[──── 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙂𝙖𝙯𝙚. @PropertyofPride]

.... You're still my family, even if you're not the Lucifer I know.

【He stands after that, getting ready to turn away to leave.】

ᅠ
ᅠ Good, I expect you to remember this conversation well.

ᅠᅠ Run along now, go to your true family.

【It's entirely possible he might have started to cry a little once he looked away.】

.... Yes, Lucifer-sama. I understand.

ᅠ If you can't, let them help you.

ᅠᅠ You will be free eventually if you let the others help with things that you don't know.

I.....

.....

...I do want freedom, Lucifer....

💭: (Why is he trying to help me so bad .ᐣ I'm not worthy....)

.... I... thought I got over it... Guess not... How pathetic of me...

ᅠ Tell me. . .do you want to become a doll of others amusement .ᐣ

ᅠᅠ Or, do you want to be free .ᐣ

ᅠᅠᅠ Start deciding for yourself.

But.... But it bothers me so much because if she really thinks I'm some unfeeling robot that does nothing but takes my mother's orders all the time, then why does she get to pretend that incident never happened .ᐣ

Why do I have to live with this pain alone .ᐣ

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ𝙰𝚅𝙰𝚃𝙰𝚁ᅠ𝙾𝙵ᅠ𝙿𝚁𝙸𝙳𝙴ᅠ.ᐟ @ASTRA_RELICTA]

ᅠ If you can't accept that, then you are just like what she said.

ᅠᅠ A doll.

【He tells him everything about the last time he's spoken to his sister, and how everything she did and said to him came back to torment him yet again.】

ᅠ If you aren't a doll, then don't let it torment you.

ᅠᅠ That conversation happened a long time ago, you had changed very much in the present.

【He doesn't understand why he's going out of his way, but oh well. He doesn't question him.】

.... Mm... So... I remembered something. From my past....

ᅠ（ Without any words, he just grabbed Roselia by the arm and pulls him up, before walking to the living room to sit down on the couch. ）

ᅠᅠᅠ Go on.
ᅠ

[──── 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙂𝙖𝙯𝙚. @PropertyofPride]

... That's true. Very well. I'll indulge the offer, I suppose...

【Boy, why are you going to sit on the floor—】

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ𝙰𝚅𝙰𝚃𝙰𝚁ᅠ𝙾𝙵ᅠ𝙿𝚁𝙸𝙳𝙴ᅠ.ᐟ @ASTRA_RELICTA]

ᅠ
ᅠ Well. . .if I don't want to waste my time, I wouldn't be asking such requests, would I .ᐣ

Are you sure you'd want to waste your time on a wasted wind-up doll like me .ᐣ
