Nights #14

Continuing the focus on Gray's past, Nights #14 offers us a flashback to Gray meeting the lizard-swaying magic user Erik and the fallout of the pair stealing the Magic 8-Ball which leads Chimera to their door. Gray puts up a fight, but eventually surrenders to save Erik (leading to them being caged and targeted for death by Chimera). The classic toy, however, may have other ideas.

One of the things Agent Tsukumari learns about the innocuous 8-Ball is that it only supplies answers when you ask the correct question, something which he does after being presented with a life-changing choice by his lover and boss with plans to leave and start a new life. We aren't shown the answer it provides, but it was obviously something jarring enough to lead him out in the middle of the night and argue for Gray and Erik's survival. Is this the start of what fate has in store for our vamp femme eventually leading to the end of the world? I guess we'll wait and see.
