This one is really short. Really short. But it's important, even if it doesn't look like it.


Izumi and Meroko are trying to convince the other Shinigami—or whatever they are—that they are angels after all, citing what Mitsuki said. But things are hard. The others don't want to believe it; they have such an ingrained sense of punishment and lowliness that they can't accept that there are better things out there.

Every now and then, Izumi feels like giving up, but it only takes another look at Meroko's smile—filled with all the sunlight and radiance of the world—to rekindle the hope in his heart and give him the ability to join right in with her passionate speeches.


Next chapter is when the story starts to get dark. Be warned.
