In the privacy of Nick Scratch's apartment, Lucifer rifles through the detritus of Scratch's life. He picks through the contents of his wallet, flips through the photographs and videos saved to the sleek phone that he finds in the pocket of Scratch's jeans. He finds that he can't look at Sabrina Spellman's face without an all consuming rage bubbling in his guts; he imagines that it will receed when he puts her in her rightful place, crowned and obedient, whether she likes it or not.

But first there's some fun to be had here, burning down the lives that these children have made for themselves. Why should Sabrina think that she can defy him, seek to imprison him like a common demon, and get away without punishment?

He'll make them all suffer before he's done.

"I don't understand," Sabrina says after a moment that's heavy with confusion and hurt. "Nick, you're not acting like yourself at all, and I don't get it." Her stomach is doing flips again, and she refuses to let herself take a step back. "If something's wrong, tell me, and we can figure it out."

Sabrina steps back as if he's struck her.

"That's not what this is," she insists. "Nick, you've never spoken to me like you have in the past week. Did I do something to make you angry? Because you'll have to tell me. I can't think of anything."

She feels her cheeks get hot, and curls her fists to keep from reaching up to touch them. "It's never bothered you before. I thought you liked that I felt strongly about things." She blinks her eyes hard, setting her jaw. "And it was never my mortal side causing the problems in my life."

"Nick?"

Her voice is younger and so much more wobbly than she would like it to be, but she's having trouble processing it. "Nick, that's--" Tears bead up and over, and she's wiping at her face with numb fingers. "Nick, I love you. I don't understand."

But she's stepping back again.

Sabrina gets a hand on the door knob, letting it anchor her for a moment as she looks at him, the sick shock giving away to grief and heartbreak. "I would have turned Hell upside down to save you," she says, her voice thick with tears. "I guess I am stupid."

She can't handle anymore.

She pushes out of the apartment, and at least manages to get the elevator doors closed before she's crying the huge, gulping sobs that have been waiting inside for days now.

"Nick...."
