It is also established that D'Amour has now faced the demons of the Gulf frequently. With her sight, Paine assists D'Amour in his hunt for the elusive demon Cha'Chat. Upon cornering the demon, it redirects him to "something wilder", another demon about to be born, before using the distraction to escape.
