A few moments later, everything returned to normal.
Lucifer had apparently finished whatever it was he had been examining. Without another word, he vanished as though he had never been there.
To an ordinary person, nothing would have seemed unusual. No one would have realized that someone had disappeared from the room.
But Raven, Tristan, and Missy noticed.
Even though time had resumed, the faint sense of unease Lucifer had left behind still lingered in the air.
Missy blinked once, a strange feeling washing over her as though a tiny fragment of the last few moments had somehow slipped from her memory.
She couldn't quite explain it. It was only an instant. Yet it felt as though something had happened...
Something she simply couldn't recall.
Shaking the odd sensation away, she turned her attention toward the unexpected guest standing before her.
"Mr. Hartwell... I honestly didn't expect to see you here." Missy smiled softly.
