And it is finally finished! Wow this took a lot longer than anticipated, especially all of the manips that involve a full view of the demon, but that's what I get for getting super ambitious with my designs xD
Enjoy!

Storyline: Rapunzel has been battling her inner demons for most of her life. Locked away in a tower, deprived of love, or any other kind of positive interaction, she is constantly being emotionally abused by Gothel. "Useless," "worthless," and "a waste of space," are all phrases she has grown accustomed to hearing Gothel use to describe her. While younger, she could always brush these insults off, but as the years have worn her down, she has slowly begun to believe them. Her inner demon uses this opportunity to claw its way to the surface. Her inner angel does its best to convince her otherwise, but Rapunzel feels that the world would be better off without her. The demon continues to pressure her as she steps towards the balcony's edge.
"Now, do it..."
The angel is quick to jump after Rapunzel, catching her mid-fall, and gently lowering her to the ground where she finally breaks down. When the demon follows to continue tormenting Rapunzel, the angel intercepts, banishing the demon to the depths of Rapunzel's mind. Although the demon won't be gone forever, Rapunzel's mind hasn't been this clear or at peace in years.

Note: In my mind there is at least 2 ways to interpret this part (more specifically Punzie's jump from her tower). It can be taken in a literal sense, where Rapunzel did attempt suicide and actually leapt from the physical tower. But it can also be taken in a metaphorical sense, where Rapunzel's "jump from her tower" is actually her falling down towards her lowest possible state of mind. In other words, she's reaching "rock bottom" and rather than crashing down to the ground, the angel softens the blow.
