"Hey Aqua, looks like you're enjoying your walk... can I join you?" A girl with a sadistic voice appears, speaking from a dark alleyway, her face hidden, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

- CLICK!

"What a beautiful tree, its white petals give a feeling of serenity and beauty... irresistible." With great enthusiasm, Asia Argento takes pictures of the tree we were walking past.

"I wish I could say the same, it's so common to see this type of tree... but you didn't lie, they are beautiful, I'm just very used to observing my surroundings." I end up explaining as I place my hand on one of the petals.

Asia's eyes turn to me, and as she raises the camera in her hands, she takes a picture of me with my hand resting on the white petal.

"That picture turned out beautiful." She giggles at having quickly taken a picture of me holding the leaf.

"I hope it turned out well, otherwise I'll rip it out of your hand... Heh."

With a small ironic smile, Asia gets scared and moves away from me a little while putting the camera on the plastic bag that had the bottles inside.

"Regardless of whether it's ugly or not... you're not going to take this from me." Her expression was like that of a dog wanting to cry, it was adorable.

"I'm kidding, Asia. I would never do that, not even to my worst enemy." I said that while running my finger over the white petal, the feeling was nice, even though I was used to nature.

"I know that, it's just that I... I really like to appreciate these things, because I haven't had such a peaceful life." With a slightly anguished look on her face, her eyes watched the clear sky full of clouds.

"Hm?"

It wasn't so peaceful? Wait... don't tell me she is.

"I'm still an angel, Aqua Hoshino." Quickly, her eyes centered on mine, and a strange feeling mixed in my stomach.

"My feet always walked on church floors, I never had a normal childhood... and in my current adolescence, I need to keep an even closer eye on what's going on." As Asia explained this, she walked towards me and her body was face to face with mine.

"Asia, can I ask you something?" My expression suddenly became cold, showing no emotion at the moment.

"Depending on the question, you can."

"Can you raise your hand and look at it?"

Asia was silent, instead of answering my question, she just raised her hand and started looking at her palm.

"Do you see Ruptures, Asia Argento?"

Asia's eyes were very focused on looking directly at her right hand, and the more she looked... the more she saw things that didn't normally appear, none of it was real, her psyche then began to work on the real traumas.

On Asia's right hand, a small drop of blood dripped onto her fragile skin that once belonged to an innocent child... who is now a nun carrying trauma and pain for not being able to save herself from a miserable life she ended up living for years.

The blood dripping from her right hand, quickly running down her palms, is an illusion created by her mind as she tries to have friends who once rejected her for being a kind of monster who was only good for healing the needy.

"If you see blood, now I want you to be honest with me in this last question."

Asia, with a confused expression and a certain fear, just nodded her head in agreement for me to ask the question.

"Do you have enemies, Asia?"

Her eyes widened, she had no answers because she was in a strong trance of illusion, little by little she seemed to be forgetting good memories that she never wanted to forget... feeling controlled to forget everything and everyone.

"Well, if there are no answers... I'll just say one thing to you."

[Sandalphon Sword summoning successful, you have destroyed all weapons in the system]

"Asia, you have no enemies. No one on this earth is your enemy, and there is no reason for you to kill or cry for anyone."

A dark aura took over the place where we stood on the monument, and my sword began to glow brightly with Reiryoku spirit.

"The enemy you have in your life will not torment you!"

With the swing of my great sword Sandalphon, I defend the surprise attack that a fallen angel wanted to launch against me and Asia... forcing him to retreat for a good repositioning.

Asia's expression was one of intense fear and enormous sadness, her tears falling continuously down her face, unable to utter a word.

"What a beautiful sight, a perfect sense of danger... defending with impressive power." The unknown girl finally lowered the hood that covered her face and revealed her true identity.

It was her, the fallen angel who was banished from Heaven, Yumma Amano... known as Raynare.

Honestly, that was bizarre. How did I manage to perfectly defend her surprise fatal attack? My body felt really strange at the time... it was as if it had made me predict what was going to happen.

But of course, it was a very pleasant feeling, it just proves even more that after the rest I took on the Fraxinus ship, I evolved into something.

"Of course, you're weak, that's why it was easy to defend your attack, bitch." I ended up taunting and insulting her as I pointed my sword at Raynare.

"Aqua... what's that hole behind your right arm?" Asia wondered mentally as she looked at a small black hole exposed on my skin.

In Raynare's hands, she again summoned a spear of light, which was her main weapon, and tried to strike.

"I'll show you who the bitch is around here, hold on tight to that big sword of yours because I'm going to cut this blade in half." She positioned herself pointing the spear of light at my face.

"I want to see you try, bitch." I quickly made my Sandalphon shine brighter with the Reiryoku Energy that was flying through my veins.
