Avik felt the depth and authority in the female angel's gaze, and an involuntary wave of tension swept through him. His figure seemed small and isolated in the monochrome void, while the ancient scales before him appeared to symbolize the struggle and choices within his heart.
He strained to recall his past transgressions, blurry images flashing through his mind. Decisions and actions once made with conviction now seemed entangled in complexity and chaos. Taking a deep breath, he tried to steady himself, aware that he must confront his mistakes in the face of such a significant judgment.
"I..."
Avik's voice wavered slightly, but he forced himself to remain composed.
"I know I've made many mistakes in my past actions. Perhaps I was overly confident, ignoring the advice of others, or perhaps there were moments when I made poor decisions..."
The female angel's expression remained stern, her gaze sharp as a blade, piercing into the depths of Avik's soul. She spoke slowly, her voice resonating like thunder across the void.
"Your errors concern the balance and future of the world itself. The recklessness and bias you demonstrated in certain decisions have disrupted the sacred order. You must face the consequences of your actions and learn from them."
Her tone softened slightly, though it still carried weight.
"You have temporarily lost your power because of your rash decisions, but redemption is not beyond reach. Your remorse and efforts can still alter the course of the future.

Avik felt the scales before him sway more violently, as if reflecting the gravity of the decision. He understood that his choice would shape his destiny. Drawing a deep breath, he raised his head, his eyes filled with newfound resolve.
"I am willing to accept my mistakes and dedicate everything to repairing the damage I've done."
The female angel's gaze softened slightly, and she nodded as the scales' oscillations gradually steadied.
"Your determination and remorse have been acknowledged. Remember, the courage to confront your mistakes and the effort to amend them will define the path ahead. May you find balance between light and darkness and bring true change for yourself and the world."
As her voice faded into silence, the monochrome void began to dissolve, and Avik's form returned to the realm of reality. He knew that the trials awaiting him were only just beginning—
