Technically Luna was supposed to officially deny that Moon was still around. But it seemed dishonest and wrong to lie like that to someone who was coming to her personally like this.

“Just between you and I, Sunset…” Luna told her in a whisper. “Not hear her, per say. But she is still there. It is more like a revolving door.

She looked down at the floor, ears folding back timidly. “Ever since my old friends there did what they did, and left me… I can hear her. My own Demon. She’s just… there… whispering things… eeking her way into the blackest parts of my brain…”

She let out a small sniffle and said, “You’re the only one I’ve told this too. I didn’t want mom and Twilight to worry…”
