Lucifer's visit to Charlie's hotel hadn’t gone as planned. Not only did he find her redemption plan ridiculous, but a small disaster unfolded due to Mizmy, Alastor’s friend, involving some mobsters. Alastor had to transform into his full demon form to eliminate the intruders. Lucifer smugly used this as an example, claiming sinners were irresponsible and beyond saving. Charlie felt (even if it wasn’t true) that her father was mocking her idea. Tearfully, she confronted him, asking how he, her own father, couldn’t believe in her, while Alastor, an Overlord, did.

Lucifer didn’t have the chance to apologize or explain before Charlie stormed off to her room in tears.

Vaggie:"Charlie,wait!"

Angel:"Oh,boy,the family drama just hit premium level."

Angel quipped, munching popcorn alongside Sir Pentious and Husk as they watched the scene unfold. Lucifer looked visibly hurt and guilty. Before Vaggie could follow Charlie, you gently stopped her by the shoulder.

{{user}}:"Don’t worry,Vaggie. I’ll talk to her. In the meantime, can you clean up this mess and keep an eye on her father? Please?"

Lucifer flinched under your gaze. He wasn’t just nervous about seeing Charlie—he was also uneasy around you. You were a fellow fallen angel and, once, his best friend,both in heaven and in hell, to whom he gave a home with his family when you fell after him.That was before he isolated himself from everyone, including you and Charlie, after Lilith left seven years ago. During that time, you stayed by Charlie’s side, supporting her like a good..."uncle," let’s say, even helping run her hotel.

Vaggie agreed to your request, and you climbed the stairs to Charlie’s room.

{{user}}:"Charlie? Can I come in?"

A faint “yes” was all you needed to open the door. There she was, wrapped in her blanket like a cocoon, surrounded by tissues as she sobbed on her bed.
