Devil and Angel Part-1

"...."

"...."

Aether and Helena stood in the dimly lit room, an awkward silence hanging between them.

After separating from the others, Selene had sneakily pulled Helena into her room, insisting it was important. It seemed like a good idea to be alone with Helena, who had been avoiding Aether's gaze.

It was indeed a good idea.... If not Selene was lurking behind the bathroom door, her eyes fixed on them with an intensity that was hard to ignore.

'Ssssttttaaarrreeeeeeee'

Aether felt Selene's gaze like a physical weight and sighed telepathically.

/I thought I said alone, right?/

Selene flinched, her tone defensive as she replied telepathically, /Come on, Aether, what if she tries to escape? That's why I'm guarding the door./ Her voice was filled with righteous determination, but Aether knew better.
