You have to decide who eats who.. if you eat the demon Danish, you are possessed by the evil entity. If the Danish eats you, your soul and consciousness are absorbed into the Danish.

This is my cat, and he just happens to be the best cat in the world. He’s very heavy footed/pawed and likes to shout/meow as soon as he pops in through the cat flap.
