[While he's guarding over some bodies... Hey he has questions. Alternatively might be starting a fight.]
What is it that drives humans? Or, perhaps more aptly, non-demons? Mortals? Whatever you slot yourselves under, what makes you do the things you do?
Why do you unrelentingly get into strife with one another — incriminating murderers, only to turn around and commit a murder yourself moments later and being shocked when others despise you, rinse and repeat ad infinitum until everyone's hands have been bloodied? Is it vengeance? Survival?
In the end, why do you forgive the people who you spend hours condemning? Are they absolved of sin because you say they are? Are you simply tired of fighting?
Demons and mankind are quite similar. I believe we're all guilty of the same things — all of you are so far from Heaven's Gates that it's laughable, same as myself. The events of the last month have me thinking about all of that, and...
Those of you who think you're going to Heaven at the end of your life, assuming here is not your final destination: Why is that?
Just some questions. Have a nice night.

action;
She didn't really know him for long, and he made it crystal clear to everyone that he didn't really know her at all. But... it wasn't as if there wasn't something she really wanted. Hell, she wouldn't be lying if she said she had someone she'd kill for back home.
So, the question to her-- it's obvious. ]
We're driven by want, of course. Some want to be rich, some want to be loved, some want to have their cake and eat it too.
[ Although, it didn't feel like he was really expecting to be necessarily popular after the fact. ]
Ha~ah. It's a shame.

To Lucifer, this is just humanity. Killing, implicating, vindicating, condemning, repeating. From a philosophical standpoint, it's interesting. From a standpoint of "these were humans I knew that have passed on", it's saddening. From a standpoint of "I've lived a thousand, thousand of your lives, so I would have said goodbye at some point anyway", it's simply life.]
"Want"... yes, I suppose that does make sense. As a demon, I can't fully comprehend the scope of humanity. We act on pure impulse because we know we've already been cast out of society. Humans are funny in that they oftentimes try to control these primal urges — there's a reason the lot of you walk on the ground instead of flying in the air.
[Which is to say: you're all closer to Hell than you want to be. Than you think you are.]
Still, it makes me wonder about what happened here. They're sleeping peacefully, undisturbed, until I beat the door down anyway. If they died in pain, it would've shown on their faces.
...
I wonder if it really was a murder at all.
no subject
[ No true consequences except the ultimate one, and it sounded like he died with someone he actually cared for. Really, it's a kind of beautiful end to a life. ]
Those urges can be pretty powerful. After all, humanity didn't accept that they couldn't fly-- so we invented the airplane. One thing I'm sure of is that if you do want something that much, then a human won't be stopped until they get it.
[ Another elongated sigh. ]
I didn't know the guy that long, but it feels like I knew him pretty well in the end.

He imagines dying, holding onto his brothers, and then shakes the thought off.]
That's also quite true of humankind. You aspire to do things that we demons can simply get. Well, other than getting into Heaven, of course. I'm almost positive I'm banned.
[He chuckles; it's not like he wants to go back.]
Are you sad to see them in this state, then, if you feel that way?
no subject
[ Far, far too many Darkstalkers left alive, so much money left to collect. Hopefully they're not being snapped up by the other hunters while she's gone... ]
Mm... I don't know if it's sadness. I suppose it's something more like... disappointment?
no subject
[He hasn't forgotten about the demon-slaying, of course, but she isn't the first demon-slayer he's befriended here. Lucifer's content at the moment — doesn't really get the appeal of heaven and demon-slaying when demons are obviously super cool, but whatever.]
Disappointment... I suppose that makes sense. I'm a touch melancholy, I suppose.
[Aside from his general "I don't understand you humans" blah blah philosophy networking right now, it's not like he hated Amami or Keigo. The latter, he didn't know, but Amami, he'd spoken to in the past. He was somewhat fond of the kid, he supposes, in a way that's like being fond of a betta fish that dies six months later. A touch saddened, but able to move on.]
