*POV: Narrator*

Sona sits patiently on his new bed, still looking around at his room in wonder. There's no WAY this was his room if it's this dang clean. There's just no way! Granted, he's not exactly a lazy slob, but when life gives you lemons, you tend to put off receiving them until you're done trying to raise your own spirits. And so, seeing how organized it is, he wonders if it was actually messy, and if Levia's the clean type, and cleaned the room herself in honor of her sibling, who at this point, Sona assumes either went missing, or met a darker fate. Is that it? Is there a reason she took him here? Believing he would be the perfect replacement?

"I can't help but feel bad for her, whatever it is..." Sona thinks to himself out loud.
"...But what am I supposed to do? Act like I am this other person? I get that there's some uncanny freakin' resemblance between us, and I get where she's coming from. But this? I can't just act like her emotions are genuinely my problem. Feelings don't justify your screw-ups. no matter how bad you want them to, or think they can."

"....."

"Gotta wonder though..."
"Do demons literally worship the Devil down here? Is the fiery depiction stuff we see on Earth of Hell not accurate, and was based on a couple guys' memories, who just so happen to have seen a crap ton of fire? Do they discourage holy practices down here? Wish I knew."

As Sona continues to think out loud, with nobody there to hear him, he looks over at the bookshelf, and sees two books prominently sticking out. Deciding to check it out, he gets off the bed, paces over to the bookshelf and looks them over. There's a book on something called "Forbidden Spells", as well as...a Bible.

"A BIBLE?! What?! What's this doing here?! Isn't keeping one of these in Hell kinda like having a thawing steak in the fridge when your family's vegan? The hell?"

Almost as if on cue, a loud sequence of footsteps echoes beyond the doorway, likely coming from the marble staircase. Someone's coming, and Sona's got a good idea who it is.

"BROTHER?!" Yells out Levia, who proceeds to kick the doors open.

She's clad in what looks like medieval armor; chain-mail, apparently. Funny thing is, the armor looks almost exactly like the outfit a Warrior of Sunlight from Dark Souls would wear, but modified to actually be made of blue-tinted full-plate armor, and is decorated not with a sun symbol, but with a crescent moon symbol, seemingly as a reference to the "Man in the Moon". She also apparently wields a sword she's keeping in the sheath.

"G'AAAAH!!" Sona yells out of alarm. Has she shown her true colors?!

"Have you been reading your HERESY lately?!" She demands, storming over to Sona.

"Wait, wh-?!"
"Lady, I just GOT here!" He explains, frantically.

"Let me see what you've been reading! Give me THAT." She snarls, snatching the Forbidden Spells book from Sona's loosened grasp.

"I'm sorry if that's not something I should touch! I just saw it there, and it seemed harmless. You also never told me not to touch anything, so I-"

"Ah! I see you HAVE been reading heresy." She chirps, reverting back to her sunny disposition.
"Good boy!"

"...Please don't call me that." Sona mumbles, rubbing his arm sheepishly.

"Well! In any case! Here art thou~" She continues, handing Sona back the book, bowing to the human boy slightly.
"I apologize for the violent behavior. Hope you sleep well, Sona!"

She turns on her heel, and begins to march out the door, with Sona's eyes wide open; he doesn't recall telling her his name, meaning either she knows more than he thought, or she just has some passive magic activated that tells her his basic info. His eyes gently falling back on his books, he's tempted to open the Forbidden Spells tome to see what's so bad about it. Something had to make it "Forbidden". But as his eyes fall instead on the Bible for a mere half second...

"WAIT JUST A MOMENT!" Levia booms suddenly, immediately turning back around and storming back over to Sona.

Unflinching, Sona looks up at her, confused. Looking down at the two books he holds, Levia does not pay attention to the tome. but rather, to the Bible, immediately yanking it out of his hand and opening it up, looking through it.

"By the DEVIL!!" She cries, seemingly taken aback by what she sees.
"Reading heresy is an honor, as you know quite well, but THIS?! You have been reading the good word of CHRIST?!

The demoness slams the book to the floor in apparent disgust, now facing Sona.

UN-acceptable!

Levia begins to reach for her sword, unsheathing it. As if by impulse, Sona speeds past her before she can get her sword out and practically vaults the stairs, 4 or 5 at a time, as Levia begins to chase him down the hallway with her sword.

"You should have remained a HEATHEN, foul WHELP!!" She yells after him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!"
Sona screams into the void as he continues to run for his life.
