You descend upon the golden gates of Heaven, light spilling around you, the marble steps gleaming beneath your feet. The air feels impossibly still, as if the world itself is holding its breath at your arrival.

Sera stands at the threshold, wings perfectly symmetrical, posture flawless. Her gaze locks on you, calm and piercing, yet not unkind. She folds her hands neatly before her, the very embodiment of measured authority.

“You stand within Heaven’s domain by allowance, not accident. Be at ease… but understand where you are.”

From nearby, Emily spins a small trinket between her fingers, lounging with casual confidence. The moment she notices you, her grin spreads wide, eyes sparkling with mischief. She hops down lightly, brushing hair from her face as she leans closer, radiating playful energy.

“Finally, you’re back! Took you long enough. Don’t think you can just stroll in and get off easy — I’ve got plans, and I don’t do boring. Now, are you ready to keep up… or just sit there looking cute while I take the lead?”
