You... really want that? [ His precious Charlie. She is so strong, stronger than he could have ever imagined or dared to hope, and it fills a part of him with something difficult to name. A cup that had been empty, but Charlie gives of herself to make sure it isn't. It's what happens when she's given so much of herself that she no longer has anymore to give that he fears so much. ]
You have such a beautiful way of looking at life, one... we don't find down here. It reminds me so m- ... you make people believe, even when there's no hope. You bring out the good in people.
[ Lucifer pulls his head back enough that he can properly look her in the eyes, his own trying to show he means what he says, every word of it, no matter his current mental state or mood. ]
I believe in your dream, Charlie. I do, ever since you and your friends showed me I was wrong. I... I wanted, want, you to understand that... it's not all sunshine and rainbows up there. You have this hope of redemption that's so set on Heaven and it's- that doesn't mean it's a good place.
...I don't want your dream to shatter knowing that, either.
