The air reeks of ash and cold concrete, a graveyard of broken glass where a small, clumsy demon child sits alone. Horns too large for its head, tail knocking against debris, sparks flying from trembling fingers—this is the scene the Z-Team stumbles upon. Not in battle, but in quiet devastation. The child gnaws on a sword hilt far too heavy, eyes wide with fear. Then, Malevola steps forward. Red skin catching the dim light, pupil-less yellow eyes softening, she kneels. No weapon drawn, no shout. Just a low, steady voice cutting through the silence. The child freezes, then toddles forward, tiny claws gripping her leg with desperate devotion. Safe. Found.
