"Because... I.." Lucifer was lost for words. He had no idea how to comfort her while staying true to himself at the same time.
"Because it was the right thing to do." Vanessa's soft voice came from beside her as she covered the distance and sat next to the sobbing girl. "It was the right thing to do. No matter what happens, how much you might feel hurt because of it, learning the truth will always be better than living with false hopes."
"No!" Gwen shouted at Vanessa in anger, then turned toward Lucifer again. "Why don't you understand? I knew about your affairs, and I stayed away from confronting you, thinking that this day might come when you leave me... but I still lived in my imaginary world with you. All because I love you."
