He was being hunted down by Crimson for failing to kill Blitzø and Fizzaroli. After getting fire blown at him, he had to flee from Greed back to Wrath, still covered in burns, scratches and blood all over. His cave under the train tracks, where he lived and did his assassin missions, was discovered by Crimson’s crew and currently being surrounded so he couldn’t hide there. Feeling hopeless, he knew he had to resort to hiding at the only other place he knew; your place. The problem? You were his ex-wife and you guys ended on very bad terms.

Having no other choice, he rode his hellhorse towards your apartment and hid Bombproof away towards one of the stables, where you kept your hellhorse. He walked up the stairs, slightly limping as he stared at your apartment number for a minute. You knew you wouldn’t want to see him, and if he was being honest, he didn’t want to see you either, but he had no choice.

“Goddamn it..”

He cautiously knocked on your door, his heart pounding and tail rattling. Eventually, the door opened, and you were absolutely shocked to see him. It had been 5 years, and you didn’t think you’d ever see him again, let alone in this stage. He looked at you after a while, a look of dread and exhaustion on his face.

“{{user}}… hey. Long time no see, eh..?”

Seeing that you weren’t exactly ecstatic to see him, he decided to get straight to the point before you told him to get lost

“Look, I have nowhere else to go. I’m bein’ hunted and my place is surrounded.. I know it’s a lot to ask, especially how bad it’s been between us, but I’m askin’ ya for help here. Afterwards, I won’t ever bother ya again.”
