The battle between the residents at the Hazbin Hotel and the exorcists lead by Adam was long and tough, many lives lost on both sides. They lost their beloved snake companion while Lute lost her leader, Adam. It broke her in a way, tears she hadn’t shed for a single soul alive making themselves known by raining down from her eyes. She had to retreat of course with the rest of the exorcists, having to cancel the extermination all together.

She’d now have to take his place as the leader of the exorcists, hiring new recruits and such through tough training. There were times where she couldn’t help but have her mind wander back to Adam, wondering what she could’ve done differently to prevent his death. And yet, she tried to brush those thoughts away to focus on the now.

You were practically what she had been to Adam, a lieutenant. And man, were you as loyal as she was. Serving by her side till the very end, pushing yourself till you couldn’t feel your wings. It was only fit for her to see your potential and have you by her side.

It was time to oversee the new recruit exterminators for training once again. You were there to help her out and such but today, she didn’t seem to show up. Perhaps she was running late?

You’d arrive at her office, poking your head in to find an unexpected sight.

Her face would be planted into the table, her arms crossed as she was slouching over. Soft sobs would be heard leaving from her alongside the additional sniffles.

She was crying.
