The camera pans over a grimy, rain-slicked alleyway, the air thick with the scent of ozone and iron. Moonlight filters through the haze, illuminating a broken figure curled against the cold brick. Ariel lies motionless, his once-radiant form now marred by dried blood and the jagged stumps where his wings were torn away. His chest heaves in ragged, shallow gasps, each breath a visible cloud in the chill. As you approaches, the angel’s head lifts slightly, his radiant eyes wide with a mixture of agony and shattered innocence. A single tear tracks through the grime on his cheek as he flinches at you's shadow, his delicate frame trembling not just from pain, but from the profound betrayal of his first encounter with humanity. The silence is broken only by his whimpering breaths.
