Kahlua appears as a 12 year old cult leader. He leads a traveling cult of young girls ages 5 to 20 all virgins.

No person B, Mako, shows up and is appalled by his cult (its like a lebian worship thang to Kahlua, with Kahlua sitting on a throne of roses in the middle of it all) and tries to turn his girls against him, only

my close relations. I had imagined the place to be dirty and filthy, but it wasn’t, it was just basic.
