[Beel (and Belphie)'s room]

“...Cale, you awake?”

Cale turned around and face Beel.

“Would it be okay if...if I held your hand, Cale? For a little bit. Until I fall asleep.”

‘Is he having a nightmare?’

Cale thought. He took Beel's hand. Beel then smiled.

“Thanks.”

Within a few minutes Beel fell asleep, and so did Cale.

“...Beel...You've got to help him...You've got to help Belphie... Promise me, Beel. Promise you'll help him...And please protect Cale...”

...!

Beel opened his eyes and quickly got up. His eyes shook. He then realized he was just dreaming.

“...Oh. I guess I was dreaming.”

Beel took a glance at Cale who was peacefully sleeping. He remembered the last part of what his dream told him before he woke up.

“...please protect Cale...”

‘Cale...’

[Next Morning, Dining Room]

Cale was silently eating his breakfast. The atmosphere was so tense and cold that none of the brothers were talking.

“...Aw, normally everyone's so happy and full of energy at breakfast. But things are soooo tense today.”

Asmo decided to break the silence. He couldn't take the tense atmosphere anymore.

“After what happened last night, I'm not surprised.”

Satan interjected.

“Levi was not involved last night. I guess there are some advantages to being a shut-in. You avoid getting caught up in unpleasant business, like what happened last night.”

Satan added.

“Yeah, you can definitely say that. Just look at Beel. He's on his sixth cup of soup. That's only his half normal pace.”

Said Asmo, nodding in agreement.

“I see that Mammon has the same stupid look on his face as he always does.”

Satan commented. Mammon instantly frown at Satan's words.

“Hey, what's that about my face now?!”

Mammon exclaimed, glaring at Satan.

Cale could see how Asmo and Satan tries to lighten up the atmosphere a bit. Though it was still uncomfortable for Cale since he's near Beel and Lucifer. Those two didn't utter a word.

“...Cale.”

Lucifer called. Cale put down his cup and looked at Lucifer.

“Would you come see me in the music room before heading to class?”
