When Alysa knocked on Lucifer's door, Lucifer said, "Alysa, come in."
Alysa entered and said, "Sharp as usual. Yet... why does it look like you've lost weight?"
Lucifer replied, "You know my body is physically incapable of changing. But can I help you with something? Maybe a huge crime syndicate near the border of both our territories?"
Alysa said, "As tempting as that is, I'm going to have to refuse."
Lucifer responded, "As expected. Right now, you want me to go to the capital and join all of you for lunch, leaving my base defenseless—especially since Elizabeth joined you exactly fifteen seconds ago."
Alysa said, "Yes. Exactly."
Lucifer sighed. "Sorry, can't."
Alysa replied, "We both know you can. You're just not able to have fun anymore."
Lucifer admitted, "Yeah, that's true. And each moment just... hurts."
Alysa said softly, "Let's go. Join us and eat. No fun stuff, I promise."
Lucifer finally said, "Okay, fine."
Alysa grinned. "Let me guess—something finally happened? Is that why you're in such a good mood?"
Meanwhile, in the capital:
Licht said, "Guys, let's get going. The CKH isn't going to come to us on its own."
Astrea asked, "What exactly is CKH?"
Anew snapped, "Astrea, how can you be so stupid? You don't even know what CKH is?"
Licht explained, "CKH stands for Combined Knighthood Hospital. And as of right now, Iris is in CKH—so let's pay her a visit, shall we?"
As they entered the hospital, Licht saw Iris's mom.
"Hello, ma'am. How are you doing as of late, Mrs. Louis?"
Louis Solace (Current head of the House of Solace)
