I was wondering about the name, because the name is all wrong. The Amicus Hotel. It’s the wrong nomenclature.

Personality[]
Devereaux often appears hopeless. He feels deep shame and guilt whenever he is happy. He is kind and polite.[1]
Background[]
When Devereaux was 11 years old he and his sister, Francine, headed north-west together. They were looking for their parents. Francine was 16 and when she had voiced running away from their foster-home, Devereaux had begged her to let him go with her. Francine had looked after Devereaux since they got to the foster-home. Dev could come with her, as long as he promised he would do what she told him. A few days after this, Francine woke him up and they ran away. Francine did all of the work to keep them safe and help them travel. She kept threatening that she would leave him behind, although she never acted on it. They stayed at a motel called the Rapture-and-Bliss, where they slept in their clothes because the room was freezing and because they feared the cops showing up. Devereaux couldn’t sleep. Francine told him to stop crying and, growing impatient, that there was a god under the bed. That he'd take offerings left for him in the night. This terrified Dev so much he was too frightened to sleep, but he had stopped moving. Early in the morning, at maybe 2 or 3 o’clock, he heard scratching beneath him, like something coming up from under the floorboards. He felt the pressure of something on the mattress. He ran without looking back. Francine called after him as the door slammed shut. He waited outside in the cold, pleading with the god for his sister to be okay. The motel owner walked towards him and asked if he was okay. They went up to room 41 to check, and Francine was gone and there was no sign of a struggle. Dev knew that the motel owner was thought he was making things up and his sister had abandoned him. When Dev left the hotel, he walked back towards Glottage and the foster home he had left.[1]
