## Description
When life becomes a monotonous cycle, it's not hard to grasp how someone could be pushed to the brink of violence, all in the name of feeling free. It becomes even more understandable if that person never even began to live, before being shoved out of the nest. With no gentle way out, the only chance to start anew is to snap chains and splatter organs.

Putting it that way, it was only a matter of time until Demian gave in. We can't prevent a tragedy, but we can cause their descent.

## Characters
### Demian Zhao
The protagonist of Veins Like Tapeworms. Demian is doing a great job of pretending they're not utterly miserable about their current life, thank you very [i]much[/i]. They moved to Kingsfield Beach in hopes of hitting a jackpot at a casino, and now they work as a cleaner in the notorious Restful Night Motel. They seem to hold a lot of resentment towards their family, who disowned them at 18.

Currently, Demian plays host to a strange creature that claims itself a god. They've nicknamed it "Slyce," after the music album they never released, Slyce the Deathverse. Though Slyce's morals lean more on the monstrous side, Demian themself may not be so innocent either.
