5 a.m. on the bathroom floor from the night before

Do you find me dreadful?

Do you, Katan?

What a shame

Such a sad disgrace

Do you see me for the monster that I am? Can you see past your initial perceptions of me? I have fallen far since the time when I was God's most beloved angel.

Such a pretty face which is not regretful

I know that I have hurt you, but I will keep you here beside me, always. I can never let you go.

Am I beautiful?

Those words only mean something coming from you, Katan.

Am I usuable?

Lies, corruption, instability. Is there anything left that I am good for?

It's killing time again

I can protect you, at least.

Put on your face and let's pretend these killing lights won't kill us all again

Even if this war rips Heaven apart, I will protect you.

3 a.m. on the city street when the air is sweet

Ah, Assiah. Sometimes... I wonder what it would be like to live there, as a human. In sin, with you.

But it seems outside the screen

Such a pretty face

Often will look dreadful

You are the one thing of beauty that has come from my life.

Am I beautiful?

On the outside, I am beautiful. Inside... that remains to be seen. But you, you are still pure.

Am I usuable?

I'm sorry, Katan.

It's killing time again

I don't know how to love you.
