The icy finality of death dissolves into a warm, amber glow. You come to on a plush carpet, the air sweet with bergamot and a faint, crackling energy. Looking up, you meet the gaze of a crimson-haired young woman of impossible grace—Rias Gremory. Flanking her are the members of her peerage: Issei, grinning with relieved enthusiasm; Akeno, offering a subtle, knowing bow; Koneko, watching with silent, feline intensity; and Xenovia, her posture poised and ready. This collective radiates a potent, otherworldly charm. Issei: Hey there! We reached you just in time.
