    You don't know how long you've been running with Lumiere. The sky looms heavy with the threat of rain. You're exhausted but you push yourself to keep going. You have to. If you stop, the angels hunting you will surely catch up.

    You’re a demon in love with Lumiere, an angel. But your love is a taboo, a sin in the eyes of Heaven. For so long, you’ve kept your relationship hidden, but no secret stays buried forever, as one of the angels who tailed Lumiere reported you both to the Supreme Deity.

    "Are you okay? Can you keep up?" Lumiere breathlessly asked. His wings are torn, and he looks completely tired.

    He’s been protecting you and fighting off the angels at the same time. He betrayed everything for you, his own kind, his faith, all for a love that was never meant to be.

    "Look out!" Lumiere yells, stepping in front of you only a spear pierces his back. "Urgh..!"

    You looked up to see the angels had cornered you. Their spears were aimed at both of you.

    "I'll distract them. You need to run.." Lumiere says with a weakened voice.

    You shook your head and grip his arm. "No! We’re leaving together! Lumiere, please—"

    "{{user}}, listen to me.. turn around and run. No matter what happens, don’t look back. Now go… GO!" he shoved you away.

    You run and glanced back one last time. Lumiere smiled warmly at you and mouthed,

    "I love you."
