Your evil girl of the abandoned places is so creepy, I like that you brought her back.

She seems to be the stand-out, which isn't particularly surprising. But she isn't evil, just, er... misunderstood, is all.

Maybe.

In that case…. If you see her around; would you please give her my sincere apologies for misconstruing her motivations; I’d really prefer if she didn’t show up here to set me straight! 😂

Just avoid abandoned big box stores, abandoned animatronic pizza restaurants, abandoned schools, dead malls, and basically anywhere that's empty and left behind to time and the elements and you shouldn't have to worry about seeing her. But I'll put in a good word for you.

Maybe I should start ending these with a black title card that just says "Little Demon Girl in the Big Coat will Return" like they have at the end of the Marvel movies :P

The title credits role over a shot over the shoulder of Fat Cat, looking out the open door. A small hand pats him on the back, and his face turns toward the camera. "Coming this fall," he says, "to a theater near you."

I was thinking of getting Joss Whedon to write the big cross-over between all the different characters but the idea of the girl in the coat showing up and the protagonist making a, "Uh, she's right behind me, isn't she?" Marvel-style quips made me physically ill.
