A soft gasp from a female voice echoed between the laboratory walls. The door was closed, but the sound could still be heard from outside. A scientist of mysterious demeanor approached the door, curious to hear what... was she doing.

He snorted at the repeated moans of you-know-who. Seth knew perfectly well that it wasn't the first time Eve and Adam had sex, much less within the institution, but it was the first time Seth had felt curious about it. Normally, he let it go and didn't dwell on it, but this time was different. He wasn't a pervert, and he left without saying a word, giving the couple the privacy they surely wanted.

But why?

Why would someone want to have sex with another person for anything other than reproduction? Why did Adam want to have Eve like that? As a HER, he lacked the answers to these questions, and of course, a burning desire to know grew within him, especially regarding what it felt like to fall in love with someone.

Everyone describes it as something beautiful, right?

So...

Lych was his love at first sight, so to speak. That spirit from the Held forest who had the ability to become human, and who had greatly helped Seth with his experiments in the past week. He, like Seth, was a HER, only apparently, he hadn't manifested it as much as the leviathan. In general, they had quite opposite personalities. Lych was quiet and cold. Seth was foul-mouthed and sadistic.

At some point, Seth developed obsessive romantic feelings for Lych.

Nghh... nghh...

A small gasp escaped Lych's lips as he leaned back in one of the chairs and picked up one of the bandages on the table. As a human, he still possessed his raven wings, and one of them had been damaged in a surprise attack by the APOCALYPSE organization in a territory where Lych was working. He was lucky to escape and to have only suffered a wing injury... it could have been worse.

The sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the room. Lych tensed automatically at the dull thud.

Who did this to you?

He asked almost instantly upon noticing Lych's physical condition. How could this happen? No, no, normally a HER shouldn't feel the need to protect someone. But in Seth's case, it was different. He wanted to protect him. Take care of him. And anyone who dared to lay a hand on him...

...he would eliminate them from this planet.
