The sound of the door knocking took Han's attention from the television and he stood up to walk over to the door. What he saw when he opened it made him gape in shock. Celestia was currently holding Astonia on her back.
"What happened?" He managed to ask as she walked past him, forcing Zerro off the sofa before she gently placed the elderly lady onto it.
"I showed her who I truly am and she fainted in shock." Celestia deadpanned and Han released a sigh.
"Why did you show her for? I thought you were going to work out your problems with your family, not cause a scene." Zerro mentioned with a raised brow but the gleam in her eyes darkened when she recalled what she had been told.
"Rosella was killed." Her revelation earned a gasp from the two, their reaction the same.
"What?!"
She nodded, looking at Astonia and letting out a sigh.
"I don't feel sad over her death but Astonia has been taking care of Rosella since she was as young as me so, I want to find who killed her." Celestia told but Zerro began to protest.
"We don't have time to find out her killer. We have to win against my brother and-"
"The stalker who killed Rosella is going to come after me now. They want me dead too."
Celestia took out the folded note from her pocket and handed it to Zerro who read the content written down, followed by Han who blinked at one word in particular.
"Power? Is her stalker a supernatural being?" He questioned with wonder as he looked up at the girl.
She nodded as her answer, looking down at Astonia as she noticed the older woman was waking up.
"Celestia?" She called with a whisper as she slowly sat up.
"Are you okay, Astonia?" Celestia kneeled down to her level and placed a hand on her back.
"I am but...where are we?" She looked around in wonder before her eyes settled onto Han and Zerro.
"This is Han's apartment where I have been living." Celestia said, introducing the blue haired boy in the process.
"Oh...I see." the young girl could tell that Astonia was taking the living situation the wrong way and quickly jumped in to explain herself.
"You already know I'm not human, Astonia. Han is an angel and Zerro is a demon. We're working together to find Rosella's killer."
Astonia's eyes widened as she took in the news and it wasn't long before she was in tears. Han grew startled and kneeled down to comfort the elderly lady in some sort of way while Zerro rolled his eyes, finding the situation unamusing.
"Why are you crying?" Han spoke in a gentle manner.
"I'm just thankful that you are willing to do this. I-I thought you wouldn't because of how Rosella had treated you all these years..." She mumbled as she lowered her head in shame but Celestia called for her once more.
"I'm doing this for you so you can be at peace and live your life with happiness. I also want to move on from this and start fresh." The black haired girl told with a small smile.
Astonia stared into the other female's eyes searching for any doubt or hesitation but all she saw was honesty and determination.
"Okay." The older woman took a deep breath before watching as the three sat down in front of her, opposite of the where she sat.
"I need to know this first. Where or how was Rosella harmed?" Celestia enquired as she crossed her arms, tucking them under her chest.
"Well..." Astonia hesitated as she recalled the area where she saw Rosella had been wounded.
