The endless Void, The gazing abyss, The bottomless ocean of horror...It coiled itself around your tender heart

Lucifer had died before, and always a sacrifice to end a threat (and to save those he cared about)

but he was never truly dead, he like his family were eternal in a very sure sense - they would die and be reborn again, whether the memories would be re-triggered (and thus themself whole) varied from life to life for certain when they did they'd have to live knowing everything of that life they cared about would die long before they did.

surely madness waited for something with a life like that (and sometimes it did, lucidity and madness trading turns but never wholesale forever)

Luciferus was old and never far from weariness (though he tries to hide it, but he knows some see it in him) and truly the one true joys he ever gets is the friends he makes - the only thing higher is when he spots someone he knew reborn again.

so he does feel that when he knows exactly who it is Deldrach has stumbled upon - but what follows is crushing emptiness because he knows like the inevitability of the end, that Luca will not remember him (it is the way of cycles after all, even if Luca was not like the true blood family he came from, he is his brother all the same)

he - for once - doesn't move to say anything or even really interact bar watching Del and the reborn Luca (it hurts too much to try and know you only get a blank look in return, another sword in his back) so he stays back - his more frightening appearance would probably not help ease him either - and doesn't speak up, the weight of gaining and yet loss a chokehold again.
