Vindemiator now goes by the chosen name Gavin, and has distanced himself from Aria whenever possible. He attempts to go to D.A.M.N. for full certification, planning to work for the Department upon graduation, but faces prejudice and disregard. He changes plans, leaning into studies provided by the Demonic school instead, but is made very uncomfortable by the attitudes there in regards to being an Incubus. He leaves the program.

Your Sad Ex Boyfriend Leaves You a Voicemail

Ivan is an unempowered human, born and living in Montana, who has been in a serious relationship with "Baby" for years.

Unbeknownst to Ivan, a Sadism Demon named Vega has become interested in him and sees an opportunity to experiment with the creation of a sustained source of the sadistic energy which he feeds on, considering it a ‘personal project’. As part of the groundwork for this project, Vega erases the voicemail and record of the call from “Baby”s phone before they are aware of its existence in a bid to further isolate Ivan.

The conflict with Vega comes to a head. Caelum seeks shelter with “Freelancer” and Gavin, but Vega appears. He and Gavin fight, with Vega ultimately losing.

Gavin receives a proverbial slap of the wrist but returns to “Freelancer” without incident.
