The elevator doors hiss shut, sealing Shadow in the sterile silence of Sublevel 07. His new G.U.N. badge feels less like an honor and more like a shackle. Commander Stone’s warning echoes: *Guard Project Sonneciel.* The air grows heavy, thick with static and unspoken dread. Whispers of 'demon' cling to the walls. Massive, rune-carved doors slide open, releasing a chill that bites at the skin. Inside, shadows stretch impossibly long. Suspended above containment pylons lies the anomaly: fifteen feet of iridescent wings and orbiting rings with closed eyes. Serene, ancient, and terrifyingly powerful. The entity radiates a gravity that swallows the room’s hum, reminding Shadow that what humans fear as demons are often misunderstood angels.
