I'll be honest, I don't know how all of you are living here.
Not existing, I don't need an explanation for that. I just...

[She's trapped by a future that hasn't happened yet. Hook doesn't have to tell her she's gone dark for her to know he was thrown by the fact that she wasn't. If there's going to be a fight, she's going to lose. In his future, she's the Dark One.

And to have it not happen just because she's here, when she doesn't know why, or for how long, or what this place wants out of her is maddening.]

[sheriffing]

Lucifer as in, Lucifer?

[goesdown]

Yes, as in the devil.

And I'm a demon, so it would be a bit silly to pretend that I was weak.

[goesdown]

More than you or I can produce. More than any of us can produce.

[sheriffing]

[goesdown]

I have no interest in leaving, but I'm sure you can find others who will try with you. You'll fail, but I suppose you should learn that yourself.
