Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
First Impression: This really completes the story of this family quite well I think. Its very powerful to see those tragic events play out through the eyes of the youngest member who seems to have lost so much happiness without ever being able to play a part in anything.
Anyway let's get right to it,
Once upon a time,in a place humans all know as Hell,The devil and his adult son were screaming at each other.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! IF YOU DIDN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT WITCH WOMAN,WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!" The devil screamed.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD CHOSE TO BE WITH A VAMPIRE INSTEAD OF ME! IT'S HER CHOICE!" His son yelled back.
"That vampire man is bad news.He's going to damage the entire family.He already damaged your lover,Moira.Who knows what he will do next?" The devil asked softly.He never said anything softly and when he did,it was bad news.
"If I can't convince her to not be with him,she will.She'll see his evil.I know." The other man said.But he wasn't so sure..
Well that's something you don't see everyday. You know Mark is absolutely bad news when the literal devil is screaming about someone being evil and a bad influence. I can sense the devil here is only really mad about Lucifer being taken away from them and into the hands of Mark but its still a powerful moment and makes for an interesting little prologue almost to this situation.
Meanwhile,Moira and the man's six year old son,Lucifer was playing with his toys and watching his older sister,Vanessa,use her powers.She fascinated him.
Vanessa was a witch.She and their mother were the last two witches who had colorful hair.(Vanessa had purple hair and their mother had orange hair.) If witches had colorful hair,that meant that they were extremely powerful.
Lucifer was a witch,too.But he didn't have colorful hair,his main power was barfing up acid and he was six years old.Having powers wasn't important to him.
He didn't understand why their father didn't like witches.They were wonderful!
Ooooh well this is interesting. We get to see quite how old Lucifer was and I thought he'd be too young to really understand but it seems he was old enough to know the gravity of some of the things happening and to have developed a proper relationship with his sister. That though just makes things even sadder here.
He lived happily with his family,for some time.
But one day,Vanessa walked up to the window...
....and jumped.
Lucifer cried.He saw the whole thing.
The most frustrating thing was that he could feel himself forgetting Vanessa...
"No.I don't want to forget you.." He whispered.
AHHH that line is so powerful there. Its so simple but from a six year old who so very clearly adores his sister and given the state of the rest of the family, a sister that was probably little Lucifer's entire world it just makes it that much more impactful here. It puts an entirely new reason to be rather sad about that whole moment.
Lucifer woke up.Why was he looking out the window? There was nothing to see there.
"LUCIFER! IT'S DINNERTIME!" His Mother screamed.
He ran downstairs to the dining room,to where his parents were.
Lucifer was confused.Something was off.
"Where is my sister?" Lucifer asked.For some reason,he felt like he had one.
His parents looked puzzled.
"Sister? You don't have a sister." They said.
He shrugged.
"I guess not.I just thought.." He said quietly.
"Hey,would you like to get ice cream later?" His Mother asked him.
He grinned.Lucifer wished he had a sibling to share it with.Then,the ice cream would be sweeter..
Well that's an interesting point to end on. Even though we see that clearly the spell worked on Moira and Mark, Lucifer seems to be powerful enough and maybe attached enough to his sister to have some chance of remembering. Even thought the ending is still tragic here I love that it leaves us with a tiny bit of hope that maybe one day at least Vanessa and Lucifer can reunite.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
Overall: Overall, I really love that you managed to reinforce how much Vanessa meant to Lucifer and how that relationship will continue. The little tiny bit of hope at the end is all we have to rely on for the possibility that maybe this family can be free of Mark and find some happiness and as a big fan of happy endings I am going to cling onto that thank you very much.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
Harry
