Y/N stared at the empty couch. He had a talk with God himself. He looked behind, staring at the door which leads to his and Mayberry's bedroom. Looking back and forth at the door and the exit to decide...He sighed.
"Alright...I'll be quick." Y/N said to himself.
He went inside the bedroom, looking at the snoozing Mayberry. Slowly approaching, Y/N only tucked the demon in a blanket, kneeling down and giving her a quick peck to her forehead.
Mayberry was seen starting to smile in her sleep after that happened. The priest subtly grinned, and now exited quietly...

...
The priest was right outside the door of Stola's home. Staring at it, he knocked on it, waiting patiently.
...
No response.
Y/N knocked on the door again, trying to be a bit more louder so she could hear.
...
Silence again.
He looked around, trying to find a way to contact her before-
*WHOOSH!*
...Y/N was inside her home. He was in the hallways, which lead to Stola's room. Walking down, he saw many portraits covered with cloth. They all covered her face...but the only visible figure was Octavia.
Y/N hummed, kept going on his way. He made a turn, heading to her room. The priest stopped right in front of the shut door, awaiting for a response.
Knocking on the door, he waiting once more.
...
"Come in, Y/N."
"How did you figure out it was me?" Y/N questioned.
"Usually...Blitza used to always barge in during the times of our..."
The priest could've swore he heard a sniffle coming from the other side. He thought to himself, 'Is she alright?'
"...Well, I shall explain more in my chamber. No worries, it's going to be an important conversation that I must let you know about."
The door opened by itself. Stola sat down on the bed, looking at Y/N somberly. Taking a look at her...He realized something must've happened. The Goetia looked miserable, saddened about who knows what happened.
Y/N walked up, and sat right next to her. It was quiet for a moment...
"...Perhaps you need a bit more information after what Blitz might've announced to you privately." She spoke.
"...What did she say?" Y/N tilted his head.
The owl turned to him, puzzled.
"Did...She not tell you?" Stola questioned.
Y/N shook his head. Stola sighed heavily, rubbing her eye to hide a tear which the priest didn't notice.
"...I'm letting you and Blitz go. You are free from my chains. I'm doing this for your own good." Stola states.
Y/N looked at her, baffled by what she just told. She was telling the truth.
"W-What? Pardon?" Y/N needed to recheck.
"Our deal...Is done. Blitz now has an Asmodean Crystal. I gifted it to her so she could be able to continue her business without the exchange. So please...Leave at your own will. After all...Although I may be considered high and prestigious...You probably think of me as low and worthless." Stola told as she got up, walking away.
The priest stood up, following her.
"Stola? What do you mean?" Y/N questioned.
"Be honest, Y/N..." Stola turned to him, staring the human down.
"Do you just think of me as someone who's using you? A puppeteer who has you in my strings, just to be used only for times and thrown away with the others? A prisoner caged up, unable to seek freedom?" Stola questioned.
"No, I don't! What's making you think that I believe that?" He answered, looking at her. Y/N was confused, unsure why she was asking this.
"I am realizing what I have done and I want to let you go! I have kept you down for so long!" Stola finally bursted.
She stared at him, her face shifting. Y/N looked at her, taken aback by what she just said.
"I truly care for you two! But this...This is just wrong! I'm stripping you away from your own life! I've been holding you two down, not wanting to see you go away because unlike my whole 'relationship' with Stella, I truly...I..." Stola was seen struggling with the words she was trying to release.
Y/N walked up, trying to remain composed.
"...What did Blitz say to you...?" He questioned.
Stola got down onto his level, tears forming in her eyes. Y/N placed his hand on her face, wiping it away. However...She didn't say anything about what the imp had said about her. The owl only sulked on his shoulder, the priest consoling her.
"I don't understand...Why do you wish to stay-"
"Listen. I'll confront her about this later...Is there anything else you need to say?" He stopped her sentence.
"...You should've never been sent here. You should be looking down at me from above..." Stola told.
Y/N quietly looked down, thinking about how to respond.
...
"...I was sent here with a purpose. However, during the time I spent here...I learned to believe that Hell, though having its cons...There are good beings that were brought here. You are one of them. ...You don't need to let go of me...I'll be there...Please." Y/N lifted her chin to look directly at her.
"...But I must. You deserve it. Even if it breaks my heart...I'll be accepting the fact you'll finally be unchained and free. For you..." Stola told.
...
The two leaned in, exchanging a kiss. However...It didn't seem lustful...But rather something else...Y/N tried to advance his hand, trying to hold onto hers...
...
"...You deserve to be with Matilda instead. At least you'll have a relationship you truly love."
*WHOOSH!*
...
...
...
Y/N was outside of the household now. His hand, which tried to hold onto her hands...was now holding the entrance door handle of her home. The priest looked at it...and let go.
He stepped back, looking at the large manor.
"...Is this what you really want...?" Y/N muttered to himself...
