"Cunning like snakes, silent like owls, merciless"

Terrible quote from one of the characters in the chapters as they were asked about Fallen by Sohan—"As their veil of shadows consumes the light around them, at best, you have seconds before you, too, see it. The Fell. The Atrium of the damned and the wicked. The end of the universe as we know it. It won't let you escape, even when you think you did. Nothing is real past that point. Don't trust anyone. And above all, don't trust yourself." And then home boy fucked up and tried making friends with one.

Fallen can and do use hallucinogenic fumes to disorient their prey, which is what the man was hardly able to describe as an experience he had by encounter alone. Fallen don't look or act like it, but they're smart and they're capable of immense psychic damage if one lacks the willpower to break the dream induced comas' effects.
