From the moment he was born, Cain Morningstar proved to everyone, especially his parents, that he was a difficult baby.
The dark palace had been filled with the screams of an infant for the last few weeks since the birth of the prince. Each day he'd only sleep a few hours at a time waking up often to be fed or changed. and at night it was worse. Every night he would cry and cry with no hope of soothing him. No matter what Adam and Lucifer did, which brings us to the present. In Cain's nursery, the couple stood over his crib with tired, exasperated expressions plastered on their faces. Lucifer sighed rubbing his hands over his face, "For the love of my father, why won't you go to sleep?" Adam barely awake turns to him and says, "Are you sure this isn't our REAL punishment?" "I'm beginning to think so love." Suddenly the crying quieted down to whimpers until finally at long last their little one was finally asleep. Adam and Lucifer looked at each other with tired yet happy smiles. they both silently rejoiced at the silence that filled their ears, until of course
"WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Not even a full minute had passed
Lucifer took a long breath in then exhaled before saying, "Yup, my father is definitely punishing me for being a brat in my youth."

So in the Bible, the first ever murder of a human was committed against a family member out of hatred and envy, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it and asked, "Am I [the victim]'s keeper?" And in Hazbin Hotel, the first ever murder of an angel was committed to protect family members out of love, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it to keep the family they were defending safe, calling themselves their "keeper". Hmm.
