[Lucifer holds up a hand, and an invisible umbrella seems to form over him.
He doesn't particularly mind rain, but you know. Would hate to get his clothes wet.]
If I told you, it'd spoil the fun, wouldn't it?
... At the end of the day, they'll be defeated and alone, and that's where I need them. [He sighs, looking sadly to the ground. A hand moves over his heart; Sam's heart. Lucifer's heart, now, whether Sam likes it or not.] It hurts me to do it, believe it or not... but sometimes we have to do the difficult things no one else will, to help someone see reason.
[ Mako doesn't think any of this is particularly fun or any kind of reasonable way to teach someone a lesson, but obviously nothing about Sam is reasonable. ]
If it hurts you to do something— [ More thunder claps, and the rain picks up, pelting sideways. Mako dreams of rain sometimes, unending and cold, winding its way under his thin skin and dousing his flames. ] —maybe it's because you shouldn't be doing it!
[ He says, as Fritter shoves her nose into his ear and lets out a hard sniffle. More thunder claps overhead, and the arena starts to fracture under them, rumbling ominously. Mako steadies himself, glaring through the pelting rain, and shouts over the thunder: ]
[Glancing around at the thunder and pelting rain, Lucifer just smiles like the bastard he is.]
Even when I leave, Mako, I'll still be in your head. And his.
In one way or another.
[He turns back, suddenly, to Wu's form — but Lucifer is gone from the dream now. Much like a magician's sheet crumples to the earth without the performer beneath, the corpse falls, gracelessly, across the fracturing earth; soon it will be eaten up by the widening cracks that grow beneath it.]
[ Mako watches, half-frozen for a moment as Wu's form crumbles like it did out there in the forest, the life gone from thin limbs.
Not again.
Lightning fractures the sky, and Mako bolts for the crack with a hand outstretched, knowing with the certainty of the dreamer that it's too late but also that he has to catch Wu anyway.
He wakes up with hard yell of Wu's name on his lips, alone. ]
