Brimstone Park

As she works, Sekhmet explains what she's doing. "The process she used to turn you into a devil is not something I can reverse. If I could, I would be able to become mortal again. So you see how the structure of my soul is different?" She means with the orbiting but separate darkness, rather than darkness on and throughout the soul. "I'm going to rebuild yours like that." She pulls a long strand of darkness free, wads it up into a ball, and then throws it. It finds its way into a lazy orbit around Rose. But there's still so much darkness left. Sekhmet grabs hold of another strand and begins pulling. She repeats the process several times. "When I'm finished, you'll be a devil. But you won't be beholden to your nature. Like I am."
