Chapter 2: A Shitty Day (2)

- O Child, forgive me for forcing such a heavy burden on you.
Saying so, the radiant angel placed her hand on my shoulder. Her touch felt warm and gentle.
- However, please understand that this is a necessary sacrifice. That thing must remain sealed.
The angel's voice was as quiet as a whisper, and her body appeared so faint as if she would disappear at any moment.
I didn't realize it back then, but I understood now. The angel was dying. She had used up all her strength, even the power meant for herself, to create the seal.
- If it is released, it will lead to a catastrophe far greater than the tragedy that occurred in this city today…
- O Child.
- Please, protect the seal. The path will be one of suffering, where the seal will press upon your flesh and torment your mind... But you should understand; this is the right path for the sake of the world.
