remastered.

[ brackets like these ] is the narrator speaking

you weren't staring in.

you were staring out.

the night 'sky' was a portal, of some sorts. it warped and shifted everytime your eyes looked up.

you can't see it, but it's in the corner of your eyes, just out of your reach as you turn your head, and it disappears once more.

you know something—someone—was watching you.

it was a burning sensation you wanted to get rid of.

but, no one comments on it. so you don't.

....

it was an accident, you promised.

you were lying in bed, scrolling through your ddd. however, there was a different app you've never seen before.

a 'settings' app, you've never downloaded any apps, they've downloaded themselves for your convience.

curiously, you tapped on it. before something.. odd, appeared infront of you.

a control panel.

you sat up, scanning the gray panel infront of you, it floated ominously, like it was begging to be used.

sadly, you gave into the temptation, just this once.

..character files.

you felt sick to your stomach.

files about all your friends, it had everything about them. their attributes, their personalities.

the brothers were there, luke, simeon, god, even diavolo and his butler.

one thing stood out, though.

a single, red button.

delete.

you felt shivers spring all around your body, and before you could blink, the control panel disappeared, and the burning sensation was back.

you grabbed your ddd off your nightstand, and turned it on, swiping through your apps.

the settings app was gone.

and your vision was gone, too.

..when did it become morning?

[ a knock was heard from your door. ]

..you didn't hear anything.

[ i said, a knock was heard from your door. ]

you got up, and walked over to investigate the noise.

it was mammon, he looked worried, and started to chastise you, hiding his true feelings with an angered look.

"whatever, let's just go eat breakfast." mammon sighed, before walking off.

you swore he disappeared before he turned the corner.

[ he turned the corner, what're you talking about? ]

you followed mammon towards the kitchen, and saw everyone else waiting for you.

a couple of 'good mornings' were shsred, before breakfast was laid out on the table.

did it look more bland than usual?

[ it's mammon's turn to cook, that's why. ]

it looked like cardboard, you poked it with your fork.

when were you holding a fork?

when did you sit down?

[ sit up and eat. ]

you took a bite out of your eggs, and it barely tasted like anything. it didn't taste like anything at all.

[ it tasted delicious. ]

[ mammon's food always looked bland, but it was worth it in the end. ]

you inhaled and took another bite.

your vision fades to black.

..rad? why're you at rad?

[ you walked here with the brothers, didn't you? ]

no, you swear you-

[ look, the bell rung, time to head to class. ]

no bell could be heard, but you shut up and listened anyways.

"ah, [ name ]?"

..that was your name.

you paused in your steps, turning around to see a white haired male.

solomon.

"oh, hey solomon." you waved towards him, and he smiled.

he was an enigma, you didn't really get him, but you still gravitated towards him.

anytime you tried talking to him however, something would always butt in, whether it's one of the brother's needing assistance or class pulling you away from each other.

"i was just wondering, are you alright?" solomon tilted his head slightly, his smile fell into a soft frown. "you haven't been looking all that upbeat lately."

"ah, i'm fine! studying really hits hard on the brain." you waved him off, solomon only nodded, and you doubt that he believed you.

"let's take a short walk?" solomon offered, and you smiled, agreeing with him.

[ the devildom streets were partially empty, consdering everyone was at school. ]

but you saw nobody in the halls except for you and solomon.

you both stopped at a bench, sitting down before solomon turned to you.

"anyways, i wanted to talk to you about something." solomon began.

[ how strange. ]

"yeah? go ahead." you nodded, allowing him to move forward.

"so.. i discovered something.. weird." the sorcerer looked to the side, internally conflicting with himself.

"you can tell me, i'm good at keeping secrets." you lightheartedly joked, hearing solomon chuckle a bit before shaking his head.

"have you seen this 'settings' app?" solomon raised his ddd, his eyes setting directly onto you.

[ you froze. ]

[ "no, not at all." you state, shrugging. ]

solomon looked up, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly, before looking down at you.

"ah.. guess i've been seeing things, huh?" solomon tried smiling, but dropped it immediately.

"..listen.. i think.. i think we're-"

your vision turned darker, and his voice grew quieter.

"...no! w...wait, i didn't get to-"

[ man, history was boring. ]

[ the school bell rung once more, and you exited your classes, heading back to the house of lamentation. ]

. . .

it was bound to happen, really, you didn't think it was this quickly, though.

"#@$&, step aside, now!" lucifer's rage was something nobody should mess with, but what was harmful with a little fun now and then?

[ a lot of things, you're going to get hurt. ]

"^@&:%! look out!" levi called, reaching out towards you.

you couldn't hear your name anymore, static filled your ears, it was becoming repetitive by now.

[ watch out, lucifer is about to attack you. ]

you stood your ground and hadn't faltered. the fallen angel facing towards you looked more angrier.

[ lucifer is going to attack you. ]

[ do something. ]

the control panel. use it.

you flipped your ddd out, and scrolled through your apps, desperately trying to find the settings app.

[ call out to levi. ]

there it was, the gray app illuminated from your ddd and you pushed it frantically.

[ call out to mammon. ]

the gray control panel opened before you, the files, they were all there, freshly served for you.

[ call out to anyone. ]

lucifer's file was first, and the red button was still there for use.

[ don't delete the file. ]

you deleted the file.

[ your vision slowly faded to black. ]

.

.

.

perhaps they were lying.

you could hear your labored breathing, you're still here, your vision was still here.

so where are you?

"sorry, sorry, i'm having a bit of an.. issue." an awkward chuckle echoed throughout your ears, and you spun around to see him.

solomon, he was tinkering with the gray panel you've seen..

wait, what?

"you must be thinking about a lot, aren't you?" solomon gave you a closed eyed smile, his brows furrowing before he explained himself.

"you deleted lucifer's file, did you not?" solomon asked, and your face contorted, how..?

"don't worry, i'm confused just as you are." he tried comforting you, but really, there was no comfort in the dark void. it felt cold, but there was no wind.

"i guess lucifer's file was the most important one, isn't that funny?" solomon chuckled dryly. "all of the other files are gone, too."

"d..did.. i?" your throat felt dry.

"you didn't mean to, you know."

"but.. i killed them! lucifer, oh god!"

solomon smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "at one point, i did too."

there was no voices, just the two of them.

"hey.. can i fix this? how do i fix this?" you frantically looked around, perhaps letting lucifer attack you was a better option.

"don't worry, don't worry." solomon shook his head. "the database will check the files and see that they're gone, they'll be back soon enough.

solomon studied your face, he knew you were unconvinced.

"i deleted lucifer too, it was an accident, the first time i ever opened the control panel." solomon randomly started, catching you off guard.

"why don't i remember this?" you asked, and solomon shrugged.

"who knows?"

"oh."

solomon reached his arms out, offering a hug.

who were you to deny?

he wrapped his arms around you, his warmth spreading to you.

"i promise." solomon thought, gripping you tighter.

[ lucifer.chr and 10+ files not found. ]

"i'll save you."

[ restarting system. ]

"i'll free you from this hell."

you were gone, and solomon was the only one left.

"we'll both leave this world alive."

[ [ name ].chr not found. ]

solomon closed his eyes, forcing his vision to fade away.

[ restarting from last save. ]

please.. this didn't include that much love💀 my bad yall, but this was a fun one! also, it's kind of implied you and solomon are together
also plot twist he was the sentient one, not you?!?
