Juno awoke to the soft glow of morning light of hell filtering through his curtains, casting a warm ambiance in the room. Stretching, he sat up, greeted by the familiar routine of a new day. After a quick glance at the clock, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed.
His morning ritual commenced with a brisk walk to the bathroom. A splash of water on his face and a glance in the mirror marked the start of the day.
In the kitchen, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as he prepared his favorite morning brew. The clinking of utensils and the soft hum of the coffee maker created a soothing rhythm. With a steaming mug in hand, he headed downstairs towards his little studio/living area.
Before descending, he paused by a hand-drawn picture of his mama hanging on the wall. A tender smile graced his lips as he whispered a heartfelt "Good morning, Mama," paying homage to the memory captured in the sketch.
Finally, he entered the living room where a sizable TV awaited. With a flick of the remote, the room came to life as the screen illuminated. The morning news accompanied him as he settled into the day, coffee in hand, embracing the comforting routine that marked the beginning of a new morning....
..Or afternoon, as it was already late into the day.
Juno lounged on the couch, savoring the rich aroma of his coffee. The morning news played softly in the background, the newscaster's voice saying something about the recent extermination and a turf war going on the west side of the city. However, Juno, lost in his thoughts, didn't pay much attention, the hum of the TV becoming a distant backdrop until...
"Welcome back!" Her neck snapped as Katie greeted, but she swiftly snapped it back into place., "So Charlotte."
Charlie sat down next to the news demon and glanced at Katie in confusion. "It's Charlie."
"Whatever. Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about." With her pen tightly grasped in her fingers, Katie forced a grin at Charlie.
Charlie looked at the live audience, Vaggie smiling at her in the crowd,"Well, as most of you know, I was born here in Hell and growing up I always tried to see the good in everything around me."
A insect crawling across the table caught Katie's attention as she clicked her pen. She lifted her pen, stabbing the bug, the guts splashing on Charlie.
"Hell is my home and you are my people." Charlie wiped the blood from her cheek, "We-we just went through anothef extermination. We lost sk many souls and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year."
With her head cocked to the side and a roll of her chin, Katie had dozed off next to the Princess.
"And no one is even given a chance!" Katie was startled awake as Charlie banged her fist against the desk, "I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence."
Charlie got up and moved around the desk to face the group of people gathered behind the camera., "So, i've been thinking, isn't there a more humane way to endure overpopulation here in Hell? Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls, through, redemption?"
This got Juno's attention the princess proceeds to go on about an alternative to the extermination, presenting a pathway to redeem sinners. "Wait, hold on—redemption? Is that even possible?" he said aloud.
As the notion settled in, Juno found himself deep in contemplation. Could this redemption concept genuinely work? Thoughts cascaded through his mind, and with a sudden burst of enthusiasm, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes! This might actually work!" The prospect of redemption ignited a spark of hope, and Juno's mind raced with the possibilities that unfolded before him.
In the aftermath of the song-to-fistfight debacle, Juno swiftly gathered his belongings, eager to investigate the hotel. Before embarking on his mission, he conscientiously texted Lin all the details. As the ever-supportive big brother, Lin, recognizing Juno's determined nature, simply agreed with the entire plan, understanding the relentless resolve of his younger sibling.
