Chapter Text
It's August. 5 months after Perpetua's reveal in Satanized. Perpetua never expected to find himself being a front man of a satanic band or even expected to have brother, at twin at that. One second he opened the door to 5 masked people standing there to the next second he's standing in a recording booth singing about being possessed by love. The first few days, weeks, he was constantly on edge. Siblings of sin following his every movement hoping to get the chance to talk to him and his twin brother hiding in his office being bitter about his role being taken over.
Perpetua walked through out the Ministry, taking a look around and somehow memorize which hallways lead to where. Walking by Copia's office he can hear Copia yell, "FUCKING V." all Perpetua can do is look down at the ground and keep walking. One day he'll get the courage to talk to Copia and try to figure everything out that just won't be anytime soon. A few hallway turns he's at his own little section of the Ministry, the Papa's before him stayed in this section so Perpetua pulled quite a few all nighters reading the books from the formers. He spent days studying the ins and outs the ministry and learning the sibling of sins names. He tries, he really does, but somedays it's just all overwhelming to him especially tonight he got to his brother's book of his experience on what it's like to be Cardinal turned Papa. Perpetua's a bit jealous of that, Copia had time to become a Papa, he was just catapulted over here. No training or anything, given the title of Papa from Nihil and Sister, who he learned later that they are his parents.
Skimming the pages he reads a few out loud, "The crowd in California was fucking electric tonight! Everything went almost perfectly, messed up a few lyrics but heh what can you do about it." and "Fucking Dew can't listen for shit. Ready to fight his ass soon, I SWEAR." Perpetua laughs at that one. His reading is interrupted by the sound of frantic knocking, getting up from his chair he rushes to open it, it's Nihil and Sister once more.
"Perpetua. You're falling behind in your duties, at this rate you'll never be as good as the Papa's before you." Nihil shoves a stack of papers at him. "You are to read these and get back to me about them by noon tomorrow." He turns and walks away. Sister stands there, really looking at him, studying the details of his face. She shakes her head and sighs before she's behind Nihil. Perpetua looks at the empty doorway and the stack of papers in his hands.
Shuffling over to his desk he sets the stack down and it looks like a fucking mountain of them. How does Nihil really expect him to read all these reports AND get back by noon. Plopping in his chair he opens up the first report reading half of it before realizing he knows nothing on this and he's getting overly frustrated with himself. Many thoughts are swirling around his head. He puts his hands over his face and just sobs. He wants to return home and go back to the life he once knew. Desperately. He didn't hear the knocks coming from his door or Copia walking up to him.
"Hey, it's going to be all. It's shit for a little bit but you'll get the hang of it soon enough." Copia puts his hand on Perpetua's shoulder. Perpetua jumps a mile and wipes away the tears from his eyes. Copia does feel bad for his brother, and how the first meeting went. "I'll take you under my wing and I'll help you out." Copia grips Perpetua's shoulder. Not knowing what to do Perpetua gets up from his chair and gives his brother a tight hug.
"Thank you, so much. You have no idea what this means to me." Perpetua sighs. Letting go of his brother he glances back at the stack a papers and groans.
"Before I help though, I have a quick visit to make." Copia smiles and leaves the room. It isn't long before Perpetua hears Copia shout out, "FATHER." followed by a whole lot words he's never heard before. Copia returns with his face beating red and an annoyed look on his face.
"Okay, are you ready to get started?" Copia claps his hands "Let this be the start of a brotherly bond the ministry shall not forget."
