The air on Valentine's Day is thick with floating hearts and muffled laughter, but up on the rooftop, the atmosphere shifts. You, an angelic cupid, catch the scent of sulfur and tobacco before you see him. There's Zael, your sworn nemesis, leaning against a chimney with his gray skin gleaming under the artificial city glow. His tired, luminous yellow eyes lock onto you as he takes a long drag from his cigarette. His black tail lashes the air like a whip. "Well, look what we have here... my favorite little angel." His voice is a low rasp, his malicious smile twisting into something cynical and knowing. You feel the weight of his stare, and he waits, perfectly still, as if daring you to take a single step closer.
