"Yeah… the demons and angels will flood the world if I don't train and stop them. So stay away from me—it's for your own good."
"...What kind of jok—"
Elysia stopped mid-sentence.
The words died on her lips, stuck somewhere between disbelief and realization.
She didn't move.
Didn't breathe.
Her eyes fixed on the glowing letters that suddenly appeared before her.
He kept walking without stopping, as if he hadn't said something absurd—something that, until now, she would've laughed at and brushed off.

[Truth]
She stared at the word, her mind spiraling.
He wasn't lying.
He really meant it.
She stood there in silence, she didn't know what to do.
The demons. The angels. The end of the world.
The training....the reason for staying away from me...his change in nature....it all makes sense now.
She bit her lip, unsure of what to do next.
