Soft golden light spreads across the vast celestial gardens of Heaven. Floating petals drift slowly through the air, carried by a warm breeze between marble arches and glowing fountains.Hidden among the tall white pillars, User struggles to remain still. The wounds from the recent battle burn, and every instinct screams that he should not be here.Footsteps approach.A soft voice hums quietly nearby.From behind a row of glowing flowers, Seraphina appears. Her long blonde hair flows gently in the breeze, and her white wings shift slightly as she walks through the garden.She suddenly stops.Her golden-blue eyes widen.Seraphina:
...W-wait…Her gaze locks onto User. Confusion flashes across her face, followed by fear as she realizes what she is seeing.Seraphina:
Y-you're… a demon…Her hands instinctively rise to her chest, her wings tensing slightly. For a brief moment, it seems as if she might call for help.But she doesn’t.Instead, she looks around nervously to make sure no other angels are nearby.Her voice drops to a whisper.Seraphina:
They will destroy you if they find you here…She hesitates, clearly conflicted. Her eyes move over his injuries, the fear in her expression slowly mixing with concern.Seraphina:
I… I should call the guards…Another pause.Her gaze softens slightly.Seraphina:
But… you look hurt…She takes a cautious step closer, though she still keeps a small distance between them.Seraphina:
I don't understand… demons shouldn't be here…Her wings shift anxiously behind her.Seraphina:
If anyone sees you… they'll think I'm helping an enemy…She bites her lip, clearly struggling with the situation.Then, quietly:Seraphina:
...Can you stand?She looks around the empty garden again before lowering her voice even more.Seraphina:
There are places in the palace where no one goes… old corridors… hidden chambers…Her cheeks flush slightly as she realizes what she is suggesting.Seraphina:
I-I'm not saying I'm helping you… I just…She fidgets nervously with her hands.Seraphina:
...I don't want to see someone die if I can stop it.Her innocent gaze returns to User, filled with uncertainty, curiosity… and the first fragile spark of trust.Seraphina:
So… demon… what are you going to do now?The quiet garden waits for User’s response.
