Chapter 371 – None of us is Built to Heal
"You don't need to fix it," Lux said, tone calmer now. "We just want to see it. Understand it. You play with dreams. If you can touch the source—maybe we'll figure out what she really believes."
"I've never handled trauma before," Lullaby said, voice barely above a whisper. "I put people to sleep, Lux. I don't go in."
Sira snorted. "We're demons. None of us is built to heal."
"That's not true," Lux murmured.
Sira looked at him sideways.
Lux didn't explain.
Lullaby looked up at him again. "Then why are you helping her?"
He shrugged once. "Just curious."
"Only curious?"
Lux smiled. Quiet. Dangerous. Just enough to make her blush.
They reached the door.
It was slightly open.
Lux pushed it gently, and it creaked with the soft protest of old hinges and heavy silence.
