In the vast halls of Heaven, golden light rippled softly as God's voice echoed with calm wisdom.
God: Theo, you need to return to the world of humans. Remember—the 100 Days for your mission to Karina are not over.
Theo clenched his fists, sorrow clouding his eyes.
Theo: But… what's the point of doing a mission for her… if she doesn't even remember me?
A gentle silence followed.
God: And who said she doesn't remember you?
Theo froze.
Theo: What… what do you mean?
God: I told you—I cannot interfere.
But now… go back to her.
Theo's wings relaxed, hope flickering in his chest.
Theo: Thank You… so much, God.
And with that, Heaven opened its gates for him once again.
---
The portal shimmered as Theo descended, feathers glowing faintly.
But the moment he stepped out—
his heart stopped.
Karina was standing there.
Waiting.
Eyes trembling. Breath uneven. Tears threatening.
Theo: ?!
Karina: Theo… what is this?!
Theo swallowed, guilt weighing heavily.
Theo: Karina, please… let me explain—
But she shook her head.
Karina: I've seen everything, Theo.
You don't need to explain.
…I know you're an angel.
Theo's eyes widened.
Theo: But… how?
Karina: Did God send you here?
Theo nodded slowly.
Theo: Yes… you're right.
And… I only have 47 days left in this mission.
Karina stumbled back a step.
Karina: Forty–seven days…?
What will happen after those 47 days?
Theo inhaled shakily.
Theo: I… I need to go back to Heaven.
Karina's voice cracked instantly.
Karina: Please… after those 47 days… don't leave me.
I'm begging you, Theo. Please…
Theo reached out, his hand brushing her cheek gently.
Theo: Even if I don't want to leave you…
I can't disobey Him.
It's the Lord's command.
Karina wiped her tears angrily.
Karina: The Lord?
Then I'll talk to Him!
Theo shook his head instantly.
Theo: You can't.
He won't appear before humans.
Karina: Please… there has to be something…
Theo looked into her eyes, voice trembling.
Theo: We don't know what will happen in the future.
But remember—
I'm always by your side.
Suddenly—
a dark, mocking laugh shattered the air.
???: Tearful love… because I will end that now!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
A shadow spread across the sky.
Something… or someone… had returned.
