Bloody eyes? No. Bloodshot eyes. It's got to be Aka—the Redman. Umbra's pathetic little bloodstain. Ugh. UGH! If there is one person, no demon, who I hate more than Umbra, it's got to be the Redman. Well, if he's here, there's a pretty good chance that Umbra hasn't actually found the Enochian Bible yet. So… why was he trying to break open the Black Tide? Moreover, if he thought the Enochian Bible was in the Black Tide, why wouldn't he keep trying to break the Tide until he's successful?
It's only a theory—but maybe the Redman and Umbra "found" the Enochian Bible in the Black Tide, or at least they found where it was. Maybe that was enough to break the Redman's service to Umbra, and they split, but along the way, Umbra found out that the Black Tide didn't have the Enochian Bible, and that's why he wanted to "thank" me? So now that Umbra's question to the Redman is once again unanswered he's back in Umbra's service? Hm. It's not a bad theory, I guess. But… it doesn't really line up. The Redman is a boogieman with centuries of loopholes burned into his contract. There's no way he'd fall into some sorta "uh, actually, my question is unanswered" BS.
I guess it's possible the Redman has some sorta Stockholm syndrome, and he's just helping Umbra out because he's got nothing better to do. But why would Umbra want to have the Redman bloodshot a bunch of club randos? Or… maybe it is all just a big coincidence that both Umbra and Redman are here at the same time. So… I guess for now, we'll serve him a Cappuccino. I guess he could technically drink an Espresso or Americano by now—but I wouldn't flatter him like that. He's a glorified pop quiz.
