Running hexes refers to selling illegal goods that have been hexed by an infernal. People can quickly get addicted to them, so the whole trade is illegal. However there is very good money in it.
(Be careful of love bombing! When you are overwhelmed by gifts and affection there can be strings attached.)
No, poor darling!

AAAAHHHHHHHHH 💔💔💔💔 This poor baby. All the hugs for our Song. And dammit Whiteley, can I just say AGAIN how astonished I am that you have made me feel so invested in these beings and their relationship and their lives. Came for the Ineffable Husbands, stayed for the Mansong. 🥰🥰🥰

This is possibly both the saddest and most beautiful panel so far 😢❤ I hate to see how deeply his ex truly hurt Song, abusive relationship at its finest...

It was the ex that got him into hex running?! And the ex is some kind of political official??? Disgusting piece of 🤬 I hope Mansa one day rips him down on corruption on top of everything else.

Oof, this one hits close to home. Love bombing is a smothering feeling. I’m in love with the lighting and his expression here, even though it’s hard to see that embarrassment. It’s ok Song, you’re a survivor of a manipulative relationship, no one is blaming you ❤️
P.S, dying to know this p.o.s ‘s name

Ok, there's the manipulation at plain sight 🥺🥺 that dude had a whole plan here (gaining Song's trust before striking) and that sounds like a serial abuser... not his first, not his last 😣

Sigh… the saddest ears… so sorry Song… we’ve all gotten tied up in things we shouldn’t have… so glad he’s away from that horrible person now ❤️❤️❤️
