Lucifer: Raphael? What are you doing here?
Raphael: Oh, Lucifer, I was watching those two *pointing to a garden in the distance*
Simeon and Mc: *planting and tending to flowerpots and their flowers*
Lucifer: So they were the ones taking care of that stuff, it makes sense.
Raphael: *nodding*
Lucifer: *glancing at him sideways* But thatโs not why youโre here, is it?
Raphael: โฆ
Lucifer: *sigh* Raph-
Raphael: Itโs been a while since Iโve seen Simeon so happy, so relaxedโฆ in the Celestial Realm, he doesnโt smile like thatโฆ
Lucifer: Well, thatโs the effect Mc has *smiling*
Raphael: Maybe, but I think thereโs something else.
Lucifer: โฆ
Raphael: I think Simeon isnโt happy in the Celestial Realm anymore.
Lucifer: *widening his eyes*
Raphael: He hasnโt been for a long time, but it was that human who made him realize it.
Lucifer: *staring intently at his former companion*
Raphael: And I havenโt been able to realize itโฆ I havenโt been able to make him smile like that againโฆ
Lucifer: Thatโs not something you can control or fix; itโs not up to you.
Raphael: I know, thatโs why it makes me sad and angry.
Lucifer: About what?
Raphael: That I canโt choose his happiness over my sadness.
Both fell silent, watching from afar as that smile turned into laughter
