The gang is back together, and my goodness, they all look so different! For starters, Invidia now has a blue eye, but not in an ‘imbibed too much spice’ kind of way. Only the iris is blue, and if anything, it’s kind of soft and welcoming. His physical form hasn’t changed much, at least the part of it that isn’t tucked away into its own little pocket dimension.

He’s definitely a little bigger, a little stronger-looking, but for the most part, he’s a big ol’ eye, with two wings, and two long gangly arms hanging down. When he smiles, the air itself slips apart beneath him to reveal his ravenous, toothy maw. That mouth is out in the open now, grinning a toothy grin as I take a good look at him.

[You’re looking positively dapper, Invidia! Full of life! How does it feel to reach the seventh tier?]

[It feelssss good. I have grownsssss assssss a demon.]

I can tell, but it seems to be even more profound than that.

[I think you’ve grown as more than a demon, little buddy. I think you’ve grown as a being. You feel more genuine. More you.]

His big eye blinks at me.

[I’sssss agree.]

I mean, it must be a little weird having your personality and the thing you crave the most changed by evolution. Or is it the thing they crave the most that drives the evolution? I’m not sure, but judging by how happy he seems, I think Invidia has chosen well.

Tiny… Tiny is huge. It’s easy to see he poured his evolutionary energy into increasing his physical prowess as much as he could. Striking a balance between raw size and muscle density, he’s grown quite a bit. Hard to imagine there was once a time when he was riding around on my back. He’s way bigger than I am now, and it’s not like I’m small.

I mean… how big was King Kong supposed to be? Tiny is giving him a run for his money. At this rate, he’ll be smacking over the empire state building with one hand in a couple of evolutions!
