She has been in Johto long enough, and eavesdropped on enough public feeds to know what that means. She's even been through it herself when Leviathan disappeared some months ago. Mammon, however, is a presence she had never questioned

[Obviously, as the eldest sister, it's her job to check how the rest of her sisters are taking this.

Still, since Mammon was the second one to arrive here, it feels so empty now. Just like when Leviathan did...]

It's so hard to believe it.

[She looks up from the 'gear at the sound of her elder sister's voice]

Lucifer...

[red eyes dart back down to the device and then set it aside on the mattress beside her.]

It is. [she agrees.] How long have you known?

[ She leans her back against the wall close to the door. Her eyes looking at her sister calmly. ]

I always wake up really early and today I couldn't find her anyway.

...I'd assumed she was tending business elsewhere again.

[clearly not the case. She folds her hands in her lap, looking down at them with great fixation]

I wish I knew what it was this world was trying to accomplish.

[Bringing and taking Battler twice, for instance. And now firmly keeping the seven sisters fragmented from one another when it had seemed promising for a bit that it had meant to reunite them all here. It made very little sense.]

She normally tells someone, so we wouldn't have to worry.

[ She drops her gaze as well, trying to understand this Fragment in vain. ]

It's out of our hands. This Fragment and its Game Master care not for any of its pieces and goals.

[makesagoodwife]

Clearly.

[one hand slowly worries at the other as she mulls it over.]

The three of us will be expected to pick up her slack, now that she's gone.

[It doesn't sound like a resentful observation, but more a statement of fact. She knows well that Lady Beatrice doesn't like having her things taken away and tends to take it out on her other pieces out of spite]

[ She steps closer, sitting down next to her. ]

We will have to work harder than before. Mammon wouldn't be pleased if we were slacking in her area. She worked really hard to get what she had.

[ She's ready to go and kill someone if she could. ]

[Don't worry, Luci, Belphe isn't far behind you in that line of logic. Finding the so-called gamemasters and piercing them full of holes for causing them so much grief, at the moment is a very appealing prospect.]

We should make sure her affairs here are settled respectfully... [she murmurs, shifting her eyes back to her elder sister as she sits down] She would want to know that her team was only being handled by the best... [read: She would want to make sure that her team continued to troll her favorite victims in her stead]

[Action]

[redeyesforpride]

[ She nods at that, of course. She plans to troll them all in Mammon's name. ]

We will not disappoint our dear sister.
