who the fuck is lucifer

[Yes, he's sorry too — the part of him that feels guilt that is not his own is sorry, anyway. The part of him that's the literal Devil Lucifer, long since Fallen and having torn off two of his six wings, cares very little. What a funny mix of ideals he is, truly.]

...I don't know. I don't see how their lives were any more valuable than what I've already lost.

[Referring, of course, to the first three — the ways in which they crossed Lucifer haven't been revealed yet, and he's not so quick to say what it was, not because logic has won out but because in his ire he thinks everyone is on the same page as him. This isn't, and has never been, the case.]

Elizabeth and Minato will return to life ere long, as Inaba did, as Bonnie did, as many others have and will. I'm not perturbed.

[It says something that he hasn't outright attacked Komaeda for what would otherwise be seen as insolence; Lucifer has little respect for the man, but that's just because he's Lucifer and he has little respect for anyone he hasn't put on his own pedestal. In some ways, the fact that Lucifer hasn't lashed out despite his earlier comments might speak of a certain level of respect, enough to where he's willing to listen but not enough to where he's willing to gain any positive feelings toward the other. Or, perhaps, he simply needs the catharsis of someone listening to him, and the otherwise-scathing comments are able to be ignored.

Still, his statement that Liz and Minato will return is certainly an interesting one, is it not? Would those who he made his retribution about not return ere long too? It's a conundrum to be certain, and Lucifer's eyes gleam with a certain awareness. He knows, he recognizes, but who knows how long it'll be anyway; the point of his message was not to say that he's unaware of this purgatory, but to make it clear that should he be taken from again, worse things will happen.

It's better for everyone if everyone lives. Such is not how things work out here.

There are a lot of things going through Lucifer's head, and this, frankly, is why he disconnects from his emotions. The hypocrisy of the human existence is something that Lucifer shares in common with them. Some might see it as humanizing something inhuman; others might think a demon is degrading himself by being like mortals. Lucifer cares naught for either argument.]

I would not take it back, however. The consequences they all suffered were because each of them crossed me in a very specific fashion. I have respect for Elizabeth and Minato, friends as we were; I have no respect for the three I left hanging.
