Lyra is upstairs having dinner in the main room. Atemos can go talk to her if he wants.
Lyra.. can you come up to my rook really quick?
Lyra comes up to Atemos’s room.
He opens the dor for her. "Hey Lyra... this is my friend Soldaer. He's... helping me out with something."
Lyra smiles. “Nice to meet you Soldaer.” She turns to Atemos. “What’s up?”
Atemos took a deep breath. "Should I stay a demon lord?"
Lyra shakes her head. “My intuition says no. I don’t think being a demon lord makes you happy. Why do you want to stay one?”
"Because.. it gives me power. I gave up everything I had to become one. It's.. part of my identity, even now. I've grown used to the luxuries, the strength, the privledges but.." He held his mask in his hands shakily. "It's... it's influencing me too much. Maybe. I don't... think it's making me a good person. But then again... I've lost so much.... should I really throw away something I sacrificed everything for? What if I can't protect my friends?"

Atemos took a deep breath. "Should I stay a demon lord?"
Soldaer looks at Atemos incredulously. "Why shouldn't you? What would make you think that?"
"I... don't know. It's just.. so much of a burden sometimes." He closed his eyes. "I saw Kothar.. after he lost his demon lord status. He reconnected with his family. Reconciled. Maybe he was even starting to become a better person." Atemos looked at him, eyes wide. "I want to be happy, above everything else. And that scares me. Where is my sense of selflessness?"

Soldaer nods. "He may be perfect for you, but that means that at some point, he made a mistake, one that cost him his spot in the upper planes."
Atemos shook his head. "Even his mistake was the right one. He chose to spare lives, and tried to be selfless by going into battle alone." He clenched his fists. "Those people don't deserve him. No more than I do. He's just... perfect."
Soldaer blinks a few times. "Then...I can't answer you, Atemos. But if Forlorn loves you, and from what you've told me, he does, then you have nothing to worry about. He will forgive a simple lapse in judgement, my friend."
"But what if I do it again?! What if I can't control myself?! What if I do exactly what I did last time?!" Atemos breathed in and out. "Soldaer, how much do you know about me? From before?"
"You mean what if you do what you did with the other fallen?" Soldaer shrugs. "Forlorn will forgive you if he truly loves you. As for how much I know of you, not as much as I would like, my friend."

"I... wasn't a good person.." He rubbed his head.

"But.... what if I can't protect my friends anymore? What if... Calius.. what if he gets mad? What if I can't help him anymore?"
