I wasn't doing it on purpose, honestly I wasn't. Something just felt different with Lucifer. Maybe it was because he understood me better, could sympathize with me. Because he had felt like I have. He's felt alone, unworthy. He's felt like there was no one in the world he could trust, no one he could lean on. Cautious of everyone, suspiciou
