The next day had rolled around the corner quickly. Diavolo told eveyone to stay at his Castle since it would be much easier for all of them. Unfortunately, the brothers were unable to see Lucifer and Barbatos was nowhere to be seen. This caused some confusion and worry.

It was breakfast and the demons, angels and human were seated at Lord Diavolo's table in the hall. It was silent and eerie.

That was until Satan, surprisingly, decided to break the thick silence hanging in the air. He cleared his throat and glanced towards Diavolo.

"Lord Diavolo."

The said demon looked up from his food. He hummed and held eye contact with Satan.

"Yes, Satan? What is it?"

"When will me and my brothers be able to see Lucifer again? I hate to admit this, but... We are quite desperate."

The brothers sat at the table each nodded in agreement. Though none of them would ever admit it, they missed their big brother. They wanted him back. They wanted the old Lucifer back.

Diavolo sighed. "I'm sorry, you guys... I really have no idea. Lucifer still poses as a threat to all of you despite being your brother. Barbatos took him down to the dungeon for a reason."

The demon's faces fell. They continued to eat in silence. The human, who was sat all the way at the end of the table, felt their heart clech seeing the brothers this way. They had no idea what it was, yet they hated seeing them upset. It made them feel upset.

"Diavolo." The demon Lord looked up once more to look at M/C. He smiled.

"Yes, M/C? What can I do for you?"

The said human took a deep breath. "Surely it wouldn't do much harm if the brothers were to see Lucifer." They glanced around the table. "I mean, he is locked up in the dungeons with Barbatos looking after him, right?"

All eyes were on Diavolo. The Prince sighed.

"Ah, you've convinced me," He chuckled, "Okay. You brothers can go down to the dungeons to see Lucifer. Though, if I may... Solomon and the angels?"

The three looked up immediately. "Yes, Lord Diavolo?"

"Do you mind going with the brothers? Just in case Lucifer tries to do anything else."

Simeon nodded. The other two agreed. "Of course, Lord Diavolo. We'd be happy to."

The demon clapped his hands together. "Great! Now that just leaves one person..."

Diavolo locked gazes with the human opposite him. M/C visibly gulped. Despite his cheerful and layed back demeanour, Lord Diavolo was actually quite powerful and intimidating when he wished to be.

"Do you feel comfortable seeing Lucifer, M/C? If not, that's perfectly fine."

M/C hummed. Yes, Lucifer had hurt them. Badly. But they knew deep down that the true Lucifer would never even think of doing something like that. Something snapped in Lucifer, M/C knew this. This wasn't the real Lucifer.
