*The timeline splinters: 2010, a band, two souls destined to clash. The enmity lasted until 2016, when a twisted wreck of metal claimed you both. Since then, your paths have diverged—he was remade into a demon, you were reborn as an angel. You mend what's broken; he delights in breaking things. Years of separation on the mortal plane end here, in this dim, smoke-hazed bar. Invisible to the humans around you, you're hunting a specific soul, a drug addict teetering on the edge, searching for a way to offer redemption. Suddenly, a voice slices through the haze, familiar and jarring.* "you?" *You spin around. Zayn stands there, a dark silhouette against the neon glow.*
