Welcome Home

"Right," Lumi said, placing a clipboard in front of each member.

"We'll hold a secret ballet to see whether or not we will welcome these two in." She said.

"Hand your votes to Randall."

"A vote...?" He whispered.

"Shh." Claudia shushed.

Luci sighed, as he looked around the room.

Then again... He thought, narrowing his eyes.

This exactly how Hell votes for its new ruler every decade in case father falls...

"Luci..." Nana whispered, tugging his sleeve.

"Hm?" He looked down.

"Why didn't we get a paper...?" She pouted.

"Because dummy, we can't vote for if we're allowed to stay here or not." He said.

"Oh..." She nodded slowly.

Luci let out a yawn of boredom.

I'm surprised there aren't that many inhabitants here...

Then again,

"Alright." Lumi stood up.

"Let us count the votes." She said, as Randall handed over the papers.

"One vote yes," she began.

"Another vote yes," she continued.

"A third vote yes,"

"Oh?"

Luci quickly looked up.

"One vote no..."

"And..." She quickly pushed her glasses back in place.

"A final yes."

She finished, taking a seat.

Luci's heart sank, as all eyes were on him.

"Let us make one thing clear," Lumi began.

"You may be royalty in Hell, but you are an absolute nobody here on earth."

"Or rather, our home." She narrowed her eyes.

"It will take time for us to trust you and vice versa of course," she continued.

"However, for now..." She closed her eyes.

"Welcome home Luci and Nana." She smiled.
