H for Hades

~Shepherd~ 

Being here would have been a dream come true for me just a year ago. I would have leaped at the chance to be home, and now….. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but fuck this place. It doesn't feel the way it used too. It feels like something very important is missing. And you don't have to tell me what it is for me to know. It's Noelle. She's a presence that is memorable. Someone you can't forget because she left such a huge impression on our lives. 

Hades hands a small toy to Lynx, and she thanks him for it. Then our little girl waddles over to Lucifer, and she grabs his hand. His large palm covers her tiny one immediately, and he provides a squeeze for reassurance. Hades appears amused, even more than he was earlier. 

"Would someone explain this to me?"

Dante glances to me, and I resign with a nod. Why do I have to be the one talking?
