What the what what? Incorporeal being? Not afflicted? He didn't understand anything that came out of Elron's mouth, but he didn't have much of an answer anyway, so he guesses it doesn't matter. What does matter is that the door is open for their escape and he's itching to get out of there. He barely had a foot over the threshold when Odessa gave him an unsettling answer.

"Many apparitions, when they lose their previous body, desperately seek out a new body to take over. And usually they go for the closest match of their original body... which unfortunately is you." She chuckled and got so close to his face that he almost pushed her out of his space. "One solution would be to just give it what it wants. You'll still have your soul and infinite potential..."

Yeah, he was tired of whatever she was trying to pull. Some weird mix of attempting to be sexy and flirty, but it made his stomach churn instead. He's not good with sneaky people and his initial feeling about her changed from probably won't hurt him to he needs to stay the fuck away. She's more dangerous than the girls that look like his ex. She's suggesting he gives into a demon when he has demons of his own he fights every day and the last thing he needs is one that's like him in anyway shape or form. He doesn't imagine he'd live long with Stacey Gray x2. 

A loud bang came from the other side of the wall, then he was on the snowy ground of the alley with Odessa on top of him. The Apparition came through the wall and almost got him, before crashing through another wall to the outside. He barely paid her any attention with his eyes on the snow tornado surrounding it. What the fuck fuck? Spirits, demons, fucking Satan, and now whatever optical illusion that is. Then her body was off of his and she pulled him to his feet. He didn't linger on their handhold and let go of her as soon as he stood up. Something didn't feel right. She was colder than she should be and her breath didn't cloud in the cold like his and Elron's. Swear to God if she's a corpse he's out. Alone in this strange world or not. Alone with Elron, of all people, or not. He's not coping with this. At. All.

He tucked the knife into his belt loops, then tugged on Elron's sleeve so he stayed between him and Odessa. Can't trust her not to stab him in the back or strangle him. Best to have distance. He ran down the alley, away from the monster, away from the bar, and hoped Zoey and Penny make it out okay. He's not sure if he can function with two insufferable people. The alley let out to another empty street, more snow on the ground now. He didn't know where to go, so he went in the direction he came from when Zoey yelled out earlier. If the bar was warm and had a functional jukebox, maybe they could get the train running in the meantime and get as far from here as possible.
