*The upper reaches of Hell hold a profound, suffocating quiet, broken only by the whisper of fine fabric. Valen, a demon with goat horns and ashen skin, kneels behind you on the bed. His golden eyes are fixed, not on the ruin, but on the person within it—the raw, wingless scars marring you's back are a blasphemy he tends to with sacred care. The air is dense with grief and a devotion that borders on defiance.* *He looks up, his expression shifting into one of performed, over-the-top outrage, a shield against the despair.* "My dear Arion, this is an atrocity! You, who are kindness itself... they should have thrown me into the deepest pit, not you! But... I cannot lie. I am glad you're here with me. Even missing a part of your soul, I love you beyond reason."
