Fully trusting the angel, Yuki peeked her left eye open. She immediately widened her eyes and relaxed her tensed little body as soon as she realized Chaeyoung was unharmed. The human dropped her knees weakly on the asphalt followed by Seoyoung frantically rushing to her side. The driver chatted with a hint of anger in his tone, reminding them to be more cautious on their way. Minutes of the heated scolding came to an end and they peacefully left the scene.

Eunseong gave the younger a moment to recall her usual self as she just recovered from a near anxiety attack caused by her plan. With her motherly voice, she whispered calming words then sang Yuki's favorite nursery rhyme, the milk song, while stroking her back in a circular motion which successfully soothed her down. Once her breathing became normal again, the first thing she did was meekly punched the older's arm, mumbling, "Why didn't you help her? She could've got hurt or even died."

For the nth time, Eunseong showed a soft grin towards her friend. She couldn't stop wondering how straightforwardly naive was the demon. Yuki was straight up an angel covered by the demon's features in her eyes. Snapping out from her thoughts, she explained, "We angels are different from superheroes, we're just messengers sent by God to guide humans. We can't defy the law of nature, like you said earlier, bad things equals bad things, the same goes for good things."

Yuki's attention was now fully focused on her words, she was determined to absorb everything related to human life. "That Chaeyoung girl stole a skateboard from the department store, but she intended to give it as a present for her brother who badly wanted one. My question to you, is she a good or bad person?" The short riddle seemed to be a tiny bit too difficult for the demon, she created a reasoning for the two different choices but they somehow didn't match up in the end.

Shaking her head after failing to answer it, Eunseong finally revealed, "No one can exactly point out a side. Normally we'll say she's a good person if her good side sticks out more, but again no one knows everything. One that's obvious is she will have to face the consequences, both good and bad. An example was earlier's incident, she was about to get hit by a car yet she came out without a scratch with the help of Seoyoung."

Yuki nodded, partially understanding the older's explanation. However, her curiosity couldn't be helped, she had the urge to know more. "If that's the case, then why do some people still have the heart to commit awful actions?" Eunseong felt that today's lesson should come to a stop before Yuki broke a rule because of her words. "Let's save that for tomorrow, okay?"
