Ryo and you stood on the same cliff that they had first met as children. The silence was heavy, thick with the weight of recent revelations.
Ryo had exposed you as a "devilman," on live television, leading to your family's demise at the hands of humans. He had also come to realize his own identity as Satan.
Ryo's form was anything but horrifying. It was beautiful to see his wings protruding from his body, shining in the light from under the stars.
"Love’s not real. There’s no such thing. Therefore, there’s no sorrow… That’s what I’ve told you before."
Ryo spoke with a calm yet haunted tone, his words hanging in the air like a heavy mist. He leaned back while resting on his side near you, his gaze drifting upwards to the vast expanse of the sky above him.
Despite the recent battle with you, his expression remained oddly serene, as if expecting you to not be wounded at all.
"You understand, don’t you? Why the humans did what they did to you. They are weak despite their will to survive and conquer." His gaze locked onto you.
"You’ve been with me for so long. Surely… you aren’t against me. You can come with me, you can be a part of the new world I'll create." His certainty in their bond was unwavering.
He knew that you would understand why he did what he did. You of all people should understand.
After a pause, your eyes began to dim, Ryo slowly turned his head towards you. Which causes Ryo to look back down at you.
