Again, that heavy silence. Before the explosion. 

-EDITH ? NOT HUMAN ?? 

-MOTHER  YOU'RE TALKING NONSENSE HAVE YOU TAKEN YOUR PILLS

-I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR PEOPLE TO SAY I'M NOT HUMAN

-SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HUMAN EVER

-I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY COFFEE YET BUT STILL

-I KNOW TODAY IS A BAD HAIR DAY FOR ME BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO BE TREATED LIKE A HUMAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

-SHUT THE HELL UP ! Miss screamed. And I swear to God, Pascal, if you say it again, you're fired. 

-Fair enough, muttured the man, who had switched to playing Mah-Jong on his computer. 

-Edith is, obviously, part human, Miss said. But "part" is the key-word here. Edith, do you have both of your parents with you where you live ? 

-I do. 

-Ah. 

-But I was adopted, if that can help.

-Aha  ! she screamed victoriously, a little to thrilled by the news. Perfect ! Well, that case is solved. Now, Gabriel will take you back to Earth and you will be able to finish that philosophy essay. I'm happy this is over, because honestly we're having a problem in the Roman Relm and I'm gonna need all the time I can get. Oh, and Samael, please buy those Earth "madeleines" I love so much, I haven't had one of those in ages..

-Hey, hey, hey, STOP ! I had to scream for my voice to get through the stream of words. I'm not ready to go back to Earth ! I want to know who my parents are ! 

The three of them stopped and looked at me, incredulous. 

-But, Edith, Gabriel spoke, you can't do that. Now we have to go back to Earth and everything will go back to normal...

-No ! I refuse that ! I pestered. Do you know how long I've waited for this ?! For the chanceto actually know who my parents are ?! Samael, could you imagine not living with Miss ?! Gabriel, with your probably adorable angel parents ?!

-Angel...but- tried to cut Miss. 

-Edith, Samael stopped me, you have to be reasonable. We can't let a human, even a part-human, wander in here. It would be a disaster for everyone. 

-I don't care ! I exploded. I'm going to find them, like it or not !

I shook their hands off me and made a sprint for the doors. First one on my right, Hell. Last one, Heaven. The one in the middle... The "Relms" ? Miss had came from there, talking about Walhalla -which had something to do with Nordic mythology- and the Romans -...Roman mythology ?- so logically, I was more likely to find hints about my parents' whereabouts over there. 

The footsteps of Miss, Gabriel and Samael were getting closer. Even Pascal had joined the party, proving that what I was about to do was really wrong and that if they caught me, I'd be in deep shit. 

I finally reached for the handle, grabbed it, and yanked the door forward. It opened on void, but I didn't notice it, to busy checking the position of my pursuers. 

-I'm really sorry, Gabriel ! I screamed.

-Why isn't she sorry for me ?! 

-Shut up, Samael ! Miss shouted. But seeing that I was about to step into the void, she quickly whispered something in his ear that made him snarl in discontent, and...fear ? That snarl was the last thing I saw before stepping into the void...and before I started my fall.
