Grandpappy's Blessing /s "Get up, sonny!"
Every time Sycamore gets hurt, when they would feel pain or strife, they instead hear a surge in the voices that follow them as their responsibility creeps closer and they tune into what they're meant to be. They cringe and try to smile it off, but they honestly have no idea why they can't feel their injuries, and it's terrifying. Close passerby hear faint whispers- "Get up", "Help me, please" "Can't you hear me?" "It'll be over soon, please, over here..."
Grandpappy Van Brunt figures Syc's getting up on their way, finally, and has decided to give them a helping hand in their line of work. Even if it's not what he expected, he'll try to accommodate for the ingrate- kids these days aren't tough like they used to be.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
