Morning sunlight streamed through the lattice windows in scattered golden shards. As the door handle turned with a soft click, Samael stirred, his senses tingling. He pried open his eyes with a yawn and sat up in bed.
Outside the door, a figure stepped in—green hair, starry eyes, bright yellow apron, and emerald horns glinting in the light. She approached and, without a word, pressed th...
