People are miserable, almost without fail, but it’s not their fault.  (Well, not entirely, anyway.)  Demons plague the world, targeting the most vulnerable people, influencing them to become even more so, until they hit a point in their lives at which their soul will, inevitably, go south at the end of its stay on Earth.  Gho’bus is one such demon, though he is quite young.  He’s been assigned to the residents of an apartment building in New York City, and given a week to prove he’s up to the task.  He will spend those seven days following the tenants, learning their weaknesses, and pushing them to the edge, with the goal of guaranteeing as many souls as possible for his Master.  Despite his time limit, he can report to his supervisor, and request a reset, sending him back to the first day of his assignment with the knowledge and experience gleaned from his exploits in the building, all the better to break them with.
