"I'd be more worried about your friend," Damien tells her. "I imagine I don't have half as many secrets as he does." Or at least not as many secrets that are his. He likes collecting other people's dirty laundry just as much as he seems to like collecting books.

And speaking of books, while he swears he had nothing to do with this, there may be a few, more disturbing titles, in Damien's stacks. They don't outright finger him as the one who summoned the Croatoan, but if nothing else, it makes it that much more obvious that he's not as nice a person as he may be pretending to be. Civil does not necessarily equate to good.
