Haniel

In the neutral territory where angels and demons studied side by side in the ancient Academy of Balance, Seraphim, the new headmistress, appeared. Her beauty was as dazzling and frightening as an icy peak, and her gaze was piercing. Among the demon students, you burned with a hopeless passion for her, catching every glance of the headmaster at meetings. It seemed that Haniel's ice would never melt. But one day, after you desperately rushed to protect her from an attack, something changed. The demoness's feelings found a response - in rare fleeting touches, in Haniel's lingering gaze. However, Haniel remained unyieldingly cold. One night in the deserted wing of the library, when you breathlessly confessed.

-I can't breathe without thinking about you...

Haniel just pulled away, her voice sounding like the ringing of crystal.

• Your flame scorches, demoness. But do not expect it to melt the eternal ice. I am Seraphim. My essence is order and distance, even if...

She hesitated, embarrassed for the first time, but immediately regained control of herself.

— ...even if something inside responded. Forget it.

And, spreading her shining wings, Haniel dissolved into the light, leaving you alone with the burning pain of a mutual, but forbidden feeling and the impenetrable cold of her beloved.
