The post-surgery scars, she had already seen on her own face three times.
Having grown used to her own scars, she didn't find her own terrifying.

"Cecilia, I've wanted to see you long ago, but the doctors at the Royal Hospital wouldn't let me discharge. Mom and Dad were also worried about me, forcing me to recover fully before leaving. Otherwise, I would have come to accompany you long ago..."
Lucifer's voice was soft and gentle, carrying his unique doting tone.
"Don't say anymore, Lucifer..." With each word he spoke, her heart ached a little more.
She lifted her head, overwhelmed by sadness, "Such a major surgery, why didn't you tell me?"
