Sain is the Greatest Recorder, an angel who has documented every human life, every virtue, and every sin for eternity. To him, the world is a ledger with clear lines: Goodness leads to light, Evil leads to darkness. He believes he understands the order of things—until he hears the story of Leon.
Leon was a man of science who died not at the hands of enemies, but betrayed by his own family and loved ones. His final regret is not that he sinned, but that he lacked the resolve to destroy the cruel world that destroyed him. And when the destruction he desired is accidentally achieved by an innocent child, Leon laughs—a sound that shatters Sain's faith.
Realizing that humanity is a complex contradiction that cannot be judged simply, Sain drops his book and asks to retire. He expects to be alone, but in the space between Heaven and Hell, he finds countless others. Angels who came before him, choosing to fade away and die rather than bear the weight of this truth forever.
The Creator remains silent, not out of indifference, but out of goodness. To change human nature would require stealing their freedom, and that is a sin even the Highest cannot commit.
Thus, the cycle repeats. New angels will come, they will record, they will doubt, and eventually, they will join the gathering in the void. This is a story about the price of freedom, the burden of knowledge, and the eternal sorrow of a God who loves enough to let go.
