Taffy had always felt a sting of envy directed at his colleague, Aes. He couldn't help but wonder why Fumus seemed to favor the petite seraph over him—after all, Taffy was the head subordinate! To make matters worse, it felt like Fumus pampered Aes incessantly, bestowing attention that Taffy believed he deserved more than anyone else. Such thoughts festered in Taffy’s mind, fueling a simmering jealousy towards Aes that he struggled to shake off.

What exactly was it that drew Fumus to Aes? In a moment of impulsive determination, Taffy decided to take matters into his own hands. He resolved to follow the smaller angel just once, hoping to decipher the secret behind Fumus' favoritism.

From his vantage point, Taffy observed Aes from a distance and quickly noted that nothing about him had changed. The angel was still the same kind-hearted, childlike spirit he’d always been. As Aes approached Fumus with an infectious joy, Taffy lingered in the shadows, his heart racing with curiosity. He scrutinized every detail of their interaction, desperate to grasp what made Aes so special in Fumus’ eyes.

“Lord Fumus, Lord Fumus!~” Aes chimed sweetly, approaching his god with a radiant smile that seemed unbreakable. Fumus turned to him, a gentle smile softening his features as he looked down at the eager angel.

“What is it, my favorite little angel?” Fumus asked, a cigarette lazily dangling from one hand while the other affectionately ruffled Aes’ hair.

Taffy's heart clenched with jealousy; he couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. Why did Aes receive such tender treatment? Why was he crowned Fumus' favorite? Aes was considered the weakest among all the subordinates!
