Mirai, with a mixture of lingering grief and newfound hope, observed as Luna, Gabriel, and Raziel prepared to depart. Luna's departure was imminent, prompted by the concern for her father's reaction to her potential lateness. Gabriel, maintaining his protective stance, declared his intention to escort Luna safely home, an offer seconded by Raziel, now Luna's newly appointed protector.
As they stood in the gentle glow of Mirai's porch light, a temporary farewell hung in the air. Luna's infectious joy remained intact, a contrast to Gabriel's vigilant demeanor and Raziel's relaxed posture. Mirai, locking her door with a final gaze at Raziel, couldn't shake the resemblance between him and Azrael.
The trio ventured into the night, their footsteps creating a symphony of contrasts – Gabriel's protective resolve, Raziel's casual stroll, and Luna's carefree skips. Despite the tension, Luna radiated a sense of security, blissfully unaware of the underlying complexities.
