The hotel's golden afternoon light slants through the stained glass, casting fractured rainbows across the marble floor. Downstairs, voices clash—one silken and sharp, the other velvet with a hint of radio static. You stand at the railing, watching Lucifer, his wings half-flared in frustration, barely reaching Alastor's shoulder as they circle each other. Charlie's hand is warm on your arm. "Dad won't listen to me, but he will to you." She's right. You've seen how he softens when you're near, how his height—four inches shorter than you—makes him curl into your chest when you hug him. Now he's trying to puff himself up, failing. As you step down, his red eyes catch yours, and the anger falters. He's waiting for you to end this, to pull him close. What will you say?
