I'm sorry

~M/n's pov~

' So, what did I miss?' I asked, sitting on the bed that became mine starting that night. Me and my sister look at each other as we get ourselves comfortable. I had changed into a comfy white t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants she bought me using the money she earned. Gosh, how she had grown~ T T .

' Well, this and that happened.' she hugged one of the plushies she have on her bed as she lay down and started her stories. Sometimes, she laughs at the funny moments as she reminisces it. I just chuckle along with her hearing that it is quite hilarious. I mean, getting hanged as a punishment and no one wanted to help for more than a week, so the said demon cries until the floor was so wet that she slipped because of it. Who wouldn't laugh?

Sometimes she expressed her frustrations, flinging her hands in the air as she half shouted, cursing the demon who caused her distress. One of it was when she was forced to eat Beel's pudding and it leads to the wall of her room to fall. But the kitchen was out of order and everyone had to eat out for a few days because of his pathetic plan. And you know how it goes after that.

Sometimes her voice showed a little sadness in her tone as she hug the plushie tighter. She didn't cry despite her usually called crybaby back in the human realm. I guess she got stronger? She said that at times, she would feel homesick, and it all started when Beel texted her, asking if she have a brother. She missed me just as much as I missed her. I got up and climb on her bed to give her a hug, maybe to console her a little for the times she didn't have me by her side.

I lay down next to her as she talk about all the supernatural things that happen around here. Talking paintings, underground labyrinth, giant snakes, being inside a game and even the time that she got to use magic since Solomon lend her his. Well, I don't know which one is Solomon yet, but I guess I'll meet him tomorrow.

We were chatting when we heard a knock on the door.

' I'll get it.' I said as I got up, patting MC's head.

When I open the door, Satan is standing in front of me, holding some garments and something that kinda look like a phone on top of it.

' Ah, is this my uniform?' I inquired, taking it from him when he hand it to me.

' Yeah. That's D.D.D, you can ask MC since she had been using it here. You have the same schedule with me at school, so after breakfast we'll go to RAD together.' he replied, putting on a smile.

' He didn't seem to look like someone with anger issues to me. Maybe he learn how to control it over the years?' I thought to myself.

' Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Have a good night.' I bid him goodnight, putting on a friendly smile.

' You too.' he replied, starting to walk away.

I close the door and put my stuff on my bed.

' So, what happened to you?'

The question caught me off guard. I was actually about to ask her about the gadget I received when she dropped the bomb. The room was filled with silence as the moments of a few months back replays through my mind. I was not moving at all within the moment of silence, my eyes grew hazy before slowly going back to reality. I pondered wether I should tell the truth or not. Finally decided that lying won't get me anywhere, I turn to look at her concerned face, already sitting up on her bed. Did I take too long to finally give a respond?

' U-um... Around the time you disappeared, I-I tried to call you but you didn't answer.  I thought that you might be staying at a friend's home for the night and forgot to tell me. So, the next morning, I tried searching for you around the neighborhood. But...' I paused, feeling my heart constricted at those torturing moments I was reminiscing.

' ... When I asked around, they all said I never had a sister...' My vision started to go blurry as if my consciousness is pulled away from the reality and was slowly put back to the times I feel the world crumbling over...

•°•.•°Flashback°•.•°•

I was walking around the neighborhood, trying to at least catch a glimpse of my sister. Looking around, I saw one of her friend and approached her.

' Excuse me. Have you seen MC?' I asked the girl. She looked at me as if she was looking at a stranger,

' Um, Who's MC?'

I look at her, shock that she didn't know her own friend. Didn't MC went to her house a few times?

' Doesn't she go to your school?' I asked back, panic-stricken by her reaction.

' There's no one goes by that name in my school. Who are you, mister?' the girl shot back.

I was flabbergasted. I apologize for taking her time and bid her goodbye, causing her face to be paint with confusion. I ran aimlessly around the neighborhood, pulling out my phone to call her.

No answer.

I called her for few more times but to no avail. I decided to call my friend, f/n, since he did stop by at our house a few times and they sometimes strike a conversation as I was cooking.

' What's up? What's wrong, M/n?'

' F/n, have you seen MC? She hasn't come home since last night! I don't know where she's been! She didn't pick up my calls!'

' ... Who?'

' MC, my sister! You talked to her a few times before!'

' Dude... You're pranking me, aren't you? You live alone. Who are you talking about?'

' ... What?' I felt a sudden pang from his statement, not believing what he is saying.

' You told me before that you're an only child. Who's MC? Are you sick right now?'

~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

I look down at my shaking hands, terrified at what I've been through.

' I keep on looking... Even went to the police only to be told that you're never existed in their system. I... I was called crazy but I didn't care. I just want to find you. When I got back to our house, all your stuff is still there. Even your pictures are unscathed, all your smiles captured in the frame became proof that you existed in my life... But outside... It seems as if your existence was erased out of convenience.' I broke down, tears flowing rapidly as I heave.

' I keep on looking for you, but nothing came up... I feel lost... depressed... Losing you did take a toll on me. I feel like nothing was left, family is all gone, my friends left me thinking I was crazy.' I look at her, trying to gather some strength for the next sentence.

' I'm sorry, MC... I jumped off from our apartment.' I look down again, clenching my fists as I reminisces the moment I decided to give in to the voices.

Then, I feel arms wrapping around my torso tightly.

' You don't have to say sorry. You had it harder than me. It's okay. I'm here now.' she said in a croaky voice as she cried with me. I rest my head on her shoulder, sobbing my heart out.

' I thought I lost you. I can't afford to lose you after we lost our parents. I just can't. And I lost all the meaning in life when you weren't there.' I muttered between the sobs. We stayed like that until both of us decided that it is bedtime. We cuddled with each other to console each other for all the things we had to go through before...

~3rd person pov~

' Shit... I didn't expect it to get that dark.'

A person had been eavesdropping the siblings throughout their catching up session all along. Sorry, demon. He didn't expect to discover what had happened to the person he's in charge of that way.

When Satan heard the question thrown at M/n just when he was about to go away, his curiousity got the best of him and decided to stay. He had been wondering what causes him to suddenly appear here and he had heard that he committed suicide. But he didn't know what had been the cause of it. Now that he heard all of that, he can't help but feel guilty for eavesdropping on them like that. He left and walk aimlessly in the hallway, thinking about the things he had discovered.

' Satan, what are you doing here?'

Guess Lucifer is doing his rounds right now. He was about to punish Satan for wandering around past curfew, but seeing him looking lost in his thoughts made him contemplate on wether to do so or not. He caught up to his little brother and tap lightly on his shoulder, earning a surprise jump from the latter.

' A-ah... It's you, Lucifer.'

' What's wrong? You seem to be so deep in your thoughts that you didn't hear me earlier.'

' ... Nothing.'

' That doesn't sound 'nothing' to me.'

' . . . '

' Did you go eavesdropping on someone?'

Bullseye.

' . . . '

' So, I was right. Your tendency to go eavesdropping on people is high. Don't think I didn't realize you've been eavesdropping on me in the past.'

' Huh... You noticed but you ignored it?'

' Because it's harmless. What did you hear this time?'

' . . . '

Satan ponders if he should confide in to his brother, seeing that it's quite personal for the person involved.

' ... I don't know if I can tell you about it...'

' Does it have to do with the new human?'

Satan nodded, guilt is evident on his face.

' If it's related to how he got here, you should tell me. I need to inform Diavolo before he goes to meet with the higher ups.' Lucifer concludes, seeing that Satan had a complicated feelings on the topic.

' ... I heard the things that happened before he.. died.'

' What..?'

' Everyone in the human realm seemed forgot the existence of MC except for him and he suffered greatly from the ordeal. I... I'm sorry, Lucifer... I shouldn't have eavesdropped on them.' Satan look down, guilt is burdening his heart as if there are claws clenching it.

Lucifer thought about it long. But he focus back to his little brother looking so down. He pats Satan's head.

' At least you know that it's wrong. But what's done is done and you can't help it. It's a demon's nature to feed on our curiousity. Don't tell other people about it, okay?' Lucifer consoled him.

' Okay...'

' If you want to, we can have a chat in my study over some tea. I don't think you can sleep with this condition.'

' Yeah...'

They both walked through the halls in complete silence. It felt comfortable for both of them as they drown themselves in their own thoughts. The sound of their footsteps echoes through the silent hallways, creating rythms like a music their ears.

' Thanks, Lucifer.' Satan said. Lucifer just smiled and it stayed on his face throughout the night...
