Don’t forget the lessons from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_You_Pet_the_Dog%3F

Cooper found that the stray dogs in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 could not be petted by players. He stated he “was frustrated that [the game] purposely put dogs in a poor situation, meant to evoke empathy from the player, but there was no way to comfort or care for these hungry, frightened creatures”.

Replace “dog” with “demon” and the same principle applies.
