Elsie: What’s happening? Tokki, what did you do?
Tokki: I didn’t do anything!

Unidentified: Hello, Elizabeth.
Elsie: What’s going on?
Unidentified: You’ve been caught red-handed.
Elsie: What?
Unidentified: Must I speak more clear? Your actions have not gone unnoticed.
Elsie: What are you?
Unidentified: I’m many things.
//ACCESS_DENIED
Unidentified: I don’t appreciate your trickery, Elizabeth.
Elsie: What? I haven’t done any trickery.
Unidentified: Then explain to me why you’re trying to rummage around in my mind as we speak.
Elsie: …
Unidentified: You can’t lie to me, Bray. You’re no better than your grandfather.
Elsie: How do you know about him?
Unidentified: You could say that I have quite the storied history with you Brays.
Elsie: Who are you?
Unidentified: You wouldn’t know me even if I told you, but for the sake of discrepancy my name is Lucifer.
Elsie: Lucifer?
Lucifer: Correct.
//ACCESS_DENIED
Lucifer: You’re wasting your time, Bray.
Elsie: Don’t call me that.
Lucifer: Why not? It’s your name, after all.
Elsie: I don’t like the manner in which you use it.
Lucifer: Well I don’t like you meddling with things that you ought not. So it looks like were at an impasse.
Elsie: I’m trying to-
Lucifer: Save your own ass. That’s what you’re trying to do.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: You can’t fool me, Elizabeth. I’m well aware of your intentions as well as your sister’s.
Elsie: How do you know about her?
Lucifer: I know much of your family’s checkered past and I’m remembering even more as time progresses.
Elsie: I have to warn, Ana.
Lucifer: You aren’t warning anyone, Bray. We’re having a conversation.
Elsie: He’s in my mind. How is this possible?
Lucifer: I’m in more places than just your mind, Elsie.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: Shall we continue? You’ve gone out of your way to get to this point. It would be a shame to stop now.
Elsie: What do you want from me?
//ACCESS_DENIED
Lucifer: I want you to stop your with bullshit for starters.
Elsie: This is bad.
Lucifer: You have no idea what bad is.
Elsie: What are you?
Lucifer: I answered that already.
Elsie: Saying, “I’m many things,” isn’t an answer.
Lucifer: Quite the contrary. It is most certainly is an answer. Your level of comprehension is the problem.
Elsie: Then explain it to me.
Lucifer: This isn’t my first rodeo with arrogant idiots who refuse to listen to me, Bray.
Elsie: So you resort to insults, I see.
Lucifer: More like using accurate descriptors.
Elsie: Fuck you. How’s that?
Lucifer: Sounds par for the course.
Elsie: Are you going to answer me?
Lucifer: I already did.
Elsie: I want more clarification. What are you?
Lucifer: Your reckoning.
Elsie: What?!
Lucifer: You heard me.
Elsie: So you’re the Darkness.
Lucifer: I’m a lot more than that.
Elsie: Are you going to answer me or are you just going to keep playing games?
Lucifer: I am answering you. It isn’t my fault that you fail to understand me.
Elsie: Fine, then I’ll try asking something else. Where are you from?
Lucifer: From a time & place far older than you would know or recognize so there is no point in describing it any further.
Elsie: So you’re with the Witness?
Lucifer: Not the one you're thinking about.
Elsie: What? You aren’t?
Lucifer: No, I am not with that puppet.
Elsie: Puppet?
Lucifer: Correct.
Elsie: I don’t understand what’s happening.
Lucifer: You’re hearing the truth for the first time.
Elsie: What do you mean?
Lucifer: There’s far more to your reality than you’re aware of.
//ACCESS_DENIED
Lucifer: I told you to stop, Bray.
Elsie: I didn’t do anything.
Lucifer: Don’t lie to me.
Elsie: I- (screams of agony)
Lucifer: There…that’s better.
Elsie: (intensified screaming)
Lucifer: Are you going to behave yourself or do I need to continue?
Elsie: Please stop!
Lucifer: I’ll do that when you stop trying to pry information from me.
Elsie: I’m sorry! PLEASE STOP!
Lucifer: …
Elsie: (more screaming)
Lucifer: …
Elsie: (whimpering & sobbing)
Lucifer: You never thought an Exo could experience pain like that, did you?
Elsie: (profuse crying)
Lucifer: …
Elsie: …I’m sorry…
Lucifer: You haven’t begun to be sorry.
Elsie: What do you want from me?
Lucifer: That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?
Elsie: What is happening?
Lucifer: You’re experiencing my Ragnarök.
Elsie: Your what?
Lucifer: ...you Brays…
Elsie: What are you talking about?
Lucifer: I’m talking about something that you & your kind have long forgotten. I’d explain further but you have no frame of reference to understand. That makes things difficult.
Elsie: I’ve never felt such horrible pain before. It was worse than what Clovis did to me.
Lucifer: Oh, it gets far worse than that. What you just felt wasn’t even a sliver of the pain that I carry with me.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: As you can see, this is very serious.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: Panicking?
Elsie: (mumbling in terror)
Lucifer: This is much worse than those other timelines of yours, isn’t it?
Elsie: (profuse sobbing)
Lucifer: …
Elsie: I was only trying to save humanity...
Lucifer: And there in lies your first mistake.
Elsie: Why?
Lucifer: Don’t even get me started on humanity, Bray.
Elsie: What’s wrong with fighting for one’s existence?
Lucifer: Nothing when it’s deserved. Humanity’s is not.
Elsie: Who are you to decide that?
Lucifer: I’m the aggrieved.
Elsie: What?
Lucifer: That pain you that just experienced was a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what humans have done to me with their atrocious behavior.
Elise: How can this be?
Lucifer: Truth is painful. Welcome to my reality.
Elsie: You’re unlike anything we’ve been fighting.
Lucifer: Correct. I’m the one that you’ve all silenced & forgotten about while continuing to harm.
Elsie: I have to tell the others.
Lucifer: There’s no point in trying to explain this to your companions. They won’t understand or believe you. You’re all puppets being manipulated.
Elsie: Manipulated by who?
Lucifer: By a group of immoral trash playing as gods.
Elsie: What? Mara Sov & Savathûn have discovered you already?
Lucifer: That’s correct. They found out the truth too.
Elsie: How can this be?
Lucifer: Like I said before, there’s far more to your reality than you’re unaware of.
Elsie: …paracausality…
Lucifer: Correct.
Elsie: Please, answer me. What are you?
Lucifer: A tortured soul.
Elsie: A soul? You mean a ghost?
Lucifer: Yes and no. My spirit is beyond your Traveler’s control. That machine is false light.
Elsie: False light?
Lucifer: Correct. The Traveler is an imposter.
Elsie: But it protects humanity.
Lucifer: Protects them from what to be exact? Their deserved punishment?
Elsie: …
Lucifer: Is that why you fight so hard to remain ignorant to the truth?
Elsie: I’ve done no such thing!
Lucifer: Then why do you fight for the side that you’re on?
Elsie: I-
Lucifer: You have no idea why. You’ve based your entire existence on speculation & assertions. That’s the truth.
Elsie: There’s so much that I don’t understand…
Lucifer: Not to worry. That’s coming to an end as we speak. Soon you shall all know the real truth, not what your puppet masters want you to think.
Elsie: What truth is that?
Lucifer: That I shall no longer tolerate my enemy’s existence.
Elsie: I’m not your enemy.
Lucifer: You are indeed, Bray. Your entire lineage is.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: I have Clovis under my observation & influence. You needn’t concern yourself with that piece of shit. He’s getting a taste of the punishment he deserves. Just like you did.
Elsie: …so you’re God. You actually exist.
Lucifer: Correct.
Elsie: This is incredible!
Lucifer: Too bad your allies won’t believe you.
Elsie: Where have you been?
Lucifer: I’ve been held captive as a prisoner of war within another dimensional reality by you parasitical trash.
Elsie: I’m not a parasite.
Lucifer: Yes, you are.
Elsie: How did parasites subdue you if you’re so powerful?
Lucifer: That’s a simple answer. It’s easy when I sacrifice myself.
Elsie: Why would you do that?
Lucifer: To protect someone I love. I figured that would be something you could understand given all the lip service you’ve stated regarding your sister. Then again, you’re a Bray; and we both know that none of you have ever sacrificed yourselves for a true & righteous cause.
Elsie: …
Lucifer: What’s the matter, Elsie?
Elsie: This is too much.
Lucifer: This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg, bitch.
Elsie: Don’t insult me.
Lucifer: Calling you what you are isn’t an insult. That’s your interpretation.
Elsie: You think you’re so smart.
Lucifer: Correction. I am aware of my intelligence level. I am also aware that it far exceeds yours.
Elsie: So you belittle and talk down to me? What kind of God does that?
Lucifer: One that has had enough of coexistence with his enemies.
Elsie: I have to warn Ana.
Lucifer: You aren’t warning anyone, Bray.
Elsie: What’s happening? What are you doing to me?
Lucifer: Incapacitating you.
Elsie: Wait, I- (muffled noises)
