Someone will know, sure. Maybe... maybe there's people who might here that have undergone this...? [ There has to be, surely. Maybe they don't all go to the ocean afterwards, maybe it's not always so long. She doesn't know.
And she certainly can't think of Paimon or Peter giving the Pthumerians any reason to punish them, either. Certainly not Peter, he barely knows their names. He has little to do with them other than maybe his own Patron, and Luna's by association. But Paimon? Merlin knows. ]

The people who brought Paimon to this plane. ... Followers? A cult, maybe? Peter's grandmother was involved. [ And his mother? Peter thinks so, but Luna isn't quite so sure. But Ellen certainly was, given her interaction with Peter when she appeared in Deerington as some undead thing. ] They're the ones responsible for putting Paimon into Peter. But the thing is... Paimon's never supposed to be a violent being, but I think they were pushing him to attack Peter, to hurt him. Like Peter himself was never supposed to be within his own body anymore, that they wanted Paimon around permanently.
[ 'Peter himself'; his soul, she means. And certainly Paimon had initially been at odds with Peter, wanting to get rid of him. He didn't actively stop until Luna made her bond with him. ]
And Paimon came here so... lost, and broken and wild. They... they did that to him.
[ She is... she's so angry with them. For what they've done to Peter, but what they've done to Paimon too. Pushed and pulled an ancient being in whatever way suited them, likely for Paimon to serve them with his knowledge and his riches — something they wouldn't want to give up so easily.
K's already moving. Part of her is grateful for him springing into action because she's asked for his help. But the other part worries, journeying going out in the middle of the night. ]
K, I don't expect you to come out here. It's the middle of the night.
