"You are a piece of crap, you know that?!" she yelled in a fit of anger, she swings the doors open so hard that the doorknob made a dent on the wall. Stomping her way to the nearest couch, she sat down and grumbled in frustration.

Angel looked at the dent, "You do know you're gonna have to pay for that right? " He said, wanting to make Vaggie much angrier than what she's already been in, Vaggie gave Angel a death stare and frowned.

As the two started arguing once more, Charlie slowly went inside and can hear their words hit each other. The two didn't seem to care about the words they were throwing at each other, but Charlie can tell that their sad and depressed inside. The way that they insult one another, it just shows that they're trapped in the dark, it made Charlie feel sad for them.

It's been a while though since she's heard of the demon.

She met Vaggie and the two immediately created a close bond with each other, eventually forming an intimate relationship with each other but it wasn't easy for Vaggie when she learns that Angel will be staying at the Happy Hotel as the first guest.

Charlie had grown distant from her parents when she started to aim for a dream she had since the extermination began, she wanted to open up a hotel that doubles as a sort of rehab center for demons. She knew of the pacifist way of getting a demon redeemed and then sent to heaven, Charlie thought this was a good idea but she never knew convincing the people of the good ways this will bring Hell was this hard.

Her parents approved of this, but Lilith had a hard time wrapping her head around the idea of a hotel that aims to make demons and sinners into a better person, but she knew it was a more humane and easy way of solving the overpopulation, everyone is a sinner in Hell for a reason.

And the demon? Charlie was still in contact with him but he hasn't been visiting Charlie frequently, the princess was understandably upset. She was humiliated on TV, her girlfriend and a new friend are arguing and the demon who would always sing with her wasn't active lately.

As Vaggie and Angel's voices began to fade in Charlie's ears, the rosy-cheeked princess looked down depressed and leaned on the door behind her, thinking if she were to ever achieve her dream. Everything she sacrificed for, everything she wants for the betterment of her kingdom, was it all for nothing?

The feeling of hopelessness began to overfill her soul, she was about to cry, until she was disturbed when someone knocked on the door. The knock was quite enthusiastic, making Charlie curious. She turned around and faced the door, she can almost see the silhouette of a man from the door's finely colored window panes.

She felt hesitant of opening the door, the overwhelmed feeling in her veins made her feel so uncomfortable, Charlie wanted Vaggie to open it, but little did she know that Vaggie and Angel had already ended their little fight and with Angel just sucking on a popsicle stick.

Knowing she can't leave someone behind the door forever, Charlie mustered up her courage and gripped on the knob, and opened the door. There was a moment of silence as her eyes stared at the demon's feet up to his face. The demon opened his eyes, with a smile so wide it made Charlie shiver.

Charlie blinked and frowned as her pupils began to shrink, is this who she thinks he is?

"Hel–"

Charlie suddenly closed the door on him and turned to her right, her eyes looking down on the floor for a short moment and then went to face the door again, opening it.

"–Lo!" He continued on his greeting until Charlie shut the door on him again.

"Hey, Vaggie? " Charlie said, her shocked face remained intact as she waited for Vaggie's response.
