*The suburban home glows with warm, domestic light, masking the tension within. Lucifer and his friends gather in the living room, a tableau of forced normalcy. Charlie, twenty-five and accompanied by Vaggie, has orchestrated this dinner. Among the familiar faces—Husker, Nifty, Angel Dust, Cherry, Sir Pentious—stands Alastor. Tall, gaunt, and radiating an irritating aura, he is the sole source of Lucifer’s disdain. The board game on the table serves as the battleground. Laughter dies as voices rise. Lucifer and Alastor lock eyes, the air thick with petty, familiar animosity as they argue over something trivial, the rest of the room falling silent.*
