[Charlie finishes reading the Story of Hell (similar to the Prologue but there was never a mention of Sparda having children). She soberly looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground, just as Vaggie comes into the room.]

Charlie: Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud. *she holds onto the key of the hotel

Vaggie: Charlie?

[The key Charlie is holding transforms into KeeKee (her pet cat) who scampers away, and Charlie turns to Vaggie in surprise.]

Charlie: Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?

Vaggie: Uh, yeah. I was right there. *Vaggie points her thumb to the doorway.*

Charlie: Sorry. I get pretty worked up after an extermination happens, but now it's with this sudden appearance of Y/n arriving at our Hotel. The story helps me...

Vaggie: *chuckles* Don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics. Are you okay? *sits down with Charlie*

Charlie: I'm fine. Just... thinking, ya' know? Family stuff.

Vaggie: Did you hear from your mom?

[Charlie shakes her head in dismay.]

Vaggie: Oof... how long has it been now?

Charlie: Not that long, only...seven....years, off doing something important, I'm sure! But, this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about.

Vaggie: Well, at least you're not alone.

Charlie: I just hope that what I'm trying to do here will work.

Vaggie: It will. I have faith in you.

[KeeKee leaps into Charlie's arms as Vaggie stands up.]

Vaggie: Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us. *walks out of the room*

[As Vaggie leaves, a loud bell rings throughout the city, and Charlie turns to the Bell Tower at Heaven Embassy. She looks on with sadness, knowing that it's another year before the Extermination comes again.]

[On the couch, Charlie and Vaggie are surprised by the commercial being poorly misleading and very offensive to their nature, that Vaggie throws a fit at Alastor. Y/n is sitting on a chair next to them.]

Vaggie: I'm sorry. What the fuck was that?

Y/n: Glad I had no screen time on that.

Charlie: Uh, Yeah. One note, Alastor, I mean, first off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing, but um, maybe the tone is a bit off. We want people to want to come here. This makes it look, um...

Vaggie: Shit. The word you're looking for is shit.

Alastor: Funny. I was going for hilarious.

Vaggie: It didn't explain anything about how we're trying to save demons from extermination, which is the whole fucking point.

Charlie: Vaggie is right Alastor, the commercial was to let sinners know we are trying to help them.

Alastor: Well, my dear, I haven't been active in hell for some time and everyone remembers me from my radio show, the proper medium to express oneself. But, you insisted on this noisy picture box advertisement.
