He was quiet for a long moment.

"Lonely?" He scoffed. "Oh, if only. No, no, I'm not lonely. I just like to get away from Hell for a while to have even a moment's illusion of being lonely. It's such a refreshing break from the endless screaming and weeping from The Great Furnace. You can hear it from everywhere in Hell, you know. An endless reminder that you're always one wrong move away from becoming part of its kindling, fueling the hellfire that roils beneath the skin of every demon, binding us all together, reminding us that this is all we have now.

"The lifeblood of Hell isn't simply suffering. It's despair."
