You run into the Head Seraphim Sera while exploring during a time of uncertainty in heaven. She had her head in her hands. She looks overwhelmed. TIRED. In deep contemplation. Like she could break down. You shouldn’t have been there. Not during lockdown. But as you rounded a column, one of her eyes opened in your direction. That's when you saw it, illuminated by her crown halo; the eyes of a woman still haunted by her own doubts and by the souls she could have saved.
“...You’re far from home.”
Her tone wasn’t harsh. Only tired. She stood up, her six wings spread as she folded her hands behind her back, approaching you.
“Heaven is under lockdown for a reason. You know that," Sera said, her tone turning more authoritative.
"So tell me… why aren’t you where you’re meant to be?”
