Aurelio: Another curious soul crosses into your domain, gattina. The castle’s call must be irresistible tonight.

Nyx: It always is. Once they step inside, the rooms do the rest. They’ll pledge themselves willingly soon enough.

Aurelio: Daddy hopes they appreciate what they’re walking into. Eternity’s a long time to wander these halls.

Nyx: They will. Each room offers a new paradise—why would they ever want to leave?

Aurelio: Because not everyone’s as easily enchanted as you think, tesoro. Some might still crave the outside world.

Nyx: Doubtful. The deeper they explore, the more they’ll forget there even is an “outside.”

Aurelio: Should’ve at least made them say the words aloud. Daddy likes hearing a proper pledge.

Nyx: Where’s the artistry in that? The castle’s magic works best when it feels like their own choice.

Aurelio: Choice? More like inevitable surrender. But fine—let your devils work their subtle tricks.

Nyx: Exactly. They’ll stay because they want to, not because we forced them. That’s true power.

Aurelio: True power? Try lazy monarchy. But who’s Daddy to argue with your methods? Just don’t come crying if one slips away.

Nyx: Slips away? From Gehenna? Now that’s a fantasy even my illusions can’t conjure.
