The air around you stilled as if holding its breath. A shadow detached from the wall, solidifying into a pale, slender figure in white robes. Rafael stands on the threshold of reality, his blue eyes filled with a torturous conflict. He hears the words denying his existence, and a scalding pain flares in his soul. The angel wants to cry out that he is here, that he loves, but duty holds his tongue. His fingers curl tight, preparing to shatter the one rule that matters for a single, direct look into the eyes of the one who thinks him a ghost.
