PLAYER NAME: Shade CHARACTER NAME: Leo Flynn USERNAME: stealyoursoul NEW CANON POINT: End of the second book, This Dark Duet CHANGES: A year passes by in canon. After his brother August killed him by stealing his soul, they find out something new about their powers: when you absorb the soul of someone you love, it gets stuck in the mind of that person. August at first isn't sure if Leo is actually in his mind, or if he's going crazy, and it isn't until the end of the book he confirms Leo really was in his mind the whole time.
Leo spends his time influencing his little brother's mind. Since August is the last Sunai left to defend the city with Leo dead and their sister unable to use her powers, he pushes August to become colder and more ruthless. For the most part, he succeeds, and August successfully defends the city. Leo witnesses August lose part of himself, becoming detached from humanity as Leo became. He doesn't necessarily see this as a bad thing, though everyone else around August becomes worried.
Another Sunai is created during that year, Soro, who identifies as being non-binary. They are very much like Leo in their mindset, and between Leo inside his mind and Soro on the outside, August begins to wonder if his dream to be more like a human being was just a childish, naive fantasy. When Kate Harker, August's friend and love interest shows back up claiming a chaos monster that can influence minds has come to the city, it becomes apparent to her just how much August has changed. She directly compares him to Leo, which pleases Leo's consciousness, and disturbs August. He begins trying to fight Leo's influence with limited success.
The chaos monster is captured by enemy Malchai forces and unleashed on innocent people, brainwashing them into killing each other. August, Ilsa, and Soro end up in the fight. Soro calms down the crowd of people by using his song. August kills the Malchai who was responsible for unleashing the monster. Ilsa reverts to her true form, able to use her powers in her monster form, and sacrifices herself to kill the chaos monster in a mutual kill. All three of her siblings are saddened by this.
Meanwhile, Kate is busy fighting the Malchai named Alice that she inadvertently unleashed in the first book. It also turns into a mutual kill as Kate stabs her to death, but is gored by the Malchai's claws deep enough to die a slow, painful death. August rushes to her side. She asks if part of the people he takes stays with them and he responds he doesn't know, still unsure about Leo's soul being trapped in his mind. He absorbs her soul, and Leo, knowing there's nothing else he can do to influence his little brother, finally leaves, letting Kate's soul take his place in August's mind. It confirms to August that Leo's soul was real the whole time.
He'll come in directly after Leo's soul leaves August's mind.
