Editing Shadows of the Tower—Jake Chen (section)

==Questions and Answers==

; Who are you?
: I am Jacob Chen, ex-demon hunter.

; How long have you been in the city?
: I've lived in Toronto all my life—42 years but who's counting?

; What was your greatest accomplishment in the city?
: Stopping the Broken Mirror Society from merging {WORST SLUM} with the Hell of No Money, back in December 2012 when the Pandemonium Gates opened briefly.

; Why did you stop?
: I stopped taking risks after my life-partner Larry died because of my carelessness, and what use is a cautious demon hunter?

; What do you desperately need?
: Someone to hold me when I cry and tell me it'll be all right.

; How many remaining members are there of the Broken Mirror Society are there, at least that Jake's aware of?
: I don't know. I killed ''O-juu'' and the Shattered Man myself, but at least one of the others escaped the collapse of the burning building to send me that threatening mail in January, and it could be all three.

; Was your life-partner a legally recognized partner?
: No. Larry's family were fine with him being gay, but would have rather died than have him marry anyone non-white, or so he said. I never even got to meet them, just overheard Larry arguing with his parents on the phone…

; Has Jake been with anyone since Larry died? Casual encounters? Fledgling relationship? Someone currently moving in? Or just total lockout?
: Just casual. I haven't wanted even to go looking for a relationship.

; What's Jake do for money?
: Running out of that, actually; I've been living off the money Larry left me, everything of his that wasn't tied up in trusts, and I'm down to the dregs. I'm getting set up to provide specialist light engineering services to the supernatural community, but any business takes time to grow.

; Is the arrangement with Vivian for space something entirely new, or have you had other "renters" before?
: New deal. I haven't even had this warehouse thing for long—I set it up after I got that chunk of mirror wrapped in red silk in the mail in January, no return address, no fingerprints.

; Make and model, and colour, for your car and phone.
: – Charcoal 2012 Honda CR-V, loaded, bought used for cash in 2013.
: – Unlocked black Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Who needs a laptop?

; When was the last time you spoke with someone in Larry's family?
: When his father called me to tell me not to come to the funeral.
: Fuck him. I went anyway. Larry's mother looked like she wanted to come over and talk to me, but it didn't happen.
