess either he didn't want to tempt you, or, um, your emotions weren't... the right sort?" She sighs. "I don't know, CJ. I'm sorry."

Like a Heaven and Hell kind of demon? Or some other kind...like what we have running around the school? [She begins to put this together in her head] Mr. Phale and I talk about God a lot...if Crowley is a demon, then is Mr. Phale one too? He seems so kind...

[Shaking her head, to clear her thoughts] If he's a Hell kind of demon, that's easy. I'm already damned. Nothing he can do.

"No, no, Mr. Phale isn't a demon. He's, um, the other. An angel. Mr. Crowley... well, yeah, he's the Hell kind. But I don't think he wants to be. He said he, um, 'didn't so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards'. He tries hard to be good, but there are rules, and he has to tempt people or, you know, he'd get into trouble. But I don't think he actually wants to succeed."

She cocks her head, concerned. "CJ, why do you say you're damned?"

Because I am, Tara. [She speaks plainly, as if she had just said she had gum in her purse]. Is there anything else I should know?

Tara presses her lips together. "Yes. Everyone seems bound and determined to blame him for everything. And... well, people live up, or down, to your expectations. If he hasn't hurt you, or tried to - give him the benefit of the doubt? He needs it."

Ok...thanks Tara. I need to get on to the library, and Beka's waiting for you.

"Have a good day, CJ," Tara smiles. "And... good luck."
