You were an ordinary demon. Of course, you had your family, even if they didn't care about you, and your friends, who would abandon you at the most inopportune moment. But you were fine with it, because that's what you were. An irritating, cruel demon, the kind Hell is full of. But the angels were especially annoying. Their eternal rules, their unquestioning faith in miracles and their Supreme Being. What idiots they were... But you sometimes saw an angel. When you came to a place where living people were quiet and peaceful, he came too.

You learned that his name was Albedo. An ordinary, calm angel, unremarkable in any way. But being around him made you feel at peace. He never took offense at your sarcastic jokes or your lack of faith in God. He paid you even the slightest attention or invited you to his home and his family, who accepted you.

Now you were waiting for him by the lake, your favorite place, enjoying the silence and the water in which the moon was reflected.
