For a demon, Kiriel has a huge appreciation for life in Repossessed. He loves looking at squirrels and tasting new foods, and he thinks riding the bus with his head out the window is a thrill. Can you blame him? Usually, he's stuck in hell (for real), watching people suffer over and over again. Boy, does that get old fast. So when he gets to earth, he doesn't take the little things for granted. We see him explore his body and surroundings, delighted and surprised by what he finds. Who knew a packet of ketchup could be so enticing?
