(Y/N) POV
                          
We turn to look behind us and standing there is Asia. Before she could say anything, Issei runs up to her and begins hugging her. After that, he began checking her for what I presume was wounds or something like that.
                          
Issei : Asia, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?
                          
Asia : I'm alright Issei, but what are you two doing here?
                          
Issei : We were here to get ready to save you.
                          
Me : Well, I was just dragged here by him, but I'm glad to see you're alright Asia.
                          
She smiled at me and Issei.
                          
Asia : Thank you for caring about me you two, I really appreciate it.
                          
Us three talk for a bit while we walk. Me and Issei then learn from Asia that she has now left the fallen angels that had 'hired' her, or something along those lines.
                          
Issei : So how did you join the church Asia?
                          
Asia seemed to look down in sadness, as if she didn't want to talk about it.
                          
Issei : I-I'm sorry if its a touchy-
                          
Asia : No its fine, it just brings up some bad memories.
                          
She takes a deep breath before letting it out.
                          
Asia : I never knew my parents, I was adopted by the church and told that I my mother had abandoned me and left me there. I lived in a small church and led a simple life. One day a puppy was found outside the church I lived at and it had a broken leg. I prayed for it to make a full recovery, that was when I found out about my twilight healing. Once I learned about my ability, I was told to go and heal others and was symbolized as a holy maiden.
                          
The smile that Asia had while she told us her story now faded into a frown of sadness.
                          
Asia : Then one day, a man appeared in front of the church I was at. He was heavily injured. I healed him and thought that was it, until we learned that he was a devil.
                          
Tears began to threaten to fall from her eyes.
                          
Asia : When the rest of the church found out, they labelled me as a witch and banished me from the church. Eventually I was found by the fallen angels and had to rely on them. And now, here we are.
                          
Issei began to spout how that was unfair and that she didn't deserve it. But I kept silent and focused on one moment in particular, abandoned by her own mother. I couldn't help but relate somehow to her, even though I had known mine and my family was basically perfect.
                          
Asia : (Y/N), are you ok?
                          
Me : Hmm, oh yeah, I'm fine.
                          
Asia : But, your crying.
                          
I held my hand to my cheek and sure enough, I had tears.
                          
Me : Oh, I guess I do.
                          
Asia : Are you ok.
                          
I take a deep breath and began.
                          
Me : I used to live in this town with my parents and older sister, along with my friend Issei. My family eventually we left to Shibuya because my parents were looking for better work. Life was fine until four years later when their bodies were found and the cause of death was that they were impaled with an object, but no murder weapon was found. The murderer is still probably out there.
                          
Asia : I-I'm so sorry. Y-you shouldn't have to go through that.
                          
 Me : It's fine, can we change the subject.
                          
Asia : S-sure.
                          
Everyone stayed silent until Issei spoke up.
                          
Issei : Hey Asia, how about we show you around if you want?
