Yeah, it's made pretty clear in Lunacy that just because the contractor may be killed by the vessel, doesn't mean the demon will.

The only reason the Demon of Gluttony ended up suffering so bad was due to Banica directly taking in the wrath magic from the shaved dust of the key when she ate the poisoned soup and Carlos, which (as her contract implies) the demon took all in directly itself while keeping her relatively unharmed.

Had Carlos just up and stabbed his beloved, the demon probably would've survived while Banica got axed.

And considering we have Sati, Kayo, and Gallerian as our examples of contractors killed by Grimm the End, there's no reason the Marlon Spoon shouldn't have followed suit if we're following the logic of the theory.
