Nico's POV:

The crowd cheers and applauds before Charlie, Sera, Abel, Emily, & Lute appear via portal, holding gift baskets.

Emily: "Uh...hello." *waves*

Vox: "Oh, my God! They're here to silence me!"

The crowd gasps.

Emily: "No, no, no, no, no. We're here to apologize."

Sera: "We are sorry."

Vox: "Oh! Oh, really? You're sorry? For what exactly?"

Sera: "For...everything."

Emily: "For allowing the extermination of your people."

Vox: "Oh, just that? And what do you have here? Are those gift baskets?-*laughing*-No, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, wait, wait. You--You are apologizing for genocide wth gift baskets?"

Abel: "Uh, they have assorted taffies in them. Like, really good taffies."

Vox: "Oh, you hear that, folks? These angels think our lives are worth 'really good taffies'. That's what a sinner's soul is worth to Heaven, huh?"

The crowd boos at the angels.

Emily: "No, I--That's not--"

Charlie: "Emily?"

Vox: "Tell us all the real reason you're here. You are here to flaunt your power in front of us because you can't stand that Hell managed to land a pretty damn big hit on you, didn't we?"

The crowd cheers in recognition of our victory over Heaven the last time we fought them.

Lute: "How dare you, fucking demonic filth?"

Emily holds Lute back from attacking Vox.

Emily: "No, that's not it at all. We wanted to apologize. What we did was wrong."

Vox: "Again with the apology. After everything Heaven did to us? Why would any of us forgive you?"

The crowd resumes booing at the angels.

Abel: "Wowie wow. A lot of negativity here."

Vox: "Hollow, vapid words, mocking us with trinkets, thinking that could ever make up for our fallen sinner brethren. Taunting us with how little we matter to them."

The crowd angrily cheers.

Emily: "That's not--"

Vox: "Do you know how many sinners died in each extermination? Thousands."

Vox then shows the crowd images of the carnage displayed during each extermination on his screen.

Emily: "What?"

Charlie: "No, not the pictures. Stop. That's not what this is."

Vox: "First, Lucifer threatens us. Now this?"

Charlie: "Wait, what? Dad?"

Lucifer tries to sneak off without being seen.

Lucifer: "You do not see me. I am magical--"

Charlie: "Dad?!"

Lucifer stops in his tracks.

Lucifer: "I'm not here. You're dreaming. This is a dream. Bye."
