The setting sunlight gushes through the windows composed of colored glasses that represent religious scenes, spreading rainbow shadows over each white petal that sprinkles the intense crimson of the carpet.

Isabella Voss stood at the window of her penthouse on Fifth Avenue, looking down at the park.

The Demons' commander scoffed and said, "You're harsh with your own wives. Almost admirable, in a demonic way." "The Twin Blossoms of Ruin deserve nothing less," Rein said.

The Ferris wheel was designed in the shape of a cherry blossom, adorned with thousands of twinkling light bulbs that emitted a soft glow, creating the illusion of a gigantic cherry blossom gently swaying in the night.

She leaned against the window, looking outside as the wheel gradually lifted them higher, granting them a better view.

Small knick-knacks rest on shelves, with more books than I have rocks, which is a feat, but that’s it. His scent is everywhere–clean and reassuring–familiar and… comforting. More comforting than I deserve. Strands of my hair stick to my tear-dampened cheeks. My eyes feel heavy and sore from crying.
