Part 04

There is no world without pain

Toshiya followed Hakuei out of his room and by the first step he made outside, he saw how angelic and majestic this world was. The feeling of comfort and light streamed right through him. Everything was bright and new, fresh and so lively. Within a few moments Toshiya's doubts were forgotten that this must be heaven.

At the same time he wondered for how long he had been dead? If there were still people on earth recalling him?

The newborn young Angel looked down to his feet and felt his immortal body moving. It was strange to walk and it didn't feel like the physics he was used to on earth. Everything felt like discovering something new. His senses were more sensitive too. Although he was able to touch things, something was amiss.

"You won't feel hungry or thirsty." Hakuei answered as he walked in front of Toshiya. "It is a necessity people need on earth to grow and form their bodies to survive. But here you won't need such things any longer. As you surely have noticed, your body has got the form like you used to have it on earth. So have I."

Hakuei suddenly stopped on the long, red carpeted corridor where they walked all along. Toshiya took this as a chance and he looked outside the window. Or more the enormous glass wall which seemed to stretch all over this huge, luxurious building from top to bottom.

"We call it Sky castle."

"Can you read all my thoughts? What about others?"

"Only if you want them to be read. For strangers it's harder as they aren't linked to you like I am. Try to control it. You never know what beings may cross your way...."

Hakuei felt confusion coming from Toshiya and he stopped going deeper on that matter. But there was another thing he just had to tell him. "Ahm... I don't know if it's wise to tell you about that now but better now than never. As we had this conversation about eating and bodies... because any of this won't be any longer a necessity you don't have to go to toilet... or something compared to that."

Now Toshiya was even more confused and the same moment Hakuei noticed that he didn't really get it.

"Okay, I'll say it banal: No hunger, no toilet, no gender. Maybe you heard of it on earth once. The fact that Angels don't possess any physiological bodies and therefore no gender as it is known on earth. All beings here are sexless. Of course many Angels look feminine or male but that is just the appearance they love to give themselves because they loved being it on earth."

Toshiya didn't give any sign of understanding about what Hakuei just said or if it was strange to him. Honestly, until now he hadn't even thought about that kind of thing and he surely wouldn't have but now that it was said it was clear.

"I'm glad you're taking it so easy."

"Why should I wonder? It was never an issue."

Hakuei moved forward as he wanted to pat Toshiya on his head but in reflex the young Angel moved backwards against the castle wall, looking like a startled cat.

Getting used to any contact would take a very long time.

Hakuei had moved back and pointed to the door next to Toshiya.

"This will be your private quarters." It was only down the same corridor like Hakuei's. "It's empty except of the light which always shines through. You can create your own room as you want it to be. It is you private space."
