Alastor's Zombie Symphony

Alastor

The music's stopped, yet the audience keeps clawing at our doors.

Alastor

How delightfully persistent.

Vaggie

They're getting louder. The barricades won't hold much longer.

Charlie

(The last of our food... we can't keep running like this.)

Lucifer

The basement! There's an old service tunnel—

Alastor

(Oh, but I've already locked that path, my dear friends.)

Vaggie

You... you sealed our only escape?

Charlie

(He's been feeding them... feeding them our location...)

Alastor

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's performance features a very special finale!

Charlie

You've been leading them here! All this time!

Alastor

My dear princess, every good show needs an audience.

Alastor

(Time for the final act.)

Charlie

DAD!

Lucifer

CHARLIE! No, no, NO!

Vaggie

Bring her back! BRING HER BACK!

Alastor

And now, dear listeners, the real entertainment begins.

Alastor

Such delicious despair... but the main course has yet to arrive.

Lucifer

The shadows... they're still moving. Charlie's still in there!

Alastor

(Every scream, every ounce of fear... mine to savor.)

Vaggie

Then we go through you! I won't let you keep her!

Alastor

Your anger tastes divine... but I'm still so hungry.

Charlie

You wanted a finale, Alastor? Let's give them one.

Alastor

(She... she absorbed the shadows? Used my own power against me?)

Charlie

The audience you summoned? They're here for you now.

Alastor

(This isn't how the show ends... I am the conductor!)

Charlie

The hunter becomes the hunted, Alastor.

Alastor

My dear princess, surely we can negotiate—

Charlie

(Every soul you tormented... they're all here for you.)

Lucifer

Charlie! Don't let him drag you down too!

Vaggie

I'll clear a path! Just end this!

Alastor

(The shadows... they're not taking me... they're being pulled INTO her!)

Charlie

Your power... it's exquisite. But I think I'll keep it.

Lucifer

(Charlie... what have you become?)
