Hey Kayli? Knock knock..

What’s weird though, is that they were talking to some people at the department for paperwork, like for marriage licenses and stuff, and the person at the front desk said that d(a)emons can’t get married. And then I told them that d(a)emons can get married. And I wonder what that was about, like was it just racism?
