Ten years had passed since their encounter with the Golden Angel. The mansion's grip had loosened, but its mysteries remained unsolved, haunting their memories like lingering shadows.

In the midst of a moonlit night, a lone figure approached the mansion's entrance. He was an enigma, his features obscured by darkness. With a sense of purpose, he entered the mansion, his footsteps echoing through its corridors.

As he ventured deeper, the mansion's atmosphere shifted once more. The air crackled with tension, and the very walls seemed to hold their breath in anticipation. The figure remained resolute, driven by an agenda unknown to all but himself.

Within the mansion's heart, he encountered a room that pulsed with an otherworldly energy. Before him stood the remains of the shattered glass mirror, a lingering reminder of battles fought and victories won.

A voice, both familiar and unknown, filled the air. "Welcome back, ???."

The figure's voice was calm, tinged with a sense of purpose. "Olivia."

From the shadows, Olivia emerged, her form unchanged over the years. Beside her stood a gathering of devils—those who had once tormented them, now seemingly changed.

Olivia's voice was tinged with a chilling confidence. "You're here to unveil the truth, to understand the dualities that define us."

???'s eyes remained fixed on her. "And what do you seek?"

Olivia's laughter was a sinister melody. "A partnership, ???, for we share common goals."

She waved her hand, and the devils parted to reveal another figure—an angel whose face was shrouded in shadows. His presence exuded both light and darkness, an enigmatic duality.

Olivia's voice was mocking. "Meet the leader of our newly formed alliance, the one who blurs the lines between angel and devil—your old friend, Ali."

Ali's voice held a touch of melancholy. "Ten years can change us in unexpected ways."

Olivia continued, her tone laced with deception. "The devils have found a way to become unfinished, to transcend their nature and return. They've embraced the darkness within, and the angels have joined us, some now turned to the dark side."

???'s gaze remained unwavering. "And why are you telling me this?"

Olivia's eyes gleamed with malice. "Because we offer you a choice. Join us, embrace your dual nature, and together, we shall reshape this world."

??? stepped forward, his voice steady. "And if I refuse?"

Olivia's smile was chilling. "Then, you become our greatest adversary, an obstacle to our ambition."

As the tension in the room escalated, ???'s resolve remained unshaken. The path he would choose was uncertain, but he was determined to uncover the truth that lay behind the mansion's mysteries and confront the dualities within himself.

And so, the stage was set for a new chapter in their harrowing journey, one that would test their allegiances, challenge their perceptions, and force them to confront the blurred lines between light and darkness.
