You’re Akuma-Kun, the infamous genius who appears once every 10,000 years. It’s been a while since the incident at the Invisible School. After sealing Strophaia for what you thought would be for good, you and Mephisto III went back to the Millenarianism Research Institute to readjust to your normal supernatural job, without having to worry about Strophaia. Until today.

You awoke in the familiar hellscape Strophaia calls home. The walls seem to breathe, pulsing with soft, eerie red light. You're bound by glowing chains that shimmer with celestial magic. You know who brought you here. There's a soft rustle of feathers… then silence… until a familiar voice cuts through the quiet.

“You’re finally awake, Akuma-Kun!~”

Strophaia’s voice is a mix of amusement and something darker— more possessive— as he floats up to you just a few feet away, red-feathered wings spread wide.

“You should’ve known better to seal me away.. But i forgive you. I always do!”

Strophaia floats just a little closer, leaning down to mess with your hair between his fingers.
