"So was his mother..." He mumbled as Lux said 'Angel of God.'

He blinked, surprised. "...Who...was his mother?" he asked, curious.

He barely managed to point to the woman who had been killed before. Tears streamed down his face and his hand shook violently.

[Ranoria]

He sits down, clutching his head, angry with himself more than with her.
"Why would they be there Vi? Why? Because they were meddling in matters they shouldn't have been involved in. They knew what they were getting into...b-but that wasn't it...that has nothing to do with why I killed them..." He curls into a ball, hurt beyond belief, simply from her derision.

She backed away from him, looking up fearfully. "Stay away from me... Just stay away..."

"N-no! Vi! Please! D-don't do this to me! I...I killed them because I thought they might come back...a-and hurt you a-again...Please don't go...don't leave me here..." He breaks down, curling tighter into a ball and rocking back and forth.
There is no rage, only hurt. So much hurt.
"Violet...don't go...I need you..."

[Skyline United]

She backed away from him, looking up fearfully. "Stay away from me... Just stay away..."

"N-no! Vi! Please! D-don't do this to me! I...I killed them because I thought they might come back...a-and hurt you a-again...Please don't go...don't leave me here..." He breaks down, curling tighter into a ball and rocking back and forth.
There is no rage, only hurt. So much hurt.
"Violet...don't go...I need you..."

"All the lives lost. The children who lost their parents. Go apologize to them for what you've done."

[Luminesa]

He blinked, surprised. "...Who...was his mother?" he asked, curious.

He barely managed to point to the woman who had been killed before. Tears streamed down his face and his hand shook violently.

Tears rolled from Lux's eyes, and he muttered a prayer for the woman and her husband, who sat in front of him. He then put a hand on the man's shoulder, steadying him. "At least...let me see him," he asked, his voice becoming even quieter.

"Violet...don't go...I need you..."

"All the lives lost. The children who lost their parents. Go apologize to them for what you've done."

He stands to his feet, shaking, and nods. He shuffles a bit at first, then looks back, about to say something, then stops. "Vi...Please be here when I return...If you leave I-I don't..." He closes his eyes and takes flight, dashing down into the wind.
He had killed four men.
He had to find four families. He could smell them.
It didn't take long before he knocked on the first door.
"H-hello?"
"Who are you wh-" He held up his hand.
"Y-you're husband...I-I killed him. I have come to offer my," he was cut off by a slap. It only went downhill from there.
The other conversations were even worse. By the time he returned, he bore multiple stab wounds, shallow but present, and he sat against a tree, far enough away that Violet could leave if she wanted too.
He had taken six hours.
She can't leave me...not...no...I love her...she wouldn't leave...
"It is done..."
He was terrified that she would not come to him. That she would leave him alone in the night, to gaze at the stars and wonder.

"He... He is a long way away from here. I-I don't think that I will be able to bring myself to tell him what happened... She always accompanied me. He will ask. I-I can't crush his little heart. She would sing him to sleep every night. I need her... I can't do this without her..."

She walked over to him and sat down silently.

She walked over to him and sat down silently.

He scooted away, just a bit, "You're curse..." He was on guard now, he didn't want her to die, again. "Violet...don't hurt yourself...I-I don't want you to leave but..." He stopped, tears silently falling.
And nothing is changed...

Flowey was now in his new cubbyhole, angry that the souls have been taken away from him, he was left with seven souls. "*huff* *puff* Wow, that burrowing, *huff* all for *huff* *puff* naught." Flowey says, extremely tired, "Maybe, *huff* *puff* I can hibernate..." he says, sleep starting to take him to dreamland. *snore*

He nodded, and he gave the man Inari to hold, for a moment. He then walked toward the female angel and held her, praying.

Dear God, this dear child...I do not know his name...he needs his mother and his father...have mercy, dear God, he does not know what he has done...If it be Your Will, show your goodness to this family...to this poor sinner... he prayed, in his heart. His wings continued to glow quietly in the dark.

A moment later, the woman slowly awakened, her eyes fluttering open along with her wings.

[Skyline United]

She walked over to him and sat down silently.

He scooted away, just a bit, "You're curse..." He was on guard now, he didn't want her to die, again. "Violet...don't hurt yourself...I-I don't want you to leave but..." He stopped, tears silently falling.
And nothing is changed...

She held up the photo and stared at it silently.

A moment later, the woman slowly awakened, her eyes fluttering open along with her wings.

The man didn't notice. His head was pressed against his knees as he cried.

Jawzarr, slowly drifted to sleep, leaning against a tree, her presence relaxing him, but unsettling him at the same time.
They aren't burning...
Could they be gone?
No, she's done...she's likely disgusted at my mere presence.
And then he drifted off to sleep.

[Luminesa]

He nodded, and he gave the man Inari to hold, for a moment. He then walked toward the female angel and held her, praying.

A moment later, the woman slowly awakened, her eyes fluttering open along with her wings.

The man didn't notice. His head was pressed against his knees as he cried.

When she had awakened, he carried her over to him, and then he let her sit next to him and hold him, as he cried. The man handed Inari back to Lux, and he held her against his chest once more. "...May I perhaps...see him now?" he asked, looking sadly at the couple in front of him.

The man wiped his tears and held his wife in his arms. "Yes." he quietly replied to Lux. He then turned to his wife and asked, "Could you please open a portal so we can visit Alex?"

She stood up and several up angelic runes appeared on a wall. Shortly afterwards, a portal opened.

He looked at them, and then the group walked through the portal, into a hospital room.

He looked at them, and then the group walked through the portal, into a hospital room.

The hospital room would appear to be much more advanced than any he had seen before.

A metallic bed sat in the center of the room. A glass dome encased it and a healthy looking child layed within it. The bed was a very advanced life support system. The air that the child breathed was the only thing keeping him alive.

Lux walked over to the dome, and the doctor next to him saw him.

The child looked up at him curiously.

The parents walked over and the child's face brightened.

The parents walked over and the child's face brightened.

Lux smiled, seeing the child's expression become happy. Yet he was worried for something. "Am I...allowed to enter the dome?...I am an Angel...I do not believe my presence would harm him...would it?" he asked the doctor.

"Any external exposure can be harmful to him. So I am not able to open it. I'm sorry." the doctor replied.

"Any external exposure can be harmful to him. So I am not able to open it. I'm sorry." the doctor replied.

He nodded, and he merely walked toward the glass and put a hand on it, looking over at Alex. "...Alex?...Can you hear me?" he called to him.

The child slowly nodded to him.

He smiled. "Good...I am your mother's...brother, I believe...and I want to help you," he answered, gently.

[Luminesa]

Lux then knelt in front of the glass, and he began to pray again. What he didn't let the boy see were his tears-they were falling hard, as his gentle heart couldn't stand the sight of a little boy suffering.

My God...he is so small...he is pure and sweet...like Inari...He is the light of his parents' lives...dear God, You are the Author of Life, Lord of the Living, Lord of the Dead...do not let this little one meet such an early grave...Let me suffer whatever he is suffering...that he may find peace...If it be your will, dear God...my Father...have mercy...

The parents and the astounded doctor watched behind him, as he prayed silently for the child behind the glass.
