✖ - { The man was a threat. Eon had only recently come to realise this - upon their first meeting, the demon had deemed him unimportant. But while Rook wasn’t much of a physical challenge for Eon, or Neo for that matter, there was something about him that rubbed them the wrong way. And in insisting that coming clean about stealing the soul was the best thing that Neo could have done, he made an enemy of Eon. }

                    ✖ - { Not that they’d really liked him in the first place. }

                    ✖ - { No, something of a rival had become a legitimate foe and so Eon sought, as they would with anything or anyone else that got in the way, to eliminate him. }

                    ✖ - { It was not planned. It was a random, unpremeditated attack - the first time that Eon had seen the agent since their deciding conversation. The demon sidled up next to Rook, a smile playing at their lips.}
