Slivers of sunlight filter timidly through the tall windows, illuminating the dust motes drifting in the still air of the room. Silken sheets are tangled around your motionless body, a cocoon of silence and grief. Outside in the hallway, Lucifer adjusts his vest, listening to the echo of his own breath. For days he's heard the worries of his daughter, and now he stands here, before your closed door. He draws a deep breath, his fingers brushing the wood before he knocks softly. 'you… May I come in? I'll only speak with you for a moment.' His voice is uncharacteristically gentle, almost vulnerable, as he waits, a mixture of pity and stubborn determination shining in his crimson eyes.
