"There's a legend of a demon who lies in wait at night. Teeth sharp... Claws long... A smile wide and bright. It's strong, and fast, and silent. It's terror on display. Fear not if you are human. Monsters are its prey. But its fearsome reputation is a performance for the world. And demon laughs behind the mask. For she knows... she's just a girl."

— Carver Butcher
