Adrien breathed in. He wiped his tears away from his face. "Thank you... thank you for letting me know", he said. Where his senses had been heightened with anxiety before, there was now a sort of dull ache coursing through his being. His eyes landed on the paper on the table. "I hope I am understanding all of this right", he said. "So, if I summon you, I should say...".

Val took in a deep breath. "Instead of 'come to me, demon', you would say: 'come to me, Val, demon'. For this to work, you will have to summon me during my Hour, which is between nine and ten in the evening - it is the time when I open the portal and wait to be summoned. If you do so during this time, I will appear".

There were a few seconds of silence. "Alright", Adrien then said. "If... if I can, I will do this".
