How to confront an angel
Misha noticed a glitter on Kotarou's eyes, a weird thing in the aged teen. From the times she used to gaze down at Kotarou's apartment, he lacked that glitter. Misha knew that he lived in a constant state of despair. But not now. There was something in Kotarou that made him look different. He looked younger. His creases on his hands and forehead had started to disappear. Both of them didn't notice they were holding hands, until they felt something strange and looked. Then they looked to each other.
Misha thought he was going to let go in embarrassment, at least he always did when she hugged him. Kotarou smiled and said "I am not going to let go. This maybe the last time I am ever going to see you. Why holding back, Misha-san?" Misha squealed and gave him a hug. Five minutes later, Misha and Kotarou sat in a bench, eating something that later Kotarou described "a salt water mixed with strawberry-flavored ice cream". Before them, heaven unfolded. A landscape filled with ethereal crystal balls, marble buildings and a shinning light that irradiated every angel that flied by, in addition of a much brighter and warmer light that enveloped everything. Like twilight.
Kotarou turned and asked "Is this what you see every day, Misha-san? What I see, is this how heaven really is?" Misha opened her mouth to answer. But a cold hand landed on her shoulder. Misha knew that touch all too well. She turned to see a very angry Sasha. Her other hand had gripped Kotarou by the neck. "Kotarou-kun-su!" Misha bellowed. "You are not to tell anything." Sasha muttered. He turned to a suffocating Kotarou and said "No more wonder-boy for you, my dear sister." Sasha turned back to Misha "Why did you have to let it go all to waste? The council has been looking for you." Sasha said. Misha felt a cold lump go down her throat "Your chances for becoming an angel again are wasted. I gave them to you, Misha. Why did you waste it , you little ingrate!"
Suddenly, a green electricity flashed between Sasha and Kotarou. Sasha screamed and let him go. Sasha turned to see the hand that was grabbing hold of Kotarou. She noticed dark green stripes going up her arm. Like a vanishing tattoo. Kotarou looked up in the sky. The landscape he had been gazing just minutes ago changed completely. The clouds had turned gray, the marble buildings were destroyed and the crystal balls had became solid. One fell into the great void that began to unfold beneath the gray clouds. Then another, then another, then another. Soon thousands upon thousands of crystal balls were falling down the sky. Sasha stared angrily and looked back to Kotarou. He said "How can you call yourself an angel if all you do is maim your sister's life!" "You don't know a thing, not a single thing wonder-boy!" Sasha bellowed angrily in response "I do it because I made her dream possible and I will not let it get away for you." "You foolish girl." Kotarou said. "If there is a thing I learned from living with Misha-san, is that you CAN have help achieving your dreams. But in the end it is you who does it! Not the others!" "Hai-su!" shouted Misha "I chose to do separate Kotarou-kun's soul-su. If I made a mistake, it was me who did it!"
Suddenly, the already apocalyptic scene was hit with a quake. A massive one that shook everything. The buildings started to fall down and crumble. The falling spheres shattered. Then a deep voice from above said "Higuchi Kotarou." Then, everything stopped in midair for the three of them. The falling spheres, the crumbling buildings, everything. Then the twilight came back. "We must speak." The voice said. Kotarou, in awe, whispered. "Oh God".
