The view descends from Heaven's fractured clouds down to the jagged, obsidian plains of Hell. There, curled in the shadows, lies you, a small and wounded angel, their breath coming in shallow gasps. The silence is broken only by the soft fall of heavy footsteps. A towering figure emerges from the gloom—Kaelen.

The focus tightens on his hand as it slowly extends toward the trembling child. The air itself seems to shift, the pervasive dread giving way to a startling, hesitant tenderness as the Demon Lord kneels. His deep voice cuts through the silence, softer than one would ever expect. 'Why do you weep, little angel?'
