It opens to a slightly snowy city street, no cars in sight, lights on in all the buildings. Everything appears to have a whitish-purple-pink tint. There's telephone poles, trees, covered in snow, streetlamps. It feels cozy.

Harmonia walks out, not putting shoes on like a fucking stupid bitch. She looks around in awe. "Holy shit..."

"Welcome to my Domain, Miss Reeds. There's a wonderful cafe close by, shall we head there?"

Harmonia nods, blushing a bit. "You can call me Harmonia by the way- um- how are you?"

"I'm doing well, Harmonia, yourself?" she asks, starting to walk as she gently guides Harmonia, hand on her shoulder.

Harmonia shrugs. "I've been better I guess"

"I hope that this can lift your spirits, then," Zachriel smiles, continuing to walk.

"Thank you,, I just..." she sighs. "Relationship troubles..."

"I understand." Zachriel nods, as they find themselves in front of a cafe. "Shall we?"

Harmonia nods. "We shall-"

They walk into the cafe, and Zachriel brings Harmonia out to the back and to a private area. "We can talk more privately here."

Harmonias eyes widen as she looks around. "Holy fuck... this is beautiful-"

"Thank you, I made it all myself," Zachriel chuckles, leading Harmonia to some seats around the fire, sitting and motioning for her to do the same. "Make yourself comfortable, please."

Harmonia does so, sitting down in a comfortable spot. "So um,, what do you want to talk about? Did I mess something up again?" She half jokes.

"No, you didn't," Zachriel says, as drink menus form from thin air in her hands, giving one to Harmonia. It has a lot of drinks on it. Like. Anything you could think of.

"I wanted to talk to you about things, mostly involving you and your friends." Zachriel looks up into the sky. "Involving Abaddon, as well."

"Ah... Im assuming I should just let you lead?" She asks nervously

Zachriel chuckles. "Those horns, you got them the day you fell into Sheol and Jormungandr saved you, correct?"

"Sheol? Do you mean Abaddon?" Harmonia asks, tilting her head

Zachriel nods, smiling. "Many names for one place."

"Yeah I did... woke up with the horns and uh, something else." She looks away, sipping her drink

Zachriel takes a sip of her drink as well. "And you know what those horns mean, yes?"

Harmonia nods sheepishly. Zachriel looks to Harmonia.

"What do you think it means to be human, Harmonia?"

She doesnt return the look, staring at the glass. "Um... I don't know... its.. muddled these days."

"Do you know what you are?"

"Demon? Hybrid demon I guess?"

"An easy target."

She freezes. Was this a trap? Was she in danger? "H-how so?"

"Have you seen any other Violence demons with horns like yours?"

"Um... no..."

"I want you to think about that for a bit," Zachriel says, taking another sip of their drink.

"Are you saying Abaddon put a hit on me?"

Zachriel shakes their head. "You're a toy for him to play with."

"S-so he.. decorated me?" She asks, starting to feel sick as she stares at the wine in her glass

"I can't say for certain."

"But thats what you think?"

"I could be wrong."

"The other dutchess's horns look different then mine?" she asks for confirmation

"Who's to say they even exist at all?" Zachriel takes another sip.

Harmonia looks at her. "Im- confused- Azriel said there were others?"

"You're in danger, Harmonia. You and your friends. Something horrible is coming." Zachriel's eyes appear glossed over as she stares into the distance.

"We're always in danger- thats not new-" She says nervously

"You haven't experienced the worst yet." Zachriel stands up. "Can I show you something, Harmonia?"

Harmonia stands up as well. "S-sure..." Shes clearly shaken up by their words. Zachriel holds her hand out for Harmonia to take.
