Moxxie continued struggling and sweating to tell Balin if Heaven and its angels were evil or not.

In Hell's case, they were, considering their annual Extermination Day to control its over-population problem from above.

"Listen, kid. The thing is..." stuttered Moxxie. "The Heaven you believe in... it's not..."

"Not, what?" asked Balin, listening closely with a little worry. "Is Heaven... bad?"

As Blitzø, Millie, and Loona looked on just as nervous about how he'll react, Moxxie took a deep breath. But seeing his face, he exhaled not holding it in any longer and teared up.

"I'm sorry! I can't do it! I just can't!" he cried.

"Can't do what? Uncle..."

"Yes, they are, darling." another voice in the room said.

Everyone looked at Millie in shock to see it was her who said that, as she sighed sadly.

"After Hell started expanding with Lucifer and Lilith, the angels in charge made a deal, to hold an event where every year, Exorcist angels would come down from Heaven and... and..." Millie started tearing up next as Balin was shocked at what he was hearing. "They could even hunt us down one day."

"Angels... can, kill?" Balin backed up to the wall, feeling scared. "No. Is this a joke? Angels don't kill."

"No, it's not." sighed Loona in sympathy, as she rubbed her tail in regret.

"So... you two are telling me," said Balin to Moxxie and Millie. "Everything I've believed so far about Heaven, is a lie?"

The married imps individually lowered their heads in guilt, as Moxx wiped away his tears.

"I'm so sorry, sweetie." Loona then kneeled down to his level. "Trust me, I wouldn't want to tell you either, even at your age."

"Don't worry, Loona." sighed Balin, in a little sadness. "It's okay."

"Okay?!" Moxxie perked his head up in a gasp. "Kid, aren't you... crushed, by any of this?"

"I am. But I already know how it feels." the boy said to the imp, then looking to the hellhound. "I guess I was right. Maybe there are monsters in my world after all."

Loona rubbed his cheek with her soft paw, heartbroken by him saying those words. "Awww, no, buddy."

"And you think that's 'OK' kid?" exclaimed Blitzø in shock. "Tell those two words to the angels who even butchered the literal hell outta my therapist!"

Angered by his insensitivity, Loona stood up and slapped the back of Blitzø head hard.

"What? I was trying to tell him it wasn't OK!" he hissed in pain at his daughter. "So, ow!"

"Shut! Up!" seethed Loona through her jaws, before calming down and kneeling down at Balin again.

"Well, do you want to know what I'm right about kiddo?"

"What is it, Loona?"

"That inside even some demons, there's a rainbow."

Moxxie then grabbed the book and showed the cover to Balin. "Words of the proud author behind this book."

"Charlie... Morningstar...?" the boy read the author's name on the cover of the book, underneath the title. "Is that... Satan's daughter?"

"Lucifer's, actually." grinned Loona with her arms crossed.

"WOW!"

"I guess, what makes it okay is that, there's not a lot of angels that know these events anyway." Loona then spoke to the imps. "Considering Charlie's babe is an Exorcist herself. Formerly."
