The sky shuddered as a bone‑chilling laughter echoed across the world.
???: Tearful love… because I will END THAT NOW!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I HATE those people who love each other! All I want… is to destroy this worthless world!!!
Karina grabbed Theo's arm, trembling.
Karina: Theo!! Will you… will you fight him?!
Theo stepped in front of her protectively, wings spreading, eyes burning with resolve.
Theo: We have no choice but to fight this demon.
There's no one else with us—so we will face him together.
Before Karina could speak, Theo launched himself upward, power surging through his hands.
He struck—
but the demon vanished instantly, leaving only ripples of dark smoke.
In a heartbeat, it appeared behind Theo.
A sharp blast hit him from behind.
Karina: THEOOOO!!!
Theo: AHHHHHHH!!!!
Theo fell through the air, wings trembling as he barely caught himself before hitting the ground.
The demon hovered above them, laughter crawling through the night sky.
Devil: I repeat… I WILL end people who love each other.
And soon… I will end this WORLD too.
The demon raised its clawed hand.
A mysterious light shot upward—
and the sky instantly began to darken.
Clouds twisted.
Thunder rumbled.
The world grew cold.
As the sky turned black, the demon dissolved into a swirl of smoke—vanishing without a trace.
Karina ran to Theo, catching him before he collapsed.
Karina: Theo!! Are you okay?!
Theo held his side, wincing.
Theo: Yes… I'm okay…
Karina placed his arm over her shoulder, helping him stand as they stared at the corrupted sky.
Lightning flashed violently above them.
Karina: Is this… the end of the world?
Theo shook his head slowly.
Theo: No.
Because I know… the Lord God will help us complete this mission.

[HEAVEN]
Panic echoed through the heavenly halls.
Angels rushed around, wings fluttering in fear as the dark sky above Earth infected the edges of Heaven's light.
The black power the demon released was growing stronger—
now accompanied by violent lightning that could be heard even in Heaven.
They waited desperately for the Lord's judgment…
for instructions…
for hope.

[KARINA'S HOUSE]
Karina held onto Theo tightly.
Karina: Theo… I'm scared…
Theo gently squeezed her hand.
Theo: Don't be afraid.
I'm right here.
And I will protect you.
Karina walked to the window, heart pounding as she peeked outside.
The sky was pitch black—
alive with furious lightning that tore through the darkness.
The world had changed.
And their time was running out.
