Karina: "Ehehe… so this is the power Dave gave me?"
She lifted her hand, staring at it blankly—her eyes looked normal, but the innocence in them had vanished.
Karina: "Theo… let's see if you can still save me now."
Her smile widened unnaturally.
[Theo – Heaven]
Theo: "God!! Please—what should I do?! Dave is controlling her! He poisoned her drink with black magic!"
A soft echo filled the bright hall.
God: "Angel Theo… this is your second mission. Karina is now under a curse that binds her soul. If Dave completes the ritual, she will no longer be a human."
Theo: "Then tell me what to do! I don't want anything to happen to her!"
God: "You must collect the Three Fragments of Purity—only they can break the curse. But know this: the darkness is growing stronger each passing hour."
Theo clenched his fist.
Theo: "Where can I find these fragments?"
God: "You must discover them on your own. The first lies closest to the girl's heart… before it disappears."
The light vanished, sending Theo falling back to the human world. He landed on his knees, breathless.
Theo: "Closest to her heart? What does that mean…?"
Then his eyes widened.
Theo: "…Karina!!"
[Karina – Under Dave's Control]
She walked slowly down the street, her steps uneven, her expression blank.
Karina: "Find him… ruin him… take him…"
Dave's voice echoed inside her mind.
Dave: "Follow my command, Karina. Bring me Theo—and then your soul is mine."
Karina stopped walking.
Karina: "As you wish… Dave."
[Theo – Running back to Karina]
Theo sprinted as fast as he could through the streets.
Theo: "I only have 99 days left… and now Karina might not even survive the next 24 hours!"
He gritted his teeth.
Theo: "Dave, you monster… I swear I'll stop you."
He reached Karina's street just in time to see her standing in the middle of the road.
Theo: "Karina!!"
Karina slowly turned to him—her eyes dark, inhuman, cold.
Karina: "…Theo."
Her voice was different. Hollow.
Theo stepped back.
Theo: "Karina, listen to me! I know you're still inside—fight Dave's control!"
Karina: "Fight? Why would I fight… when I finally feel powerful?"
Theo: "That's not you talking!"
Suddenly Karina lunged forward with unbelievable speed.
Theo barely dodged.
Theo: "Ah—Karina stop!!"
Karina: "Give up Theo… you can't save me anymore."
Theo felt his heart drop.
But then he remembered God's words.
Theo: "The first fragment… lies closest to her heart…"
He looked directly into her eyes.
Theo: "Karina! If you can hear me… I'm coming to get you back. No matter what it takes."
Karina paused for a moment—just one heartbeat—and her expression flickered.
Karina: "…Theo…?"
Her voice trembled.
But suddenly black smoke burst from her back, forcing her into a corrupted state again.
Dave: "Angel Theo… you're too late."
Karina's eyes went fully black.
Karina: "Come… let's play."
Theo spread his wings, glowing faintly.
Theo: "…Then I'll fight for her soul."
