'It looks like some kind of evil soul resides in me.' Sho thought.

'Yeah. Right. There's no other outcome possible. Maybe that evil soul is the reason for my ticket to hell.

This is what happens when your mind has been blocked from everywhere and is filled with excuses and illogical theories to avoid your current situation. I have to stop thinking about all those superstitions and focus on what to do next.' He thought.

'Hmmm, Judgement Hall huh?' Sho whispered.

Sho was wondering what would happen to him now.

That man was gone now, but one thing's for sure, he was not a human.

Sho guessed that he was working like some guard or spectator when he met him.

"murmur...murmur"

He started hearing some soft murmuring.

'Is that guard talking to someone?' He thought.

The murmuring stopped.

Someone was coming this way. All of a sudden, the room was filled with bright light and some glitter-like substance spread all around. The person stopped. Sho could see the feet and they were of a female. He tried looking upwards to see her face, but his eyes were looking downwards.

'I can feel it. It is not some kind of suppression from her side, it's just my eyes that are not meeting the standards.' He thought.

'What is she? Is she an angel or someone related to that?'

"You look quite healthy, Tsurumi Sho."

She knew his name.

'Should I feel proud or scared that someone like her knows my name?' He thought.

Sho was still looking downwards.

'If you don't mind, can I ask why do you know my name?'

Sho had to speak carefully because if she got offended, he didn't know what would happen to him.

"Don't you think, you have something more important to deal, than your questions right now?"

'Is she talking about that 'judgment hall' thing?' Sho thought.

She pushed her hands through the barriers and put her palm on his cheeks.

"Don't worry. I already know that you are not the one responsible for your current situation."

Her voice was elegant. She was talking to him while sliding her fingers on his lips.

"I know everything about you. I even know why you are in this predicament."

"Aren't you curious? You want to get out of all of this, right?"

'Ye-Yes, I want to.'

She slid her fingers to his chin to get control of his face and looked directly into his eyes.

'...'

"..."

She was a divine being, a goddess.

'It's like whatever I speak will be considered an insult to her presence.' Sho thought.

All these thoughts started filling up his mind and more were coming through.

She was the pinnacle of beauty. Her white hairs, those golden eyes filled with the superiority that surpasses the incomparable were just too much for his eyes.

"You just have to do as I say and everything will be fine."

He could hear her even when she was not speaking?

She started explaining the ploy for his escape.
