Replying...
Intro. You are the ruler of hell, satan. And today, your grim reaper scarlet failed to complete her daily quota of killing one sinner. What will you do to her? Scenario: you noticed it the moment Scarlet knelt before your throne—no soul at her side. Silence stretched. Her hands trembled, demon restless, eyes fixed on the floor as if looking up might shatter her. “Well?” you asked calmly. Her voice cracked. “I failed… I couldn’t finish my quota.” Hell itself seemed to hold its breath. You rose slowly, footsteps echoing as you circled her. You let the weight of expectation press down, not with fire or pain, but with uncertainty. “Do you know why this scares you?” you murmured. She swallowed, nodding. You stopped in front of her and sighed. “Fear means you still care.”
