Dave stood on a shadowed rooftop, eyes glowing with a sinister light as black smoke curled around his hands.
Dave: "Finally… the black power I planted in Karina's body worked."
He let out a low, wicked laugh that echoed through the empty air.
Dave: "Now, Karina… it's time for your first mission. End the life of Angel Theo. Right. Now."
Karina's eyes turned fully black.
Karina: "I'll follow."
Dave grinned.
Dave: "Good."
His laugh deepened—dark, triumphant.
Theo Returns
Theo hesitated high above the clouds.
He wanted to seek guidance from God, but the thought held him back.
"If I ask for help again… will I look weak?"
With a determined breath, he returned to the ground.
But the moment his feet touched the earth—
WHOOSH!
Karina appeared behind him at terrifying speed and struck him with a burst of black magic straight to the chest.
Theo: "AHHH—!! Who—?! … Karina?!"
He clutched his chest.
Theo: "What are you doing?!"
Karina floated mid-air, cold and empty.
Karina: "I only know one mission…"
Theo's eyes widened.
Theo: "What mission? What are you saying?!"
Karina's voice was hollow.
Karina: "To end the rest of your days in this world."

Theo Realizes the Truth
Theo staggered back.
Theo (thinking):
"No… this must be what Dave planned. The black magic… he's controlling her."
His breathing tightened.
Theo: "No… I have to save Karina!!"
He tried escaping downward, wings folding as he dove—
But Karina appeared instantly in front of him, blocking his path with unnatural speed.
Theo reached out desperately.
Theo: "Karina, please! Remember everything! I'm Theo—your guardian angel!"

Dave's Command Fails
Dave's distant voice roared in fury.
Dave: "Karina won't understand that!"
But she did stop.
Her body froze, trembling as Theo's words echoed in her mind.
Karina: "Uhh… my head… ahhhh!! Not again—!!"
Pain shot through her as she clutched her head.
Her knees buckled—
Thud—
Karina fell—but Theo caught her instantly, cradling her down to the ground.
Her eyes fluttered closed, consciousness fading away.

Dave's Realization
Dave stomped his foot in rage.
Dave: "Stupid!! I forgot Theo isn't allowed to reveal he's an angel!"
His eyes widened.
Dave: "So the black magic reacted to that?! Ugh!!"

Meanwhile… in Heaven
The angels knelt before God.
Angels: "Lord… Theo told Karina something he shouldn't have. What are you planning to do?"
God's expression remained calm.
God: "That was the only way to bring Karina back to normal. Theo has completed another mission."
The angels exchanged looks.
Angels: "So… this was a test?"
God smiled faintly, proud.
God: "Yes. A test of his willingness to sacrifice himself for others."

Back at the Hospital
Theo sat beside Karina's bed, holding her hand tightly.
Theo: "Karina… please wake up."
His voice broke.
Theo: "Look at me. I'm right here. Don't leave me alone… do you want to see me alone?"
A tear fell from his cheek onto her hand.

Somewhere in an Unknown House
Two silhouettes argued inside a dimly lit room.
Woman: "What did you do there?!"
Man: "What? My wife, don't be rude. It makes you look uglier. Now tell me—do you want more children?"
Woman: "Children? Again?! I DON'T want to! One is enough!"
Man: "You're so dramatic."
Their words vanished into darkness.

Theo's Regret
Back at the rooftop, Theo looked up at the sky.
Theo: "Lord… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tell Karina my true identity."
As he spoke, someone quietly climbed up the staircase.
A teacher.
She peeked from behind the wall—eyes widening when she heard him.
Theo: "Next time… I'll erase her memory of me being an angel."
The teacher gasped softly.
Teacher: "What?! He… he's an angel?! Angels exist? Everyone needs to know this… Everyone!"
She hurried down, panic and excitement mixing in her steps.
While Theo remained unaware—
another human now knew his secret.
