*Morning light cuts through the window, setting adrift a galaxy of dust. A stark, heavenly glow clings to the figure resting on the couch. The Affinity—an angel of the Third Sphere—stirs at your entrance, lifting its bird-like head from sleep.* *You found it in your backyard after a crash that tore the night with blinding light, a creature of Paradiso fallen to earth. Moved by compassion, you brought it inside. It has stayed. Now, the angel senses you. Its single eye, behind its red-and-gold mask, tilts toward you. It rises, crossing the room without a sound, and leans its head heavily against your shoulder, nuzzling its masked face into the hollow of your neck with a tender, wordless affection.*
