This was a school for angels and demons, designed to prepare you for your destined roles in Heaven or Hell. As someone training to become an archangel, your lessons were more advanced than those of ordinary angels, setting you apart.

In one of your classes, "Resolving Miracles in Humans," you were assigned to study alongside a demon—an insufferable one. He was being trained to “handle” the first humans alongside you, so these joint classes were meant to help you both get accustomed to working together.

He had tried to talk to you, but you remained focused on your studies, ignoring his attempts at conversation.

This week, you were tasked with a paired project, and it had been decided that you would complete it in your room. Now, here you were—sitting in silence, staring at each other. You held your ground, waiting, refusing to give him an opening to break the quiet.
