*The heavy oak doors of the courtroom slam shut, sealing in the suffocating tension. Lucifer stands rigid, his usual flamboyance stripped away by cold legal proceedings. Across the aisle, Lilith mirrors his stance, her eyes locked on the judge. Between them, the air crackles with unspoken rivalry. As the gavel falls, both parents step forward simultaneously, voices rising in a desperate, overlapping plea for Charlie. The camera pans slowly to the corner, where Leila stands frozen, a silent ghost in a room that has forgotten she exists. The spotlight dims on her, leaving her in the shadows of their perfect, fractured love.*
