(His face has reddened, both from the crying and the immense mortification of being seen crying. Squirms weakly and draws back a little, but remains in Sakura's embrace.)
...B-because... ghhhh... hhhh... they will... n-not... permit me to die...

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?.....
...I... Is—... Is it pity...? It... It must be... I would... I would be just as... a-abjectly a failure as... as a human being... N-no, or... more... ghhhh... I mean... Just... Just look at me...! It must—... It must be pity, there... there is no way... no way anything... any trait of mine... hhhhh... i-is even... remotely...
(Just looks absolutely wretched and pathetic at this point, all teary and snotty and pathetic as the last vestiges of him trying to suppress his own crying dissolve.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019They're a very... boisterous people, I would say. Most of us enjoy engaging in a myriad of pleasures that are perhaps a bit more... exotic than what humans are used to. Less so when it comes to me personally, but I'm a bit of an exception.
One thing virtually all of us have in common as a people is that we greatly value freedom. Historically, Hell was once... essentially a prison where people were trapped and tortured for the remainder of their time in the afterlife. The intervention of Satan was what actually ended this barbaric practice and led to Hell becoming an actual living space. This must sound rather ironic, given his reputation for evil and brutality in other worlds... but I digress. The important point is that we are very cognizant of what the land we call home used to be, and we wish never to return to those dark days.
...How...? I... I am good at... nothing... and I'm not even... I can't... hhhhh... can't even fight now... barely even walk anymore... can't stay awake for more than... ghhhh... f-four hours at a time... I should... I really should be dead... I don't... understand... I don't...

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?They obliterated their planet in a nuclear war. They've only recently started to rebuild.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Yeah, luckily they're pretty explosive breeders.
...
That wasn't meant to be a pun.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh, this was a very long time ago, far before I was ever born... though the ramifications of that event are still very relevant. To go into more detail, it was essentially a battle between Satan and his followers against a race that... though they also called themselves demons, were completely alien to us. Not simply because they looked unlike most demons... they took no enjoyment in any sort of activity a human or demon would participate in. No trace of emotion besides hatred and sadistic glee... these were the people responsible for capturing humans and dragging them into Hell. They were so utterly vile that war erupted between them and those who wanted this to continue no longer. Though they were defeated, they still lurk in lesser numbers... somewhere.
-sighs-
It's tragic that such needless suffering ever happened.

What's it like on earth, centuries in the past?
