"I think it's a demon in someone," Marcus answers. "And that someone just happens to be in there."
It's a purposely vague statement, because while he has his suspicions, he's also not entirely certain he knows who is carrying the demon around with them. Or why. He's seen all kinds of attacks, demons picking people because they're vulnerable in some way, because it can consider them weak, though what constitutes weakness to a demon certainly isn't what Marcus looks at as the same.
And that's why he and the people he's helping tend to win.
Children are all vulnerable. The older they get, the harder it tends to be for demons to get in, but children and teenagers are ripe for picking without even knowing it. It's not all that surprising to him that one has come into the care home.
"Have you noticed anyone acting out of the ordinary?" he asks. "I know it's a lot, maybe asking you to betray someone's confidence, but I can only see so much."
