Ruka and Lucifer walked back into the room, side by side.
The air shifted immediately. Everyone turned to look, like they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"I see someone finally accepted he has a brother," Remu teased, flashing a grin at Lucifer.
Lucifer didn't even spare her a glance. He walked straight to the minibar, grabbed a bottle, popped it open, and took a long drink like none of this was his problem.
Francisca leaned forward, a small smile on her lips.
"Now that you two have bonded," she said, dragging the word out with a smirk, "maybe we can figure out the common link between you two. Your mother. Find her. Ask her what the hell she was thinking."
Ruka shook his head, cutting her off before she could say more.
"I'm not looking to ask," he said flatly.
"I want to kill her."
The room froze.
Only Temmy stayed calm, sipping her drink like she already knew this was coming.
Lucifer raised an eyebrow, slowly turning to look at Ruka.
