Eagerly, I prepared to greet Alex's city friends, aware that these close companions. However, I couldn't help but ponder how they might react to discovering my demonic aura. Uncertainty mingled with anticipation as I considered the impact my presence might have on their perception of me.

I struggled to remain calm, reminding myself that honesty and transparency were essential. I was ready to show my face. Dressed with determination, I headed for the door, ready to face the potential judgment that might accompany my demonic nature.

Elena arrived like a bolt of positive energy.

Elena radiated an infectious vitality with her wavy brown hair framing her face. Her eyes sparkled with a hazel hue full of kindness, and her smile reflected genuine happiness at the encounter. She dressed elegantly, combining bright colors that highlighted her vibrant personality.
