Jeanette has an interesting experience on page 108. She is thinking about demons and how supposedly everyone has them "like fleas". Then "her demon" appears. He tries to convince her that, contrary to what she was taught, demons are good and natural. This conversation is Jeanette's way of arguing with herself. She wants to hold onto this feeling that she has found though everyone around her tells her it is wrong. Through this conversation she convinces herself that her new feeling is not wrong, that it is a part of her.
The demon appears later. He tells her, "[Y]ou've made your choice now, there's no going back." He tosses her a small, brown stone to remind her of her choice. The stone is used later to tie together stories and thoughts about making a choice that cannot be taken back.
