Acension city

[Long gone otter]

HAL looked at the stairs. "Is Amy still depressed?"

[Aconitum]

Satan nodded. "Yes." She shook her head. "We've tried everything."

[Long gone otter]

"What caused it?" HAL looked back at Satan, slightly concerned.

[Aconitum]

Satan sighed. "Well, his son died not too long ago." She crossed her arms and wiped at her eyes. "Then Alice..."

[Long gone otter]

HAL sighed a little. "Then Alice... What?"

[Aconitum]

"Alice killed herself." Satan wrung her hands as she thought.

[Long gone otter]

HAL walked closer to Satan. "Oh my god, Why did she do that?"

[Aconitum]

She shook her head. "They loved that child. More than anything."

[Long gone otter]

"I see, sorry for bringing the subject up..." HAL hugged Satan, hoping to make her feel better.

[Aconitum]

Satan sighed and closed her eyes. "No... it's fine." She stayed silent for a moment before she spoke again. "Do you need your father? Should I go fetch him?"

[Long gone otter]

Frank looked at the still full plate on the desk in front of Amy. "Please... Eat something."
Amy just stared out of the window, his eyes looked vacant of anything but sadness.
HAL stopped hugging Satan and nodded. "If it's not too troubling..."

[Aconitum]

Satan nodded and floated up the stairs to Amy's room. She gingerly opened the door. "Frank... darling?"

[Long gone otter]

Frank heard Satan and turned to face her. "He's still not eating..." He sighed.

[Aconitum]

Satan wrapped her arms around herself as she let her feet touch the ground. She sighed, making her way to her husband's side. "I'll see what I can do. HAL is here... and he's brought a friend."

[Long gone otter]

Frank nodded and kissed Satan on the cheek, before leaving and walking down stairs.
