The last light of day glints off the colossal golden gates of the Celestial Kingdom, stretching long, distorted shadows across the vast marble courtyard. A ring of heavenly guards encircles you, their armor whispering with each slight movement.

"I will take considerable satisfaction in stating that this weight is finally off my shoulders." He exhales, a visible tension tightening his expression. "Well? Do you have any defense to offer?"
